Tefal Express Steam Iron - 2600W - Ceramic Soleplate - 160g Steam Boost - Blue

Yes, you can use tap water. However, if you live in a hard water area, it is recommended to mix tap water with demineralized or distilled water (50/50 ratio) to prolong the life of your iron and maintain optimal performance.

Press the steam boost button firmly when the iron is heated to the correct temperature. Refer to your user manual for the exact location of the button and any specific usage guidelines.

The ceramic soleplate offers excellent durability and a smooth glide over all types of fabrics. It helps prevent sticking and ensures an even distribution of heat for effortless ironing.

The frequency of descaling depends on your water hardness and how often you use the iron. For hard water areas, descaling once a month is generally recommended. For soft water areas, every 2-3 months may suffice. Always follow the specific instructions in your user manual.

The anti-drip feature prevents water from leaking out of the soleplate when the iron is used at low temperatures, thereby avoiding water stains on your garments.

Open the water tank cap, fill the tank to the maximum line indicated using a water jug or directly from the tap, and then close the cap securely. Always ensure the iron is unplugged and cool before filling.

Ensure the iron is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the temperature control dial is set to a suitable heat setting. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Verify that the water tank is filled. Ensure the steam control is set to the desired steam level (not 'dry iron' mode). Allow the iron sufficient time to heat up to the selected temperature. Check if the anti-calc or self-clean function needs to be activated as per the manual.

Make sure the iron has reached the correct operating temperature for steam function. If ironing at a low temperature, switch to 'dry iron' mode or empty the water tank. Ensure the water tank is not overfilled and the anti-drip system is functioning correctly. Empty and refill the water tank if water has been standing for a long time.

Perform the descaling process as outlined in the product's user manual. Regular descaling is crucial, especially in hard water areas, to prevent mineral buildup and maintain performance.

Ensure the anti-drip feature is active (if applicable at the selected temperature). Clean the soleplate to remove any residue. Check that the temperature setting is appropriate for the fabric type. Avoid overfilling the water tank.
