User Manual Tefal FV9440G0 Ultimate autoclean

Choose a board that is height-adjustable to adjust it to your height. It should be steady and robust so that you can place the ironing appliance on it.
The board should be perforated to allow the steam to pass through the fibres of the fabric to soften it and make ironing easier. The ironing board cover should also be suitable to allow the flow of steam through.

Your appliance has been designed to work with tap water. However, it is necessary to regularly perform self-cleaning of the steam generator chamber in order to remove limescale.
If your water is very hard, we recommend that you use a maximum of 50% untreated tap water and 50% distilled water available in most shops.
Never use water containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc.), condensation water (e. g. clothes dryer water, refrigerator water, air conditioner water, rainwater), pure demineralized water or distilled water from store. These contain organic waste or minerals that condense under the influence of heat and cause spitting, brown dripping or premature aging of your device.

If it has not been used for a long time (for example several weeks), use it over the sink for a few minutes to remove any residue that could stain your laundry.

• Don't use the Boost steam button intensively. Wait few seconds between each use.
• The temperature button must be placed on Steam area (between 2 dots and MAX).
• Use steam only when the iron is hot (the light must be off).

It is essential to select the right ironing temperature.
Your iron has a built-in thermostat controlling the temperature very precisely over the entire surface of the soleplate. The thermostat dial contains international markers with dots corresponding to three ironing temperatures.
Make sure that you use the right temperature for your clothes:
• Marker with 1 dot for synthetic fabrics.
• Marker with 2 dots for wool and silk.
• Marker with 3 dots for cotton and linen.
