Frequently Asked Questions - Ultraglide Pro FV4077 TEFAL

What water should I use with my Tefal Ultraglide Pro FV4077 iron?

Use tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water with 50% commercially available distilled water. Never use pure distilled water, nor water from a dryer, scented or softened water.

How to clean the soleplate of my iron?

Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth after cooling. Never use abrasive or metal pad. For brown residue, you can use a little diluted white vinegar.

What to do in case of brown stains on laundry?

This is often due to the use of chemical descaling products or unsuitable water. Perform a self-cleaning and check that you are using the correct type of water (see manual). Reduce the temperature if necessary.

My iron produces little steam, what should I do?

Your iron may have limescale. Clean the anti-calc rod and perform a self-cleaning as indicated in the user guide.

How to perform the self-cleaning (Self Clean)?

Fill the water tank, plug in the iron, set it to maximum temperature, wait for it to turn off, then unplug it. Hold the iron over a sink, press the Self Clean button and let the steam and limescale water flow out. Then rinse the tank.

The soleplate of my iron is scratched, what to do?

Scratches are often caused by contact with a metal iron rest or abrasive cleaning. Avoid placing the iron flat on a metal surface and always use the heel for resting. For light scratches, they do not affect performance.

Can I use only distilled water?

No. Pure distilled water contains organic waste that can cause spitting, brown stains, or damage the appliance. Always mix it with tap water (50/50 maximum).

Why does water leak from the soleplate holes?

This happens if you use steam when the iron is not hot enough. Wait for the temperature indicator light to turn off before activating steam.

What is the warranty on the soleplate?

The Durilium Airglide enamel-coated soleplate has a limited lifetime warranty (valid in the United States and Canada). It covers manufacturing defects, but not accidental damage or normal wear.

How to store my iron after use?

Unplug the iron, empty the water tank and let it cool completely (about 1 hour). Wrap the cord around the iron and store it in a dry and stable place.

1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron.
