• Fill the iron with tap water to the max mark
on the water tank.
• Be sure that variable steam lever is set to
minimum.
• Stand iron on heel and plug in.
• Set thermostat to ••• setting.
• Once heated, unplug iron.
• Hold iron horizontally over the sink with
the soleplate pointing away from body.
• Move the variable steam lever completely
to the right and hold in the self clean posi-
tion for one minute.
Warning: Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be
ejected from the soleplate. Take all proper precautions and
hold iron away from body.
• Move the iron gently back and forth and side to side until
all water has run through plate.
•
Carefully 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 very hot. Exercise
care while wiping.
• Place iron on heel and leave to cool.
Before using iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst
of steam on an old towel or cloth than can be discarded.
Vapodur Valve
To ensure the iron continues to steam efficiently, open and close
the valve a few times after each use. This is done by moving the
variable steam control lever left to right a few times.
After ironing
1. Turn the temperature dial to the min setting. Slide the
steam lever to the dry position .
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Place the iron on its heel and allow to cool completely.
4. Empty water from the appliance before storing. We
recommend emptying the iron when not in use.
5. To protect the soleplate, we recommend storing iron on its heel.
Cleaning and Maintenance
When 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 wiped clean when cold.
• In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the sole-
plate (starch, detergent build-up, burnt synthetic fibers).
This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta
Soleplate Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner availa-
ble at most stores. The Rowenta kit is also available
through our website: www.rowentausa.com
• 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 soleplate.
