Always unplug your appliance: � before filling the water tank or rinsing the boiler, � before cleaning the appliance, � after each use. � The appliance will not work without the limescale collector (depending on model). � The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat and water resistant surface. When you place the iron on the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable. � This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced or impaired physical, sensory or mental capabilities or persons lacking appropriate knowledge or experience, unless a person responsible for their safety provides either supervision or appropriate instructions concerning use of the appliance prior to its use. � Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. � This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and persons lacking appropriate knowledge or experience
5

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years of age when it is energized or cooling down. � The surfaces which are marked with this sign, the
soleplate and steam cord are very hot during the use of the appliance. Do not touch these surfaces before the appliance has completely cooled down. � Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Before storing the appliance, once it is unplugged, please wait until it has cooled down (around 1 hour). � Do not use any descaling products (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.) to rinse the boiler: they may damage the appliance. � Before rinsing the boiler/rinsing the anti scale collector (depending on model), always make sure that the appliance is completely cooled down and has been unplugged for at least 2 hours before unscrewing the boiler rinse cap/or anti scale collector. � Warning: if the boiler cap or the boiler rinse cap (depending on the model), is dropped or severely knocked, have it replaced by an Approved Service Centre, as it may be damaged. � Never fill the appliance directly from the tap. � The filling, or descaling, or rinsing, or inspection apertures
6

that are under pressure, must not be opened during use. � The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, if it has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions abnormally in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle your appliance: have it examined at an Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger. � Check the electrical power cord and steam cords for signs of wear or damage prior to use. If the electrical power cord or the steam cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service Center to avoid any danger.
� Accessories, consumables and end user replaceable parts must be only purchased from an Approved Service Centre.
� For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environment, etc).
� Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for domestic use only.
� It is equipped with 2 safety systems: � a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event
of malfunction, the valve releases excess steam. � a thermal fuse to avoid overheating. � Always plug your steam generator iron: � into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V (Alternating
current only), � a socket outlet with an earth connection. Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee. � Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in good condition, has a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance. � Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket outlet.
7

� The soleplate of your iron, the steam cord, and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
� Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting sideways.
� Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals. Never iron clothing on a person, always use a hanger. Never iron in a seated position with your legs under the iron board.
� Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.
What water to use? 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 hardware stores.
� 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. Always remember: Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic appliances). Such additives can affect the steam properties and at high temperature, form deposits in the steam generator chamber which are likely to stain your washing and lead to premature aging of the appliance.
