Frequently Asked Questions - Slide Precision 3000 TSA2011 Teesa

How to fill the water tank?

Make sure the iron is unplugged. Set the steam slider to '0'. Open the lid and pour distilled water up to the max level (do not exceed). Close the lid. Never use perfumed or chemically demineralized water.

What to do if the iron does not produce steam?

Check the water level in the tank. If empty, set temperature to 0, fill, then wait for the iron to heat up. Make sure the steam function is activated and the temperature is sufficient (above 145°C).

How to use the vertical steam shot?

Set the temperature to MAX and wait for the indicator to turn off. Hold the iron vertically, near the hanging fabric, and press the steam shot button. Do not direct steam at people or animals.

What does the auto shut-off indicator mean?

The iron automatically turns off after 8 minutes in vertical position or 30 seconds in horizontal position without movement. A beep sounds and the indicator flashes. Move the iron to reactivate it.

How to clean the ceramic soleplate?

Unplug the iron and let it cool completely. Wipe the soleplate with a slightly damp soft cloth or a very mild (non-abrasive) liquid detergent. Never use chemicals, metal tools, or scouring pads.

What type of water to use?

Use only distilled water. Tap water may cause limescale. Never use perfumed, chemically demineralized water, or water containing additives (vinegar, descaler).

Why does smoke come out of the iron during first use?

This is normal. Manufacturing residues and soleplate protective products evaporate. Run the iron at maximum temperature on a damp cloth for a few minutes. Smoke and odor will disappear.

How to perform self-cleaning?

Unplug the iron. Fill the tank with distilled water to max. Plug back in, set temperature to max and disable steam. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink and press the self-cleaning button several times (shake slightly). Dirty water flows out of the soleplate. Once empty, unplug and let cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.

The iron leaks water from the soleplate, why?

This happens if the temperature is too low for the steam function. Wait for the iron to reach the required temperature (the indicator turns off). Avoid using too many steam shots in a row, as they lower the temperature. Use the steam function only at high temperatures.

Can I iron delicate fabrics like silk or wool?

Yes, but set the appropriate temperature. For silk, use a low temperature (105-145°C) without steam. For wool, use a medium temperature (145-175°C) with steam but iron on the reverse side with a dry cloth. Refer to the temperature chart in the manual.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove any sticker, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate if present and clean the base with a soft cloth.
2. Connect to power supply and heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a piece of damp cloth for several minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the soleplate (some particles may come out of the soleplate when you use the iron for the first time. This is normal; the particles are harmless and stop coming out of the iron after a short while).
3. When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke, peculiar odor and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics. This is quite normal and it stops after a short time (certain parts of the iron have been lightly greased; therefore the iron could give off a little smoke when plugged in for the first time. This will cease after a short while).

OPERATION

IRONING TIPS

• Check and follow the ironing instructions for the garment to be ironed.
• If the garment does not have any ironing instructions but you know the kind of fabric in question, use the chart provided in this manual.
• Fabrics that have some kind of finish (polishing, wrinkles, contrasts, etc.) can be ironed at the lowest temperatures.
• If the fabric contains several kinds of fibers, use the lowest temperature recommended for the fibers in the blend; if an article contains 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you must choose the temperature corresponding to polyester and iron without steam.
• Group the articles to be ironed, according to their ironing temperature: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Start by ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature (such as those made of synthetic fibers), and move towards those that require higher temperatures.
• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed on the inner side. Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one direction with light pressure applied.
  • Always keeps the iron moving at all times.
• Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the steam iron. Set temperature to the one designed for wool, select a high steam position and use a dry ironing cloth over the material. NOTE: When ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur, so it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron the reverse side.
• Please note, steam functions is not to be used in lowest temperature setting (dripping may occur).
  • Steam ironing eliminates odor and has bactericidal effect.

- Do not run it over metal objects (such as against the ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.), as it may damage iron's surface. Iron around any such object.
