How do I dis-assemble a Tefal Virtuose model 2720 steam iron?
It keeps blowing a fuse . I have removed the backplate, which was held in place by a tork screw, but clearly there is something else still holding it together, What is it? and how do I remove it?
I found that the live terminal had rusted through, so I cut it back and reconnected.

There is a second Torx screw under the 2 steam jet buttons and just in front of these is the steam control valve that also needs to be removed (push it down and towards the 2 steam buttons)
To remove the Steam buttons use a small blunt screwdriver and ease the thin end in to release the capture hook that holds them in place
After this you can remove the top section of the handle to get at the last (of 3) screw that hold the handle on to the tank and plate ... good luck

Same here.... sparks with a bang. Never new ironing could be so exiting.
I've bought a new iron now but a fix for old sparky would be good.
