You have just purchased the first instant ironing kit ever invented.This is a new, ultra-  
compact iron concept which can be used anywhere, thanks to its insulating ironing mat  
and its compact iron stand.The "instant" iron is designed for short, everyday ironing  
sessions.  
Choosing dry or steam ironing  
• In order to avoid drips on the ironing :  
Turn off the steam by pressing the dry / steam control; use this position  
for ironing wool, silks and synthetics.  
• For other fabrics, leave the control (B) on the steam position.  
during steam ironing, there may be some condensation on the iron  
stand ; this will disappear when the iron is left to cool down on its stand.  
MINUTE  
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%  
untreated tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Using the mat  
• This ironing mat is extra-large, heat and steam resistant.  
It allows you to iron on any suitable flat surface without risk  
of scorching or dripping.  
Our advice  
Fabrics and ironing temperatures  
Your iron heats quickly: start with fabrics that can be ironed at low  
temperatures and work up to finish with those that require a high  
temperature.  
If you turn down the thermostat control, wait for the indicator light to  
come on before you start ironing again.

With its rectangular shape, the mat enables perfect ironing to  
be carried out on the corner of a suitable heat-resistant table.  
A
It may be creased after being stored in the box. Just  
iron it before beginning your session. Creases will disappear in a flash.  
To do some ironing, place your ironing mat on a suitable flat, stable, heat-resistant  
surface (A).

If you are ironing a fabric made of mixed fibres, set the ironing  
temperature for the most delicate fabric.  
Installing the iron stand  
• Position the iron stand, ideally on the corner of the mat (A).  
During any pause in ironing, always put your iron on its stand, never leave it on  
its soleplate on the mat.

3- CARE OFYOUR IRON  
FORYOUR SAFETY  
• SELF-CLEANING PROCEDURE  
To extend the working life of your iron, carry out the self-cleaning procedure  
once a month.  
- Leave the iron with the water, tank full, on its stand (thermostat set at maximum).  
- When the indicator light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it over a sink.  
- Remove the anti-scale valve.  
- Shake the iron gently, holding it horizontally, over the sink, until most of the water,  
(with the impurities) has run out through the soleplate.  
IMPORTANT! Unplug your iron and leave it to cool before cleaning it.  
• Read the instructions carefully before using your appliance for the first  
time:TEFAL cannot be held responsible for any use contrary to the ins-  
tructions.  
• CLEANING THE ANTI-SCALEVALVE  
(once a month) :  
- Unplug the iron and empty the tank.  
- To take out the anti-scale valve, switch to DRY.  
The valve can then be lifted out.  
• This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial  
use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the  
manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantie will not apply.  
• Important! The voltage of your electrical supply must match the rating  
of the iron (220-240V).Any connection error can cause irreparable  
damage to the iron which is not covered by the guarantee.  
• This iron must be plugged in to an earthed socket. If you use an exten-  
sion lead, ensure that it has a current rating of at least 10 Amperes and  
a correctly wired earth conductor.  
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by an  
Approved Service Centre in order to avoid any danger.  
• Never immerse the iron in water!  
• The appliance must be unplugged before filling or emptying the tank.  
• If it is dropped or falls to the floor, the iron should not be used.  
• If the iron is dropped, have it professionally checked before using it  
again: invisible damage may be dangerous.  
Use the grips on the side (G) to pull it out.  
- Re-insert the anti-scale insert.  
- Place the iron on its stand and plug in for 2 minutes to dry the soleplate.  
- Unplug the iron and, when the soleplate has cooled, wipe it with a soft cloth.  
G
NEVERTOUCHTHETIP OFTHEVALVE.  
Our advice : The self-cleaning procedure delays any scaling up of your iron.  
- Leave the valve to soak for 4 hours in a glass of white  
vinegar or natural lemon juice (H).  
- Rinse the valve under the tap.  
• CLEANINGTHE SOLEPLATE  
- While the soleplate is still slightly warm, clean it by wiping over it with a damp,  
non-metallic cloth.  
Re-insert the anti-scale valve, using slight pressure.  
• SOFT IRONING MAT  
- The mat can be cleaned by wiping over it with a damp sponge.  
- Note: the mat cannot be cleaned in a washing machine. Machine washing will damage  
it, making it unsuitable for ironing.  
- Do not dry clean.  
H
THE IRON WILL NOTWORK WITHOUTTHE ANTI-SCALEVALVE.  
• The soleplate of the iron can be very hot:  
- never touch it,  
- never leave the iron on its mat if the soleplate is still hot or warm,  
- always allow your iron to cool before putting it away,  
- never leave the iron unattended when plugged in or while the  
soleplate is still hot,  
- never leave your iron within the reach of children.
