Frequently Asked Questions - TexStyle 7 DELONGHI

How to fill the water tank of the DeLonghi TexStyle 7 iron?

Unplug the appliance. Open the tank cap located at the front. Use the provided measuring cup to pour tap water or demineralized water. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 300 ml. Close the cap.

How to use the vertical steam function?

Vertical steam is ideal for hanging garments. Fill the tank, set the temperature to the appropriate setting (e.g., wool or cotton). Hold the iron vertically, press the steam boost button and move over the fabric without touching it.

What to do if the iron does not produce steam?

Check that the tank is filled. Ensure the thermostat is set to a high enough temperature (steam requires at least the steam zone). If the problem persists, use the self-cleaning function to remove limescale deposits.

How to descale the DeLonghi TexStyle 7 iron?

Activate the self-cleaning function: fill the tank halfway, set the thermostat to maximum, unplug after heating, then press the self-cleaning button while holding the iron over the sink. Gently shake. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

The iron turns off by itself, is this normal?

Yes, the auto shut-off is a safety feature. If the iron remains stationary for more than 30 seconds horizontally or 8 minutes vertically, it turns off. To turn it back on, shake it gently or press the steam button.

What soleplate does the TexStyle 7 use?

The iron is equipped with a ceramic soleplate, which glides easily on all fabrics and resists scratches. Clean it with a soft cloth after cooling.

Can I use scented water or demineralized water?

It is recommended to use tap water. Demineralized water can be used, but avoid scented water or water containing additives, as they can clog the steam circuit and void the warranty.

How to store the iron cord?

The iron has an automatic cord rewinder. After use and cooling, unplug it, then press the storage button to reel the cord under the handle.

What to do if the soleplate sticks or burns the fabric?

Set the appropriate temperature for the fabric (check the label). If the soleplate sticks, clean it with a cloth soaked in diluted white vinegar. In case of burning, the iron may be too hot or have deposits; use the self-cleaning function.

Where to find spare parts for the TexStyle 7?

Spare parts (water tank, soleplate, anti-calc cartridge) are available from DeLonghi after-sales service or on approved sites. Contact support via www.delonghi.com.

B Before starting off

This iron is designed for tap water. If you have extremely hard water, we recommend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 % distilled water. Fill the water tank to «max» marking. Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.

• Before filling with water, turn off the steam regulator (6) ( 0 = steam off ).
• Holding the iron slightly inclined (as shown in B), fi ll the water tank up to the «max» marking.
• Place the iron upright on its heel rest and connect it to the mains.

Select the temperature according to the ironing guide on the heel rest of the iron or on the label in your garments.

The pilot light (8) goes off when the desired temperature is reached (after approx. 1 1/2 min.).

C Ironing

Vario steam

You can select the steam quantity by turning the steam regulator (6) in a range from «0» to «6».

The temperature selector (7) has to be set within the red range.

We recommend a medium steam setting for all normal ironing. Only when ironing linen, thick cotton or similar fabrics we recommend the maximum steam setting.

Notice: While ironing, do not turn the steam regulator beyond setting «6».

Vario plus steam

For extra steam, press the steam regulator (6) for max. 30 seconds.

The temperature selector (7) has to be set within the solid red range.

Precision shot

Prior to use, press the precision shot button (4) 3 to 4 times to activate it.

Press the precision shot button in intervals of at least 5 seconds for a powerful steam shot with preconditioning steam.

Precision shot can be activated when dry ironing. However, the temperature selector has to be within the solid red range.

The precision shot function can also be used in the vertical position for steaming hanging clothes.

Caution: Hot steam comes out from the preconditioning nozzles.

Spray function

Press the spray button (5).

Dry ironing

Set the steam regulator (6) on position «0» (= steam off).

D Automatic shut-off

(780 and 770 models only)

The «auto-off» mechanism causes a slight rattling noise during ironing. This is normal and in no case indicates a fault of the iron. The red «auto-off» light (9) will fl ash when the automatic shut-off is activated.

This happens when the iron has rested

– horizontally on its sole plate for about 30 seconds or

- vertically on its heel rest for about 8 minutes.

To turn on the iron again, just move it. When the «auto-off» pilot light stops fl ashing, the electrical power is on again. The automatic shut-off will be activated approximately 2 minutes after the iron is plugged into a socket.

E Textile Protectors

Textile Protector (11) (only with 780, 770 and 760 models)

The Textile Protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage so that you can iron most fabrics without an intermediate cloth. A special coating avoids shiny patches.

With the Textile Protector, you are able to iron delicate fabrics with the temperature setting within the solid red range so that you can use all steam functions your iron offers.

To check the reaction of your fabrics before you start ironing, we recommend that you iron a small section of material on the reverse side. However, in order not to damage the coating, avoid ironing over e.g. zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass with the Textile Protector attached.

After having attached the Textile Protector, wait about 1 1/2 minutes before you start ironing.

Soft Textile Protector (12) (only with 780 model)

The Soft Textile Protector ensures an increased heat protection and utmost care for most delicate fabrics thanks to its specially designed SoftTouch cushion. Even most delicate, ironable* fabrics are protected against heat damage and shiny patches are avoided.

With the Soft Textile Protector attached, you can iron all ironable fabrics without an intermediate cloth. The Soft Textile Protector is perfectly suited for touching up e.g. creases of delicate business suits without having to use an ironing cloth.

With the Soft Textile Protector, you are able to iron delicate fabrics with the temperature setting within the solid red range so that you can use all steam functions your iron offers.

However, in order not to damage the SoftTouch cushion, avoid ironing over e.g. zippers, metal buttons/rivets or strass with the Soft Textile Protector attached.

(* in order to know whether a piece of garment is ironable, please refer to its care label.)

F After ironing

Unplug the iron and turn the steam regulator to position «0». To prolong the life of the iron, empty the water tank. Store the cool iron in a dry place always standing on its heel rest.

G Maintenance and cleaning

To clean the sole plate, use steel wool. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals. To clean the soft material on the handle, use soapy water.

H Cleaning the anticalc valve

The anticalc valve located on the lower end of the steam regulator has to be decalcifi ed regularly (e.g. whenever steam development is insufficient). For this, the water tank has to be empty.

Removing the steam regulator with the anticalc valve

Turn the steam regulator clockwise towards the steam setting «6». Keep on turning firmly beyond the resistance until the steam regulator is lifted. When positioned at ●, pull it out vertically. Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar (not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for a minimum of 30 minutes. Brush off remaining residues and rinse under running water (fi g. H, 1-7).

Re-inserting the steam regulator When re-inserting the steam regulator, make sure the steam regulator base still points on setting ● (fig. H, 8). Firmly push down the steam regulator until it turns back to setting «6» (fi g. H) where it catches.

Notice: The iron must never be used without steam regulator.

I Decalcifying/anticalc system

In order to clean the steam chamber from residues, decalcify it as shown in picture section I, 1-8.

Caution: Hot water and steam will come out from the sole plate when the steam regulator is turned clockwise beyond setting «6».

Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then clean it as described above. Then refi ll the tank with water, heat up the iron and press the precision shot button 4 times to rinse the iron before ironing (fi g. I, 9-13).

Do not use commercial decalcifi ers, they may damage the iron.
