Frequently Asked Questions - Free Move FV9951 TEFAL

What water should I use in the Tefal Free Move FV9951 iron?

The iron is designed to work with tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% demineralized water. Never use water with additives (starch, perfume) or condensation water (from dryer, refrigerator, air conditioner, rain).

How to clean the anti-scale rod?

Unplug the base, empty the tank, set the thermostat to MAX, press the rod extraction button and pull it upward. Soak the rod for 4 hours in white vinegar or lemon juice, then rinse with tap water. Replace it until you hear a click.

What to do if brown streaks come out of the soleplate?

This may be due to the use of chemical descaling products or the wrong type of water. Do not put any descaling agent in the tank. Perform a Self Clean cycle and refer to the 'What water should I use?' section.

How to use the variable steam function?

Make sure the tank contains water. While ironing, press and hold the variable steam trigger located under the handle for at least 5 seconds to get a continuous flow. Release to stop.

What does the flashing red light accompanied by a beep mean?

The red light flashes after about 30 seconds if the iron is not on its base. It indicates the iron needs to be placed back on the base to recharge. Place the iron on the base until the green light becomes steady.

How to activate the Turbo function?

Set the thermostat control to 'MAX' or '•••'. Press the Turbo button (fig.12) occasionally for powerful steam. Can be used for vertical steaming.

The iron is not producing steam, what should I do?

Check the water level in the tank (fill if empty). Clean the anti-scale rod if dirty. Perform a Self Clean if the iron is scaled. Make sure the iron is properly placed on its base and that you are activating the steam trigger.

How to maintain the self-cleaning soleplate?

Use a soft, damp cloth on the still warm soleplate. Never use an abrasive or metallic pad to avoid damaging the coating. Always place the iron on its base to preserve the self-cleaning property.

What to do if water leaks from the soleplate holes?

This can happen if the iron was stored without being emptied and without setting the thermostat to MIN. Refer to the 'Storing your iron' section: empty the tank, set the thermostat to MIN, wait for cooling.

How to store the iron after use?

Set the thermostat control to 'MIN'. Unplug the base and empty the tank. Wait for the soleplate to cool down, then wrap the cord around the iron and its base. Carry the iron and base with both hands.

Before first use

- Please read these instructions carefully. Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating up the iron.

• Before using your iron's steam functions for the first time, we recommend that you activate the steam function in a horizontal position for a few moments away from your laundry. Switch the thermostat control to "MAX" or "●●●" and hold down the variable steam trigger. Under the same conditions, press the Turbo button several times.
• There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.

Preparation

Setting up

• Attach the EasyFix system onto the ironing board by turning the screw. It is normal that the small piece attached to the screw is mobile – fig.1.
• Click the base onto the EasyFix System – fig.2 and 3.
• Adjust the angle of the base on the board – fig.4. We recommend that the base is adjusted to a 45^ angle for greater comfort.

What water to use?

• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
• 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. These types of water should not be used in your iron. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised below.
• If your water is very hard, it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: 50% tap water, 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Filling the water tank

• Fill the tank up to the "MAX". Never fill the appliance by holding it directly under the tap. Do not remove the anti-scale valve to fill the water tank.
• Unplug the base from the socket.
• Place the iron on the base.
• Open the tank filling flap and fill the tank up to "MAX" – fig.5.
• Close the tank filling flap.

Using the appliance

Turning on

• Connect the base to a 220-240V socket— fig.6.
• Adjust the temperature – fig.7. Your iron has the Automatic steam function. Your iron automatically and accurately determines the exact temperature and steam flow that are suitable, in order to guarantee the best results.
• The flashing green light – fig.8 located on the display panel on the back of the base indicates that the iron is heating up. When the light stops flashing – fig.9, the iron is ready to use.
• Do not place the iron on its heel during the resting period, but on its base – fig.13.

