Press the button firmly, a strong burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. Leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the burst of steam button. With water in the tank, the burst of steam button can be used as soon as the steam ironing temperature has been reached (qqq). VERTICAL STEAM The iron can also be used vertically.

Warning: Never iron clothes while they are being worn. DRY IRONING Slide the variable steam control fully to the left, dry ironing can be performed either with or preferably without water in the tank. Made in Germany AFTER IRONING Unplug the iron. Slide the variable steam control completely to the left and empty any water left in the tank. Integrated cord wrap For easy storage, the cord can be wound loosely around the cord wrap once the iron has cooled off completely. To protect the soleplate always store the iron on its heel. Mad e in WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA IRONS Tap water Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULAR TAP WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this, Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with half distilled water which reduces the hardness; or inexpensive spring water. Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak. Germ any Softened water There are many types of household water softeners and the water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those that use chemicals such as salt, can cause the iron to leak or spit during use. If you experience this type of problem, we recommend that you try using inexpensive bottled spring water or untreated tap water. Once you have changed water it will take several uses to correct the problem. Rowenta recommends trying the steam function for the first time on an old towel or cloth to avoid damaging your clothes. Iron and other impurities If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or organic matter, these minerals can collect inside the iron and eventually appear as brown stains. If you experience these problems Rowenta recommends using inexpensive bottled spring water. Vapodur Valve The patented Vapodur valve ensures that the opening which allows the water to drip from the water tank into the steam chamber of your iron remains unaffected by hard water deposits. To ensure your iron continues to steam efficiently the valve MUST be opened and closed a few times. This is done by moving the variable steam control left to right a few times each time you finish ironing. Steam Chamber Cleaning Function This function allows loose mineral deposits and other impurities that build up inside the iron to be flushed out. [. . . ] to max several times to clear blockage. Store iron on heel (vertically) with steam control at min. If after using the troubleshooting guide you are still experiencing problems, do not return the iron to the store, but contact Rowenta Consumer Service who will be pleased to assist you.
