Tefal Express Protect Steam Iron

Important Safety and Usage Information

Initial Use Warning: At the beginning of the first use, water droplets may form on the laundry. This phenomenon will disappear quickly.

Manual Thermostat Models: For models with a manual thermostat, avoid using the steam function at the lowest setting (marked as '1 point' or '1'). At this low temperature, the iron may not produce steam continuously. It is recommended not to use the steam function in this specific position.

Getting Started

Filling the Water Tank: Ensure the water tank is filled before operation.

Powering On/Off: Use the power button [Power On/Off] to turn the iron on and off.

Operating the Steam Iron

Temperature and Steam Modes: Select the appropriate mode for your fabric type:

• Eco Mode: For energy-efficient ironing.
• Normal Mode: For standard ironing needs.
• Max Mode / Steam Boost: Provides maximum steam output (e.g., '2s Max' or 'Steam Boost') for tackling stubborn creases and quick ironing.

Vertical Steam: The iron supports vertical steaming for refreshing hanging garments.

Fabric Settings: Adjust the iron's temperature based on fabric types such as wool, silk, and synthetics.

Key Features

• Anti-Calc System: This feature helps maintain the iron's performance by preventing limescale buildup.
• Auto-Off Function: For safety and energy saving, the iron automatically switches off after a period of inactivity. This typically occurs after 8 minutes when left upright or 30 seconds when placed horizontally on its soleplate.

Maintenance

Utilize the Anti-Calc system as instructed to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your steam iron.
