My travel iron will not switch to steam F46A - Irons

If the switch isn't obvious it could be it doesn't have one and is supposed to steam continuously. The last iron my wife bought is like that. When she fills the tank and plugs it in it will steam for a matter of seconds and then stop. It begins to steam again as soon as she starts to use it.

Yes the iron needs to be cleaned. They do have a descaler to clean. the Steam valve with a electronic switch is broken, that is what opens and lets the steam out of the iron when you press the button.
Google Rowenta repair Centers.

ensure your iron steam button is not set into perminent steam function. leaving the iron with the point of the iron pointing upwards should reduce steam to the handle. also the iron may need to be descaled to ensure any steam switch funtion is not stuck in an on position.

Hello -

You can find and download the user manual for the Tefal Latitude 30 travel iron from this Tefal web page:
https://www.tefal.com/instructions-for-use/Products/Linen-Care/Dry-iron-and-Travel-iron/csc/DryIronAndTravelIron

Scroll down on that web page to near the bottom. There you should see a heading for Travel Iron and an icon and link for Latitude. Click or tap on the Latitude link.

That will bring you to the Tefal web page for Tefal LATITUDE User Manuals:
https://www.tefal.com/instructions-for-use/Products/Linen-Care/Dry-iron-and-Travel-iron/Travel-iron/LATITUDE/csp/2800000013

On that web page in the section headed Instructions and Manual (with an icon for Warranty Information) you should see a search box with a drop down menu and the direction "Choose a language for displaying the instructions and user manuals:" Click or tap on the downward pointing arrow on the right end of the search box and choose the language you want for the manual.

A Download Manual icon will appear. Click or tap on it.

Then, you will see the PDF document for the user manual. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) software.

The first illustration of the iron you should see in the manual indicated where the Water Tank Filler cap is located near the tip of the iron handle. The water tank is within the handle.

Best wishes.

I have the same issue. The steam on/off switch fell into its cavity and does not work. Looks like the plastic housing on the top of the iron can be removed, does anyone know how?

It appears that your rocker switch is broken, I am attempting to find a source for the switch and the screw driver that removes the screws holding the unit together

check the little tube that regulates the water to the holes it needs to be changed.good luck.
