FAQs

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron and open the water tank inlet. Fill the tank with clean water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill.

How often should I clean the anti-scale collector?

Clean the anti-scale collector regularly, ideally after every few uses, or when the indicator signals it's time.

Can I use tap water?

While the iron has an anti-scale system, using distilled or softened water is recommended to prolong its lifespan and prevent mineral buildup. Check your local water hardness.

What should I do if the iron is sticking to my clothes?

Make sure the temperature setting is appropriate for the fabric type. Clean the soleplate to remove any residue. Use a pressing cloth for delicate fabrics.

How do I use the vertical steaming feature?

Hang the garment. Hold the iron vertically, a few inches away from the fabric, and press the steam button. Move the iron up and down to remove wrinkles.

What is the automatic shut-off feature?

The automatic shut-off feature turns off the iron if it is left unattended for a certain period, providing added safety.

What is the warranty?

Please refer to the product documentation or contact Tefal customer support for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Iron not heating up

Check the power connection and ensure the iron is plugged in correctly. Verify the outlet is working. Check the temperature setting.

Steam not working

Make sure the water tank is filled. Ensure the iron has reached the set temperature. Check for any blockages in the steam vents.

Limescale buildup

Clean the anti-scale collector regularly. Use the self-cleaning function if available. Use distilled water if you have hard water.

Iron leaking water

Ensure the temperature setting is appropriate for steam production. Do not overfill the water tank.
