Tefal SV8030E0 Express Anti-calc Steam Generator Iron

To avoid damaging the soleplate, follow this advice:
• Always place your iron on its heel rest or its base
(depending on model).
• Avoid ironing over abrasive items (buttons, zip fastenings,
etc.).
• Never clean your iron's soleplate with abrasive or metallic
pads.

No, it is normal to have noise and vibration when the steam is
activated. The use of steam triggers the functioning of an
electric pump.

Yes, this is quite normal. The self-cleaning operation causes
the electric pump to operate.

The temperature is set too low on your iron, it does not allow
you to have steam.

Choose a board that is height-adjustable to adjust it to your
height. It should be steady and robust so that you can place
the ironing appliance on it.The board should be perforated
to allow the steam to pass through the fibres of the fabric
to soften it and make ironing easier. The ironing board
cover should also be suitable to allow the flow of steam
through.

The steam is more or less significant depending on the
temperature setting of the iron. We advise you to use steam
occasionally when the temperature is set low on the iron,
otherwise drops of water could appear on your laundry.

Shiny marks can appear on some fabrics, especially on
dark coloured fabrics. We would advise ironing dark
clothes inside out and using the correct temperature.
If ironing mixed-fibre fabrics, set the temperature for the
most fragile fibre.
Important: The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat
up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed
at a low temperature.
