What water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean
function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority), it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought distilled
or demineralised water in the following proportions :
- 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.The types of water listed below contain organic
waste or mineral 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 or air conditioners, pure distilled or
demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Tefal iron. Also do not to use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

Warning! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we
recommend that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away
from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.
During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may be
given off.
This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
