Tefal UltraGlide plus 1656 Iron Questions & Answers
My Tefal Steam generator needs de-scaling i have
you can download new instructions from the web. Remove the anticalc cover at the side and unscrew the metal nut, take care to ensure the little rubber seal is still inside the nut and not stuck to the opening. Plug one end of the hose into the iron ( it will fit without moving as it can only go in one way) connect the other end to the tap, turn on the tap and watch it flush out all the build up. leave it flushing for a few minutes then turn off the water. personally I then empty all the water from the base and then put the nut and cover back on fill up the tank and iron.
How do i rinse out,lack of steam
Steam irons get clogged from mineral deposits left from the steam. Try using a 50% mix of white vinegar and water to clean out the iron. Place the mixture in the iron and let it heat to steam. Do a second round with plain distilled water, and clean the iron bottom plate after. If this doesn't work, try a product such "Lime away" or "CRL" to dissolve the minerals.
Tefal steam iron not heating up properly
That is probably because the contacts to the element at the base of the iron are broken.
To disassemble you have to remove the casing, then remove the steam pump at front top of iron and then undo the safety screw mounted on the front of the base plate.
Iron causing electrical fuse to trip
I would almost definitely say yes. Have a friend or family member bring their iron over and try it. I can think of no other reason why it would trip a breaker. Let me know what happens.
Iron
thats probably from the minerals in the iron?
try using distilled water with a low content in minerals.
or try to make sure there is no water left (use the vapour function) before you store it for next time.
Thats my 2 cents. Hope it helps!
