Steam cord storage space Locking system for retaining the iron on the base Lock system • Your steam station is equipped with a retaining hoop which locks the iron on its base for easier transport and storage: - Locking - fig.1 - Unlocking - fig.2 • To carry your steam station by the iron handle:
- Place the iron on the iron rest of the steam station and raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) - fig.1 . - Grasp the handle of the iron to carry your steam station - fig.3 . Preparation What water to use ? • Tap water: Your appliance has been designed to function using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend you use a mix of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in most shops. Always remember: Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic ap- pliances).
Such additives can affect the steam pro- perties and at high tempe- rature, form deposits in the steam station chamber which are likely to stain your washing. • Types of water not to use: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron. Also only use distilled water as advised above.
Filling the boiler • Place your steam station on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. • Check that your appliance is unplugged and cold. • Unscrew the boiler cap. • Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water. Fill the boiler, taking care that the water does not spill over fig.4 . If this occurs, remove the excess water. • Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but not over tight. Using the Easycord system Your iron is equipped with an extension cord system to prevent the cord from dragging over the laundry and creasing it again when ironing. Take the steam cord out of its housing and unwind it completely.
Press the Eject button and the Easycord system extends automatically. When the cord outlet tips, the Easycord system extends automatically without you ha- ving to press the Eject button - fig.5. Always use the Easy- cord system for en- hanced comfort of use. 21 EN • P LEASE REFER TO SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS BOOKLET BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
