Vertical Steam Ironing; Dry Ironing; Maintenance And Cleaning - TEFAL Pro Express Instruction Booklet

Vertical steam ironing

Recommendations: for fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres from the garment
to avoid burning the fabric.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• As steam is very hot: never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath
the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom.
• To activate the vertical steam ironing mode press the button BOOST, this function is available only for 15 minutes of
use and will be automatically cut after.
• To exit the vertical steam ironing mode before 15 minutes, press the button BOOST.

Dry ironing

Refilling the tank during use
• When the red «Tank empty» light is flashing, there is no more steam. The water tank is empty.
1. First, switch-off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator) and fill it without
exceeding the MAX level.
3. Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click» then plug in the appliance and switch it on.
4. Press the «OK» button located on the control panel until the light goes out to continue ironing.

Steam Boost Function
• Your appliance includes the Steam boost: automatic sequential steam for effortless use. To be used in particular for
thick fabrics.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure your steam generator is unplugged (for at least two hours) and that the soleplate and
the iron have completely cooled down.
Cleaning your steam generator
• Do not use any type of cleaning or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
• Cleaning the soleplate: we recommend using a soft damp non-metallic cloth on the soleplate while it is still warm to
avoid damaging the coating.
• We recommend always standing your iron upright or on the iron rest to protect its coating.
• Clean the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing, your steam generator is equipped with a
built-in scale collector. This anti-calc collector, located in the boiler tank, automatically removes the scale that forms
inside.
• An orange «Anti-Calc collector» light located on the control panel starts flashing to tell you that the Anti-Calc collector
needs rinsing.
• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more than 2 hours. Important: This operation
must not be carried out unless the steam generator has been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down
completely. To carry out this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of the
tank when it is opened.
• Lift the tab and fully unscrew the anti-calc collector
