Steam Ironing - T-Fal 1816 Instrucciones De Uso

THE WATER TO USE IN YOUR IRON
Your iron has been designed to be used with tap water. However, the self-cleaning fea-
ture has to be used regularly to eliminate any mineral build-up in the steam chamber. If
your water is very hard (check with your local environmental services or water company),
you can use a mix of half tap water and half demineralized water.
TYPES OF WATER TO BE AVOIDED
Heat concentrates the elements contained in the water when it evaporates. The types of
water indicated below contain organic or mineral elements which may eventually cause
spitting, brown stains or wear your iron out prematurely: pure demineralised water, water
from clothes driers, perfumed water, softened water, water from refrigerators, battery
water, water from air conditioners, distilled water or rain water.
A. STEAM IRONING
1. Fill the tank
1- Place the steam control on DRY (
2- Open the flap of the reservoir, place the iron on a table, as shown
in the diagram below, and then fill it.
Be careful!
You should not fill the tank beyond the MAX level.
2. Setting the temperature and steam level
Place the thermostat control on the type of fabric to be ironed.
The light comes on. Wait for the light to go off and come again before you start ironing.
The first time the appliance is used, there may be fumes and smell but this is
not harmful, will not affect use and will disappear rapidly.
We recommend that you:
• Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•) and finish with those
which respond best to higher temperatures (••• or MAX)
• If you lower the thermostat, wait until the light comes on again before ironing.
• If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres: set the temperature for the most
fragile fibre.
Be careful! Your iron will only produce steam when the thermostat control is in the
coloured zone.
