To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12-ampere cord should be used. [. . . ] With water in the tank, the burst of steam button can be used as soon as the steam ironing temperature has been reached (qqq). This is especially useful for getting creases out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc. To steam vertically, press the burst of steam button while holding iron in the upright position. Warning: Never iron clothes while they are being worn. POINTS TO NOTE If the iron has not been used for a long time (e. g. several weeks) the steam channels should be cleaned and any deposits removed from the iron. To do this, hold the iron horizontally before you start to use it and allow it to produce steam for about 1 minute. Also activate the burst of steam button several times. 7 DRY IRONING Slide the variable steam control fully to the left. We recommend dry ironing with an empty tank to be sure there are no drips, but it can also be performed with water in the tank. min Self max Clean AFTER IRONING Unplug the iron. Integrated cord wrap For easy storage, the cord can be wound loosely around the heel once the iron has cooled down completely. Important: Always empty the water tank when you have finished ironing. 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 just use inexpensive bottled spring water. Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak. 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. 8 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. [. . . ] Possible cause DISTILLED WATER Solution DO NOT use 100% pure distilled water, use tap water. In very hard water areas mix half tap water with half distilled to reduce hardness; or use inexpensive bottled spring water. Most softened water is alright, but if you experience leaks or spitting, change to untreated tap water or inexpensive bottled spring water. [. . . ]
