1.3 Filling the Water Tank

• Open the tank cap and fill with clean tap water. For optimal performance and to prevent mineral buildup, distilled or demineralized water is recommended, especially in hard water areas.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Close the tank cap securely and place the water tank back into the base unit.

1.4 Power Connection

• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the appliance (230 Volts).

2. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe garment steaming.

2.1 Powering On and Heating

• Press the power button on the base unit. The indicator light will illuminate.
• Allow the unit to heat up. This typically takes a few minutes. The indicator light will change or stop flashing when ready for use.

2.2 Steaming Garments

• Hang the garment on a hanger or place it flat on the Smart Board. The Smart Board can be adjusted to various angles for convenience, including a horizontal position for traditional ironing.
• Hold the steam head close to the fabric, ensuring not to touch delicate materials directly unless specified.
• Press the steam trigger on the handle to release steam. Move the steam head slowly over the fabric, from top to bottom, to remove wrinkles.
• For stubborn wrinkles, use the fabric brush attachment (if included) to gently brush the fabric while steaming.

2.3 Safety Precautions

• Do not touch the steam head or hot surfaces during or immediately after use.
• Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use, before filling or emptying the water tank, and before cleaning.
• Keep out of reach of children.

3. Maintenance and Care

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

3.1 Emptying and Cleaning the Water Tank

• After each use, or when storing the unit, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool completely.
• Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
• Rinse the tank with clean water and allow it to air dry before reattaching or storing.

3.2 Descaling (Mineral Buildup Removal)

Depending on water hardness, mineral deposits may accumulate over time, affecting steam performance. Descale your unit regularly (e.g., every 1-3 months) or when you notice reduced steam output.

1. Unplug the steamer and ensure it is cool.
2. Prepare a descaling solution as recommended by Tefal (refer to specific descaling instructions in a separate leaflet if provided, or use a mixture of white vinegar and water).
3. Pour the descaling solution into the water tank.
4. Run the steamer until the tank is empty, ensuring steam is released. Do this in a well-ventilated area.
5. Rinse the tank thoroughly and run 2-3 tanks of clean water through the steamer to flush out any remaining descaling solution.

3.3 Cleaning the Steam Head

• Ensure the steam head is cool.
• Wipe the steam head plate with a soft, damp cloth to remove any fabric residue or lint.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

3.4 Storage

• Ensure the unit is completely cool and dry before storing.
• Empty the water tank.
