Frequently asked questions about Tefal
- How does a steam system differ from an iron?
- The system has a separate tank producing pressurised steam continuously and in greater volume. It irons considerably faster, particularly through large loads.
- How does OptiGrill work?
- A sensor measures the meat thickness and automatically sets time and temperature, with an indicator for how well done you want it.
- Does it need descaling?
- Yes, steam systems require regular descaling — otherwise the system clogs. The appliance usually prompts you.
- Does the non-stick coating last?
- Yes, provided you avoid metal utensils and scraping. Check the instructions on each product.
