RECOMMENDATIONS :

Fabrics and ironing temperatures :

•Your iron heats up quickly : so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,

•if you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on before beginning to iron again,

• when ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most delicate fibre.

For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).

When setting the thermostat control on this position (G) steam flow is concentrated at the tip of the soleplate (H) for a better penetration of the steam within the thickest fabrics, like Jeans (Denim).

Spray Function

Laundry can be dampened using the spray, providing there is water in the tank.

- Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button (I) to dampen laundry to remove stubborn creases. - Make sure that there is water in the tank before using this button.

For more steam (shot of steam)

-Press the Shot of Steam button from time to time (J)

-Wait a few seconds between each shot before pressing the button again.

Vertical steam ironing

-Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc

-Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.The steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never while someone is wearing it.

-Set the thermostat control to MAX (K).

-Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

-Press the Shot of Steam button ( ) repeatedly (L), moving the iron from top to bottom. (See illustration) (M) wait a couple of seconds between each use of the button.

Integral anti-scale system

-Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system (N).

-This system will help to provide:

•a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,

•lasting performance from your appliance.

Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)

-The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a horizontal position for more than 30 seconds (O).

-To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.

Note : when the Auto-Stop warning light is on, it is normal for the thermostat light to remain off.

Anti-drip function

If the soleplate temperature is too low, the iron will not produce steam because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

When using the iron for the first time, allow 2 minutes for steam to be produced.

2- DRY IRONING

-Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.

-Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).

-You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

Esteemed for their efficient performance and user-friendly features, these models ensure a smooth and effective ironing experience for both casual users and experienced homemakers.

One of the standout features of the FV8110 series is the 2400-watt power output, which allows the irons to heat up quickly and deliver high steam performance. This ensures that users can tackle laundry piles without waiting too long, making it an ideal choice for busy lifestyles. The steam output of up to 40 grams per minute provides consistent and strong steam flow, enabling effortless removal of wrinkles from different types of clothing, including thicker materials like denim and curtains.

The FV8110 models are equipped with Tefal’s unique Durilium technology, which features a highly efficient non-stick soleplate. This soleplate not only glides easily over fabrics but also ensures even heat distribution, significantly reducing the chances of scorching delicate materials. Additionally, the soleplate's durability means that it can withstand heavy use without losing its non-stick properties.

Another key feature is the vertical steam capability, which allows for vertical steaming of garments like suits or dresses on hangers. This is especially convenient for quick touch-ups and when dealing with delicate fabrics that shouldn't be laid flat.

For safety and convenience, the FV8110 series includes an automatic shut-off feature, which activates after a period of inactivity. This ensures peace of mind for users who may forget to turn off their irons after use. The anti-drip system prevents water leakage, protecting clothes and keeping surfaces clean.

With a large water tank capacity, the FV8110 models reduce the frequency of refills, enhancing efficiency during ironing sessions. The easy refill design allows users to fill the tank without hassle, optimizing user experience.

In summary, the Tefal FV8110 series, with its combination of powerful steam production, innovative soleplate technology, safety features, and ease of use, is designed to meet the diverse needs of modern ironing. These characteristics make each model in the series a valuable addition to any home, ensuring that every garment looks its best with minimal effort.
