TEFAL IS3380 Manual page 10

• Always hang the steam head in an upright position on the steam head hook when not in use.
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to
condensation. If the appliance begins to gurgle, rest the steam head on its support for a
few moments in order to direct back the condensation into the appliance. Maintain the
steam head vertically extending the hose at the same time.
• During use, some water drips may appear on the telescopic pole. This is also a normal
occurrence due to condensation.
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recommendations before
steaming. We also recommend testing the garment and effect on the garment on an
unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
• Button up the shirt's collar to prevent them slipping on the hanger during steaming.
• Gently press steamer brush into fabric while making slow passes.
• Avoid direct contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Some garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed for longer.
• If you have to use the steam head near the floor, raise the hose frequently to a vertical
position in order to avoid condensation. A gurgling noise may be heard if the flexible hose
is pinched.
• If no steam is produced, if a gurgling sound is heard or if water is dripping through the holes
of the steam head, raise the steam hose occasionally to remove condensation inside the hose.
