After use, empty the tank, close the steam control, set the thermostat to minimum and stand the iron upright or place it on the base (depending on model).

The ultimate pure steam iron by Tefal brings together awesome steam power with an exclusive calc management system, for perfect ironing that goes the distance. When heating your iron for the first time, you may notice a small amount of odour and smoke, this is simply the engineering residues from the manufacturing process burning off.This iron is much better than the bulky iron bought from John Lewis for almost 3x more expensive plus its much heavier than the lightweight Tefal FV9845.

Ultimate Pure also has the new Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate with 33% more glide for fast and effortless ironing. I`d say its a medium weight Iron , but the weight I found was just enough to help with the pressing of the clothes. Steam, water and scale deposits will leave the steam chamber through the steam holes and the iron will be clean. Its very easy to fill up at a flip down lid situated on the front of the Iron facia and has a Max level to fill it up to .The electronic system cuts the power and the auto-stop light flashes if the iron is not moved for more than 8 minutes (on its heel rest or base) or is left flat for more than 30 seconds. I used this along with ironing water the steam is fantastic and temp control is great i ironed my silk blouse no problems at all my bedding was finished in minutes its lightweight and easy to control. Ultimate Pure also has the new Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate with 33% more glide* for fast and effortless ironing. If you want to use starch, simply spray it on the reverse side of the garment, so that there is no contact between the soleplate and the starch.
