Preparation
What water to use?
• Your iron has been designed to work with untreated tap water. It is however necessary to clean the scale
collector regularly, eliminating all residues.
• 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. Do not use pure distilled nor pure demineralised water.
These types of water should not be used in your TEFAL iron.
Do not exceed the tank's
MAX marking.
Do not fill your iron directly
under the tap.
Do not remove the anti-calc
valve to fill the tank.
