3.3 Adjusting the Smart Board

- Vertical Position: Ideal for quick touch-ups, steaming hanging garments like jackets, dresses, or curtains.
- Inclined Position (30°): Provides ergonomic support for steaming and light ironing of various textiles.
- Horizontal Position: Functions like a traditional ironing board for precise ironing of trousers, shirts, and larger fabrics.
To adjust the board, use the release mechanism (refer to the diagram in your quick start guide) and gently move the board to the desired position until it locks securely.

3.4 Steaming and Ironing Techniques
- Vertical Steaming: Hang the garment on the integrated hanger hook. Hold the iron head a few centimeters from the fabric and press the steam trigger. Move the iron head downwards over the garment.
- Horizontal Ironing: Place the garment flat on the Smart Board. Press the steam trigger and glide the iron head over the fabric. The ultra-light iron head (530g) makes this process comfortable.
- Steam Boost: For stubborn wrinkles, activate the steam boost function (up to 90 g/min) by pressing the steam trigger multiple times or holding it down, as indicated by your model's specific controls.
- Fabric Brush: Attach the fabric brush for better steam penetration on thicker fabrics or to remove lint.

4.1 Descaling
The Tefal IXEO+ QT1510GO features a built-in calc management system, meaning no manual descaling is needed. This system automatically handles mineral buildup, ensuring consistent steam performance and extending the appliance's lifespan.
4.2 Cleaning the Iron Head and Smart Board
- Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the soleplate of the iron head with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Clean the Smart Board surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
4.3 Emptying and Storing the Water Tank
After each use, it is recommended to empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent stagnant water buildup. Store the appliance in a dry, safe place. The collapsible poles allow for compact storage.
5. Troubleshooting
- No Steam Output:
- Check if the water tank is filled.
- Ensure the appliance is plugged in and powered on, and the indicator light is solid (not flashing).
- Verify that the steam hose is correctly connected to the iron head and base unit.
- Water Leakage:
- Ensure the water tank cap is securely closed and the tank is properly inserted into the base.
- Avoid tilting the iron head excessively during vertical steaming, which can cause condensation to drip.
- Poor Wrinkle Removal:
- Ensure the appliance has fully heated up.
- Use the steam boost function for more stubborn wrinkles.
- For very deep creases, consider using the horizontal ironing position with firm pressure.
- Appliance Not Turning On:
- Check the power cord connection to both the appliance and the wall outlet.
- Test the outlet with another appliance to ensure it is functioning.
