plate and the iron have cooled down.

•Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.

•Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

Do not use any descaling subs- tances (vinegar, industrial desca- ling products, etc.) when rinsing the anti-scale valve : they could da- mage it.

Before emptying your steam gene- rator, it must always be left to cool for 2 hours to avoid any risks of scalding.

Easy descaling of your steam generator:

To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing, your steam generator is equipped with a built-in scale collector. This valve, located in the tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.

Operation:

•An orange “anti-scale” light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you that the anti-scale valve needs rinsing - fig.9.

Important: This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generator has been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of the tank when it is opened.

•Once the steam generator has cooled down completely, remove the scale collector cover - fig. 10.

•Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale that has built up in the tank - fig.11 and fig.12.

•To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains - fig.13.

•Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.14.

•Refit the scale collector cover - fig. 15.

The next time you use your iron, press the “OK” button on the control panel to turn off the orange “anti-scale” light.

Storing your generator

•Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.

•Fold the carrying arm down onto the iron until it clicks into position, ensuring that your iron is safely locked onto its housing.

•Store the electrical cord in its storage place - fig.7.

•Store the steam cord in the cord storage clip - fig.8.

•Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour before storing it away.

The Tefal GV7096 series, comprising models GV7096C0, GV7096Z1, GV7096Z0, GV7096G0, and GV7096G1, represents a significant advancement in garment care technology, designed to enhance the ironing experience while providing efficient results. These steam generators are characterized by their powerful performance, user-centric features, and innovative technologies that make ironing not just easier but also more effective.

One of the standout features of the Tefal GV7096 series is the high steam output. With a continuous steam delivery that can reach up to 120g per minute, along with a steam boost of 350g, these models are capable of tackling even the most stubborn creases with ease. This powerful steam penetration ensures that fabrics are smoothed out from the inside, making it especially effective for thick materials and layers.

Another key characteristic of these steam generators is their ability to heat up quickly. With a fast heating time of just a couple of minutes, users can start ironing sooner without prolonged waiting times. The GV7096 models also incorporate an anti-calc system, which prevents limescale buildup, ensuring consistent steam performance over time and extending the lifespan of the appliance. The removable anti-scale cartridge allows for easy maintenance, making it user-friendly for households in areas with hard water.

The GV7096 series boasts a large water tank capacity, often exceeding 1.5 liters. This means that users can enjoy extended ironing sessions without frequent interruptions for refills. Moreover, the water tank is designed for easy filling and can be replenished during use, adding to the overall convenience of the ironing process.

Ergonomic features are also evident in the design of the steam generators. The lightweight iron reduces fatigue during prolonged use, and the steam cord is designed to provide flexibility, allowing for unrestricted movement. Safety is a significant focus for Tefal as well, with an automatic shut-off feature that activates when the iron is left unattended, giving peace of mind during use.

Lastly, the Tefal GV7096 series represents a blend of style and functionality, with a sleek design that fits seamlessly into any modern home. With its advanced technology and thoughtful features, the GV7096 series transforms the once tedious task of ironing into a more enjoyable and efficient experience. Whether tackling everyday garments or special fabrics, these steam generators prove to be a versatile choice for all ironing needs.
