5. Operating Instructions

The Tefal Pure Tex steamer offers multiple functions for comprehensive fabric care.

General Steaming Technique:

Hang the garment on a hanger. Hold the steamer vertically and gently press the steam trigger. Move the steaming head slowly over the fabric, from top to bottom. For best results, gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand.

Functions:

1. Sanitise:

   The powerful steam kills 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and germs on textiles. Use the steamer directly on the fabric, ensuring thorough steam penetration for effective sanitisation. This is ideal for items like children's toys, upholstery, and bedding.

2. Remove Creases (De-wrinkle):

   For smooth, wrinkle-free garments, use the steamer with the velvet attachment. The steamer provides a continuous steam output of up to 30 g/minute. For stubborn creases or heavier textiles, activate the 3X Power boost for up to 90 g/min steam output.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tefal Pure Tex steamer.

• Empty Water Tank: After each use, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool. Empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent stagnant water and mineral buildup.
• Clean Attachments: The microfibre and velvet pads can be gently cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching or storing. The steam bonnet can also be rinsed.
• Descaling: The Tefal Pure Tex features an anti-calc system to minimize limescale buildup. To further prevent mineral deposits and ensure consistent steam, always use demineralized or distilled water. If you notice reduced steam output or mineral residue, consult the full product manual for specific descaling instructions, though regular use of demineralized water should largely prevent this.
• Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the water tank is empty and all attachments are clean and dry before storage.
