FAQs
Can I use tap water in this iron?
Yes, standard tap water is suitable. If you live in an area with very hard water, you may use a 50/50 mix of tap and distilled water.
What is the warranty period?
Tefal provides a standard manufacturer's warranty. Please check your purchase documentation or the original packaging for specific regional terms.
Does the iron turn off automatically?
The Tefal Ultraglide Plus is designed for efficiency; however, always ensure you disconnect it from the power source after use.
How often should I clean the calc collector?
We recommend rinsing the collector once a month, or more frequently if you live in a hard water area.
Can I iron delicate fabrics with this model?
Yes, by adjusting the temperature dial to a lower setting, you can safely iron delicates, though it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the soleplate scratch-resistant?
Yes, the Durilium Airglide soleplate is engineered for high scratch resistance and long-term durability.
Troubleshooting
The iron is leaking water from the soleplate.
Ensure the steam setting is not turned on while the temperature dial is in the low heat range, as the iron needs to be hot to produce steam properly.
Steam output is weak or inconsistent.
Check if the calc collector is full and needs cleaning, or verify that the water tank is not empty.
The iron leaves marks on clothes.
Wipe the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth to remove any fabric residue or starch buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Tefal Ultraglide Plus, fill the water reservoir up to the 'Max' line, preferably using tap water unless you live in a particularly hard water area. Once plugged in, select your desired temperature setting using the dial; the indicator light will signal when the iron is ready.
For care and maintenance, the removable calc collector is essential. Periodically remove and rinse the collector under running water to clear out mineral deposits. Never use chemical descalers, as these can damage the internal seals. After each use, empty the remaining water from the tank to prevent stagnation and ensure the iron is stored in an upright position on a flat, stable surface.
