IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always

be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the iron.

1. Use appliance only for its intended use.

2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse

the appliance in water or other liquids.

3. The appliance should always be turned to Minimum

(Min) before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never

yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug

and pull to disconnect.

4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance

cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely

around appliance when storing.

5. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when

filling appliance with water or emptying appliance when

not in use.

6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the

appliance has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the

risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the appliance

ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta Appliance

Service Center for examination and repair. Incorrect

reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when

the appliance is used.

7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance

being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance

unattended while plugged in or on ironing board.

8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water

steam or hot soleplate cover. Use caution when you turn a

steam iron upside down. There may be hot water in the

reservoir.

The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by

Rowenta and may result in fire, electric shock or personal

injury.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This is a 1400 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload,

do not operate a high wattage appliance on the same

circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12- ampere

cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may

overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that

it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

3. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household

use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE

MPlease read the instructions for use and the Important

Safeguards carefully.

MRemove the sticker or transparent soleplate protector.

MIt is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced

the first time the iron is used. This will quickly disappear.

13-WAY AUTO-OFF

If the iron is not moved while it is

plugged in, an internal safety switch

will turn it off. It will turn off in 8 min-

utes if left vertically or in 30 seconds if

left on its soleplate or tipped over. A

red flashing light indicates that the

auto-off has been activated. To switch

the iron on again, move the iron or

gently shake it. Wait until iron is fully

reheated before use.

Auto-off is not an on/off switch. Always unplug the iron

when it is not in use.

2STEAM IRONING

Filling with water

MEnsure the iron is unplugged.

MSlide the variable steam control

completely to the left.

MHold the appliance upright so that

the water inlet is horizontal.

MFill with water (containing no addi-

tives) to the max. water level mark.

Adding water

MIf you need to add water during ironing UNPLUG the iron

and repeat above steps.

MEnsure iron is fully reheated after filling (pilot light goes out)

before ironing.

MTo avoid damage to clothes from dust or dirt that may

collect in the iron, we recommend that for the first use or

after the iron has been stored for some time that you first

iron an old cloth that can be discarded, testing both the

steam and burst of steam features.

3SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE

Set the temperature control dial

according to the type of fabric you

are ironing.

Check the fabric's label for appro-

priate setting.

MTo avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating

up, always keep the iron on its heel.

MStart at a low temperature and graduate to a high tempera-

ture.

MFor delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on

an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam).

MSteam can only be produced when the thermostat is in

the red cotton/linen zone.

4SETTING THE VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL

Set the variable steam control to

required steam volume. Steam can

only be produced when the thermo-

stat is aligned to ●●● (red zone on

dial). (If on setting ●or ●● the vari-

able steam lever should be shut off.)

Allow iron to heat up (light goes

out) before activating the steam

control.

Iron ready for steam ironing

Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally and

variable steam lever is moved from the min position.

Steam off

Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on

its heel or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left

(min.)

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

(Depending on model)

In order to produce steam, all irons require a high tempera-

ture. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will

not turn to steam and can spit or leak from soleplate. The anti-

drip system automatically reduces the volume of steam when

ironing at low temperatures to prevent dripping.

5SPRAY SETTING

MEnsure there is water in the tank.

MMoistening the fabric with the

spray will make wrinkle removal

easier. This is very useful when the

three dot setting is too hot for the

material being ironed.

MPress the spray button down slowly

for a jet or quickly for a mist.

MDo not spray silk, etc.

Cle

6BURST OF STEAM

MTo remove stubborn wrinkles or

press in a sharp crease, use the

burst of steam button.

MPress the button firmly, a strong

burst of steam penetrates deep

into the fabric.

MLeave an interval of at least four

seconds between pressing the

burst of steam button.

MWith water in the tank, the burst of

steam button can be used as soon

as the steam ironing temperature

has been reached (●●●).

7VERTICAL STEAM

MThe iron can also be used vertically.

This is especially useful for getting

creases out of hanging clothes,

curtains, tapestries, etc.

MTo 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.

8DRY IRONING

MSlide the variable steam control

fully to the left (min.). We recom-

mend dry ironing with an empty

water tank to be sure there are no

drips.

AFTER IRONING

MUnplug the iron. Set the variable steam control to max.

and empty any water left in the tank. Then set the variable

steam control to min. and leave the iron to cool.

MFor easy storage the cord can be wound loosely around the

heel once the iron has cooled down completely.

MTo protect the soleplate always store the iron on its heel.

Important:

Always empty the water tank when ironing is finished.

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 use just

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 recom-

mend trying inexpensive bottled spring water or untreated tap

water.

Never use 100% pure distilled 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 that can be

thrown away to avoid damaging 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 eventual-

ly appear as brown stains. If you experience these issues, we

recommend trying inexpensive bottled spring water.

Never use 100% pure distilled water.

Always remember:

Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch,

perfume or fabric onditioner) may not be used in the iron.

Such additives can affect the properties of the steam and, at

high temperatures, can form deposits in the steam chamber.

These deposits can mark laundry when they are emitted

through the steam vents. For this reason, descaling liquids

should not be used.

9SELF CLEANING

M Your iron is equipped with two self

clean functions.

Vapodur Valve

MThe patented Vapodur valve ensures that the opening

which allows the water to drip from the tank into the steam

chamber remains unaffected by hard water deposits.

MTo ensure that your iron continues to steam efficiently the

valve MUST be opened and closed a few times after each

use. This is done by moving the variable steam control left

to right a few times.

Steam Chamber Cleaning Function

This function allows loose mineral deposits and other

impurities that build up inside the iron to be flushed out. This

type of self cleaning only needs to be carried out occasionally

and never more than once a month.

MFill the iron with cold tap water halfway to the max line and

set variable steam lever to min.

MStand on heel and plug in.

MSet thermostat dial to maximum (●●●) position.

MWhen the iron reaches the correct temperature, indicator

light will go out, unplug iron.

MHold iron horizontally over the sink with soleplate pointing

away from the body.

MMove variable steam lever completely to the right and hold

in self clean position for one minute.

WARNING:

Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be ejected

from the soleplate. Take all proper preacautions and hold

iron away from body.

MMove the iron gently back and forth and side to side until

all water has run through.

MCarefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate

with an old towel, as the water and minerals can stain the

soleplate (although this has no effect on glide or

performance).

WARNING:

Iron and soleplate may still be hot, exercise care while

wiping.

MPlace iron on heel and leave to cool.

MIMPORTANT: Before using the iron after self cleaning, test

steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth that can

be discarded to ensure all loose material have been

removed from the iron.

Cle

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

MWhen cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a

damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners

or solvents.

Cleaning the soleplate

Rowenta soleplates have excellent non-stick properties and

can be simply wiped clean when cold.

MIn normal use a draggy coating may build up on the sole-

plate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers).

This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate

Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron cleaner available at most

stores.

MDo not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning

pads.

MThe soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To prevent

scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects

(zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g.

metal iron support, which may scratch the plate.
