Vertical Steam Ironing; Dry Ironing; Maintenance And Cleaning - TEFAL PRO EXPRESS TOTAL X-PERT CONTROL Manual

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.
Power Zone Function
• Your appliance includes the Power Zone button: concentrated steam shot at the tip of the soleplate, to be used in
particular to target stubborn creases, detailing and zones that are difficult to access.
• To use this function, press the Power Zone button on top of the iron as often as necessary
AQUABOOST VAPORIZER button (pressurised cold water spray)
• Your steam iron is equipped with a new unique function : a pressurised water atomizing system, in ultra-small droplets
to eliminate creases up to three times more effectively than steam.
• This enables the laundry to be re-moistured and creases to be effectively eliminated.
• In order to optimise its efficiency, press briefly on the Aquaboost Vaporizer button (located either side of the Power
Zone button) but avoid pressing on it repeatedly in order not to dampen the clothing too much.
• Creases are effectively eliminated by aiming the spray in the direction of the crease.
• It is also recommended to descale the cap of this vaporizer every month when the iron is cold. In order to do this,
unscrew it accordingly
minutes. Rinse the cap under the tap and screw back onto the iron

Dry ironing

• Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
Refilling the tank during use
• When the red «Tank empty» light is flashing
1. Remove the detachable water tank using the handle (located at the front of the steam generator) and fill it without
exceeding the MAX level.
2. Push it back into its housing until you hear a «click».
3. Press the «OK» button located on the control panel until the light goes out to continue ironing.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your steam generator
Your steam iron is fitted with a Gliss/Glide Protect
• Its exclusive active coating allows it to eliminate any impurities that may be regularly
generated during normal conditions of use.
• Ironing with an unsuitable programme could nonetheless leave traces that require manual
cleaning. In this case, we recommend using a soft damp cloth on the soleplate while it is still
warm to avoid damaging the coating.
• Do not use any type of cleaning or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.
• We recommend always standing your iron upright or on the iron rest to protect its coating.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
• Clean the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
Do not use any descaling
substances (industrial
descaling products, etc.)
when rinsing the anti-
scale collector:
they could damage it.
Before emptying your
steam generator, it must
always be left to cool for
2 hours to avoid any risks
of scalding.
• 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
on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top

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 collector, located in the tank,
automatically removes the scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange "anti-scale» light located on the control panel starts flashing to tell you that the
anti-scale collector needs rinsing
