Water Usage

Your steam iron is an electrical appliance. Use it accordingly. It is designed for domestic use only.

The appliance is equipped with two safety systems: A pressure release valve to prevent excessive pressure. If a fault occurs, the valve will release excess steam. A thermal fuse to prevent overheating.

Connect the appliance to a suitable electrical system (AC only). Incorrect connection may cause irreversible damage and void the warranty. Connect the iron to a 220V-240V socket with proper grounding.

Do not leave the power cord near or on hot surfaces or sharp edges. The soleplate and stand of the appliance can reach very high temperatures and may cause burns. Do not touch them. Prevent contact between the soleplate and the power cord.

Use a ventilated or perforated ironing board and be careful of steam when ironing near the edges of the board. The appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Handle the appliance with care, especially when upright. Do not direct steam towards people or pets.

Do not immerse the iron in water or any other liquid. Do not rinse it under running water!

What Water Can Be Used?

The iron is designed for use with regular tap water. If your water is very hard, it is recommended to mix it with distilled water (50% tap water, 50% distilled water), which can be purchased at most stores.

Water That Cannot Be Used

Heat concentrates the substances in the water during evaporation. The following types of water may contain organic substances, minerals, or chemicals that could cause uneven steam emission, brown stains, or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, perfumed water, softened water, battery water, air conditioner water, rainwater, filtered boiled water, or bottled drinking water. Such water is not suitable for use in TEFAL irons. Distilled water can be used as mentioned above.

Always Remember

Do not use rainwater, water containing additives (starch, perfumes, softeners, etc.), or water formed by condensation (such as water from clothes dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, or rain). Types of water containing organic waste or mineral particles may cause sputtering, brown stains, and premature wear of the appliance.
