Product Overview

Familiarize yourself with the components of your Tefal Ultragliss Plus Steam Iron.

The iron features a high-performance Durilium Airglide soleplate, ensuring excellent glide and scratch resistance. It provides up to 50 g/minute continuous steam output and a powerful 250 g/minute steam boost for stubborn creases.

Setup

Before First Use

1. Remove any stickers or protective covers from the soleplate.
2. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residues.
3. For the first use, iron an old piece of fabric to ensure any remaining residues are removed and to test steam function.

Filling the Water Tank

• Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
• Open the water filling inlet.
• Fill the water tank with tap water up to the "MAX" level indicator. Do not overfill.
• Close the water filling inlet securely.
• For optimal performance and to prolong the life of your iron, it is recommended to use tap water. If your tap water is very hard, mix it with an equal amount of distilled water. Do not use 100% distilled water or scented water.

Operating Instructions

Temperature and Steam Settings

1. Plug the iron into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Adjust the temperature dial according to the fabric type you are ironing. Refer to the garment's care label for recommended settings.
3. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, signaling that the iron has reached the selected temperature.
4. For steam ironing, ensure the temperature setting is within the steam zone (usually indicated on the dial).
5. To activate continuous steam, slide the steam control to the desired steam level.
6. For a powerful steam boost to remove stubborn creases, press the steam boost button.
7. The iron features an Eco mode, which reduces energy consumption by up to 20% while maintaining effective ironing performance. Activate this mode for environmentally friendly ironing.

Automatic Shut-off

For safety and energy saving, your Tefal FV 6810 Ultragliss Plus Steam Iron is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature. If left unattended in a horizontal position, the iron will turn off after a certain period. If left vertically, it will shut off after a longer period. To restart, simply move the iron.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Soleplate

• Always ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads, as these can damage the Durilium Airglide coating.
• If starch or other residues stick to the soleplate, use a specialized soleplate cleaning stick or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft cloth.

Anti-Calc System

Your iron is equipped with an integrated anti-calc system to reduce limescale build-up. To maintain its effectiveness, regularly perform the self-clean function (if available, otherwise general advice):

1. Fill the water tank to the MAX level.
2. Heat the iron to its maximum temperature setting.
3. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink.
4. Press and hold the self-clean button (if present) or shake the iron gently to allow water and steam to flush out mineral deposits from the steam holes.
5. Repeat if necessary.

Storage

• After use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Store the iron in an upright position to protect the soleplate.