Operation of the display panel

• Flashing green light: iron is heating up – fig.8.
• Fixed green light: iron is ready– fig.9.
• The flashing red light and beep sounds after around 30s when the iron is not on its base: the iron must be replaced on the base for recharging – fig.14.
• Flashing orange light (according to model): Auto-Off function activated (see the section "Auto-Off safety") – fig.16.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that are ironed at a low temperature and finish with those that require a higher temperature.
• If you lower the thermostat temperature, place the iron on its base and wait (around 10 minutes) until the temperature drops to avoid burning the fabric.
• If you are ironing a fabric with a mixture of fibres: adjust the ironing temperature to the most delicate fibre.

Steam / Dry Ironing

• Check if there is water in the tank before using the variable steam trigger or the TURBO and SPRAY functions.
• During your ironing session, hold down the trigger located under the handle (at least 5s at a time) to obtain a constant flow of steam and guarantee the best results— fig.10. When the trigger is released, the steam stops.

Using the TURBO and SPRAY function

• For the TURBO function, set the thermostat control to "MAX" or "●●●". Press the TURBO button from time to time – fig.12.
• When you dry or steam iron, press the SPRAY button several times to wet the fabric and remove resistant creases – fig.11.

Vertical steam ironing

• Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics. Every five pulses return the iron to a horizontal position.
• Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is wearing – fig.15.
• Set the thermostat control to “MAX”.
• Press the turbo button in pulses – fig.12 and move the iron from the top to the bottom – fig.15.

Additional functions

Gliss/Glide Protect autoclean - Autoclean Catalys soleplate (depending on model).

• Your iron is equipped with a catalytic self-cleaning soleplate.
• Its exclusive coating removes all impurities generated by normal use.
• It is recommended that you always rest your iron on its support base to preserve its self-cleaning coating.

Auto-Off safety (according to model)

• During normal use, the Auto-off light is off!
• The electronic system cuts the base power supply and the orange light located on the display panel flashes if the iron remains still for more than eight minutes on the base.
• To restart the iron, simply press the RÉSTART button on the display panel – fig.16.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)

- Be careful! Never touch the end of the rod. The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve.

- Disconnect the base and empty the tank – fig.17.

- To remove the anti-scale rod, set the thermostat at MAX, press the valve extraction button and pull gently upwards – fig.18.

- Let the rod soak for four hours in a glass of white vinegar or natural lemon juice – fig.19.

- Rinse the rod under tap water – fig.20.

- Reposition the anti-scale rod; push the valve until it clicks – fig.21.

Self-cleaning

- Self-cleaning delays scaling on the iron. To prolong the life of the iron, perform a self-clean once a month.

• Plug in the base and reconnect your iron.
• Allow the iron to heat up on the base, with the tank full and the thermostat set to maximum.
• When the green light on the display panel stops flashing, take the iron and place it over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve (see previous chapter).
• Hold down the variable steam button and shake the iron gently and in a horizontal position, over the sink, until some of the water (and the impurities) have drained through the soleplate.
• At the end of this operation, put the anti-scale valve back in place; push down until it clicks – fig.21.
• Place the iron back on the base to dry the soleplate.

Cleaning the soleplate

Your iron has a self-clean soleplate (according to the model):

- Warning! Use of an abrasive cloth will damage the self-cleaning coating on the soleplate.

- Its exclusive active coating eliminates all impurities that can be generated under normal conditions of use. - Ironing with an incorrect program can however leave traces that may require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the still warm soleplate so as not to damage the coating – fig.22.

Your steam iron is fitted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):

- Never use aggressive or abrasive products.

- When the soleplate is still warm, wipe with a damp cloth – fig.22.

• Set the thermostat control to "MIN". Disconnect the base and empty the tank – fig.23.
• Wait for the soleplate to cool – fig.24. Wind the cord around the iron and its base – fig.25.
• Carry the iron and the base with two hands – fig.26 and 27.

Environment protection first!
