Tefal Care for You YT3040 Automatic Garment Care System – 3100W

Introducing Care for You: Tefal’s first all-in-one automatic garment care system. In no time at all, this revolutionary new product smooths, refreshes and dries your clothes, all using the natural power of steam. It’s perfect for freshening up business suits or other hard-to-wash items. That’ll save on dry-cleaning! It’s quiet, too, running at a decibel level well below everyday conversation. And, unlike other clothing care systems available, Care for You features four wheels and a nifty, space-saving retractable design, allowing for easy and discreet storage anywhere in your home. Simply hang up to three items of clothing inside, choose ‘steam’ on the intuitive remote control and, in as little as 10 minutes (just enough time to take a shower), you’ll have crease-free clothes. It’s that easy. Got a bit more time? Leave clothes in for up to 30 minutes to tackle tougher creases. Meanwhile, the 40-minute ‘sanitise’ cycle is great for freshening up any outfit after a day’s wear. The natural power of steam kills 99.99% of viruses, bacteria, and germs* while banishing lingering odours, all without chemicals. No need to risk fragile fabrics in the dryer: just hang them up, select ‘dry’ and allow a flow of cool air to dry them gently, avoiding any damage. It’s quick, drying clothes 5 times faster†, and safe for all kinds of home textiles – from cashmere to cuddly toys. Clever Blue Technology maintains the perfect temperature and humidity level, ensuring great results every time. Care for You will even tell you when your clothes are ready and turn itself off when it’s done. *External laboratory test on cotton, 40-minute sanitise cycle †Compared to natural drying in ambient temperature

*External laboratory test on cotton, purification mode - 40 min.

Frequent questions
• Untreated tap water:
Your appliance has been designed to use untreated tap water.
If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water.

• Types of water not to use:
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance:
- water from clothes dryers
- scented or softened water
- water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners
- rain water
- boiled, filtered or bottled water

In order to ensure the best performance from your iron, these types of water should not be used for ironing.
To change the programme, use the remote control and click on one of the 3 central buttons. For example, if you want to activate the Dry mode, click on the Dry button and click on the start/stop button to start the programme.
To put the garments into the Care For You appliance, use the built-in clips. Press firmly on the top of the clips to open them and insert the garment you want.

It is preferable to install the appliance in a room with a free space of 20 cm around it.
Do not install it in a bathroom or damp room.

  • Steam mode (1)
    You can adjust the dewrinkling time in 5 minute increments. The longer the cycle, the more your garment will be dewrinkled.
    • 10 min: light and fast dewrinkling.
    • 20 min: optimal dewrinkling on most garments.
    • 30 minutes: for very difficult garments to dewrinkle.
    The use of the straightening clips is recommended for a better dewrinkling result, except for garments that are likely to deform easily (e.g. large knit jumpers, viscose, thin t-shirts, etc.).

  • Sanitize mode (2)
    • 20 min: fast purification. Reduces odours.
    • 40 min: deep purification. Effectively removes impregnated odours, bacteria and germs.
    The use of the straightening clips is not necessary in purification mode.
