Important Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
- Always ensure the voltage of your electrical outlet corresponds to the voltage indicated on the iron.
- Do not leave the iron unattended while it is connected to the power supply or while it is hot.
- Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children.
- Never immerse the iron, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
- Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before filling with water, emptying, or cleaning, and after each use.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
- Use the iron only for its intended purpose, which is ironing garments.
- The iron must be used and rested on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Setup and First Use
Unpacking
Carefully remove the iron from its packaging. Remove any stickers or protective covers from the soleplate.
Filling the Water Tank
- Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Open the water filling inlet.
- Fill the water tank with clean tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
- Close the water filling inlet securely.
First Use Preparation
Before ironing clothes for the first time, it is recommended to iron an old piece of fabric for a few minutes to remove any manufacturing residues from the soleplate. This may produce a slight odor or smoke, which is normal and will dissipate quickly.
Operating Instructions
Connecting to Power and Temperature Setting
- Place the iron on its heel rest on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting based on the fabric type. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating up.
- Wait for the indicator light to turn off, signifying that the iron has reached the selected temperature.
Steam Ironing
The Tefal Ultimate Pure FV9847E0 features automatic steam control, adjusting steam output based on the selected temperature.

- Continuous Steam: For continuous steam, ensure the temperature dial is set to a steam-compatible setting (usually indicated by a steam symbol). The iron will automatically deliver up to 60 g/min of continuous steam.
- Steam Boost: For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button. This delivers a powerful burst of steam up to 260 g/min. Wait a few seconds between bursts.
- Vertical Steaming: Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the garment. Press the steam boost button to remove creases from hanging clothes, curtains, or delicate fabrics.
- Anti-Drip System: This system prevents water from dripping onto your fabrics when ironing at low temperatures.
Dry Ironing
To iron without steam, set the temperature control dial to a dry ironing setting (usually indicated by a 'no steam' symbol) or to a low temperature. Ensure the water tank is empty for optimal dry ironing.
Automatic Shut-off
For safety and energy saving, your iron is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature. If left motionless on its heel rest, it will turn off after approximately 8 minutes. If left flat on its soleplate or on its side, it will turn off after approximately 30 seconds. The indicator light will flash when the iron is in automatic shut-off mode. To restart, simply move the iron.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your iron.
After Each Use
- Unplug the iron and allow it to cool down completely.
- Empty any remaining water from the tank.
Anti-Calc System (Micro Calc Filter)
The integrated Micro Calc Filter collects scale particles to maintain steam performance. Refer to the full product manual for specific instructions on how to clean or replace this filter. Regular cleaning of the anti-calc system is crucial for preventing scale buildup.
Cleaning the Soleplate
- Once the iron is cool, wipe the Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate.
Storage
Once the iron has cooled down completely and the water tank is empty, store it vertically on its heel rest in a safe, dry place. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the soleplate.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your iron, consult the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Iron does not heat up. | Not plugged in; power outage; automatic shut-off activated. | Check power connection; verify power supply; move the iron to reactivate. |
| No steam or insufficient steam. | Water tank empty; temperature too low for steam; scale buildup. | Fill water tank; set temperature to steam-compatible setting; clean anti-calc filter. |
| Water drips from the soleplate. | Temperature too low for steam; water tank overfilled. | Increase temperature; do not overfill water tank. |
| White flakes or particles on clothes. | Scale buildup in the iron. | Clean the anti-calc filter and perform a self-cleaning cycle if available. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Tefal customer support.
