To avoid burns and scalding, never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn. To remove wrinkles in cotton or linen, the soleplate can come in contact with the fabric for optimal results. For synthetic fabrics, a distance of 4 inches is recommend to avoid damage to the garment. For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam). Set the temperature control dial and the steam control dial (located on the control panel) to the maximum position. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press continuously on the steam button (beneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (9). (9) AFTER IRONING 1.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning, ensure that the steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have completely cooled down. Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the boiler. Place it on the iron rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures. The iron soleplate In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores. To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc. ). Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e. g. Always put the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest, never place on its heel. The base unit The iron and base can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry.
