Frequently Asked Questions - Ultimate Pure FV9834 TEFAL

What type of water should I use in my Tefal Ultimate Pure FV9834 iron?

Use tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water with 50% store-bought demineralized water. Never use water with added perfume, starch or other additives, nor condensation water (from dryer, refrigerator, air conditioner, rain).

Why does my iron produce brown stains on laundry?

Brown stains may come from using chemical descaling products or the wrong type of water. Perform a self-cleaning (Self Clean) and use only tap water or the recommended mixture. Do not pour any additives into the tank.

How to clean the soleplate of my iron?

Clean the soleplate after cooling with a soft damp cloth. Never use abrasive or metallic pads, as this would scratch the soleplate. For brown residues, you can use a little diluted white vinegar, then rinse with a damp cloth.

My iron produces little or no steam, what should I do?

This is often due to scale buildup. Clean the anti-scale rod if present and perform a self-cleaning cycle (Self Clean). Follow the instructions in the user manual to descale the appliance regularly.

Can I leave my iron plugged in unattended?

No, never leave the iron unattended while plugged in. Unplug it after each use and let it cool for about an hour before storing. The appliance is equipped with automatic shut-off, but caution is advised.

How to store my iron after use?

Unplug the iron and wait for it to cool completely (about 1 hour). Empty the water tank. Store it on its heel, never flat on the metal iron rest, to avoid damaging the soleplate. Keep the cord coiled without bending.

What to do if the soleplate is scratched or damaged?

If the soleplate is scratched, it may snag fabrics. Avoid placing the iron flat on a metal surface. Always use the heel. For light scratches, you can polish the soleplate with a special product, but if the damage is severe, contact an authorized service center.

My iron spits water from the soleplate, why?

This happens if you use the steam function when the iron is not hot enough. Wait for the temperature light to go off before activating the steam. Also check that you have not overfilled the tank.

How to descale my Tefal Ultimate Pure iron?

Use the self-cleaning function (Self Clean) as described in the user manual. Generally, fill the tank, set the temperature to maximum, then press the Self Clean button while holding the iron over a sink. Never pour chemical descaler into the tank.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by an authorized service center to avoid any danger. Do not use the appliance with a damaged cord. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
