Safety Instructions

• Always ensure the voltage indicated on the iron's rating plate corresponds to your mains voltage.
• Do not leave the iron unattended when it is connected to the mains supply.
• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children when it is switched on or cooling down.
• Never immerse the iron, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Unplug the iron before filling with water, cleaning, or after each use.
• Do not operate the iron if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage, or if it is leaking.
• Use the iron only for its intended purpose, which is ironing clothes.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect the iron for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport if needed.

2. Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Open the water tank inlet cover, usually located at the front of the handle.
3. Fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. For optimal performance and to prolong the life of your iron, it is recommended to use demineralized or distilled water, especially in areas with hard water.
4. Close the water tank inlet cover securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On 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. The iron will begin to heat up.
• The Tefal Puregliss FV8064 features an automatic temperature setting, eliminating the need for manual temperature adjustment for different fabric types. This ensures optimal heat for all ironable fabrics.

2. Steam Ironing

• Once the iron has reached its operating temperature (indicator light turns off), you can begin steam ironing.
• The iron provides a continuous steam output of up to 50 g/min, ideal for efficient wrinkle removal.
• For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button to activate an extra powerful shot of steam up to 280 g/min.

3. Vertical Steaming

The vertical steam function is perfect for refreshing hanging garments, curtains, or delicate fabrics without direct contact. Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam boost button intermittently.

4. Dry Ironing

For dry ironing, ensure the steam control is set to the 'no steam' position. This is suitable for fabrics that do not require steam or for finishing touches.

5. Auto-Off Safety Feature

For enhanced safety, your iron is equipped with an auto-off feature. If left unattended on its heel rest, it will automatically switch off after a certain period. If left flat on the soleplate or on its side, it will switch off even faster. To restart, simply move the iron.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Soleplate

The Durilium AirGlide Autoclean soleplate is designed for excellent glide and scratch resistance. To clean it, allow the iron to cool down completely. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use abrasive pads or metallic objects.

2. Cleaning the Micro-Calc Filter

Your iron is equipped with a patented Micro-Calc filter system to prevent limescale stains. For optimal performance, clean the filter regularly:

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Locate the Micro-Calc filter, typically at the rear of the iron.
3. Remove the filter by pulling it out.
4. Empty any accumulated calc deposits and rinse the filter thoroughly under running water.
5. Reinsert the clean filter back into the iron until it clicks into place.

3. Storage

After use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool down completely. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a safe, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
