Tefal Turbo Pro User Manual

Important

When the appliance is used for the first time, a harmless odour and smoke may
be given off. This has no effect on the use of the appliance and will disappear
quickly.

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 several times on the Burst of Steam button .

The water to use in your iron

Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water. However, if your water is
very hard, mix it 50% tap water with 50% distilled water.

Types of water to be avoided

Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank, and do not use pure
demineralised water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water , water
from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled water or rainwater.
These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when
heated and cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to your iron. Never
use additives (perfumed water, starch, perfumed oils…)

2. Place the Steam Control (G) on.
The production of steam automatically adjusts
to the temperature selected.

The supply of water is cut off automatically to avoid any drips from the
soleplate when the temperature of the iron is too low to produce steam.

ANTI-DRIP FUNCTION

1. Place the thermostat control
(

H

) to match the type of fabric
to be ironed.
The light comes on (

). Wait
for the light to go off and come
on again before you start
ironing

Our advice

Start with the fabrics to be ironed on a low temperature (•) and finish with those
which respond best to higher temperatures (••• or MAX)
If you iron a fabric made of a blend of fibres: set the temperature for the most
delicate fibre.
