Lint Pad
The lint pad removes hair, lint and animal
fur for a professional finish.
• To use the lint pad, slowly brush the clothing
with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• The lint pad can be cleaned by
brushing in the opposite direction. We
recommend cleaning on an old cloth
that can be discarded.
Note: The lint pad does not attach to the steamer.
Upholstery Brush
The upholstery brush is used to aid steam
penetration into difficult, heavy fabrics for
faster results.
• Be sure unit is unplugged and completely
cool before attaching accessories.

the brush with the bottom of the steam
head. Gently push the top of the brush into place on the
steam head until it clicks into place.

of the fabric.
• Remove the upholstery brush once unit is unplugged and
completely cool. Remove it by pressing on the release
button on top of brush while pulling it forward.

The fabric brush opens the weave of the
fabric for better steam penetration.
• Be sure unit is unplugged and
completely cool before attaching
accessories.

Standby Function
• Standby steam function allows for short breaks during
longer steaming tasks. The orange standby indicator light
will illuminate when the steamer is in standby mode.
• Press the foot pedal to activate the standby steam function
which pauses steam within 5 to 10 seconds.
• To continue steaming, press foot pedal again and full
steam resumes within 10 to 15 seconds.
Standby indicator light will go out when the steamer is in
steam mode.
Do not use as on/off switch.
Auto off
The auto-off function prevents unit from overheating by
engaging when boiler is empty. This function does not
switch off the appliance.
Do not use as on/off switch.
Auto-off will still engage when steamer is in standby mode.
Filling with water
• The steamer can 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; or 100% distilled water.
• Battery water and water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used in
the steamer. Such additives can affect the properties of
the steam and can form deposits.
• Be sure that unit is unplugged.
Remove water tank from main unit by
pulling up. Unscrew the cover and fill.
Do not fill above the max line at the
water tank. Water tank capacity is
1 gallon.
• Screw cover back onto tank when fil-
led.
• Firmly place tank back on the main
unit.
Use
Warning: Never steam clothes while they are being worn.
Hose and steam head will become hot during use.
This is normal. Use caution and avoid prolonged contact.
• Place steamer on a flat, level surface. Do not block vents on
bottom of unit.
•
Extend cord to desired lengh by gently pulling from end.
• Dot not extend cord past red mark. It is not necessary to
depress foot pedal to extend cord.
• Plug in cord and activate the power switch by hand or foot. The red
power indicator light will illuminate once steamer is turned on.
• Wait for the steam to come out. It will take approximately
90 seconds.
• Put garment onto the hanger head. Grasp the steam head
with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start steaming
by touching material lightly with steaming head and moving
in an up/down vertical motion. Begin at the bottom of the
garment and move in an upward direction. Steam with hose
in an upright position. If steaming in a low position near floor,
straighten hose up and out FREQUENTLY to keep clear of con-
densation. This allows any condensation to flow back into the
steamer.
• During operation, the steamer hose may make a gurgling
noise. This is a normal result of condensation. If it begins to
gurgle, extend hose up and out to move excess moisture back
into the base.
DO NOT ALLOW STEAMER TO RUN DRY
Accessories (depending on model)
Rowenta offers various accessories to add versatility to your
garment steamer. Depending on the model, some of these
accessories may be included in your product.
Reminder: When using accessories steam only in an up and
down vertical motion. Never use steamer in a horizontal
position and never tilt it in a backward position.
Before using any of the accessories on upholstery or
garments, be sure to consult the manufacturer regarding
their recommendations. We also recommend testing on an
unobtrusive area.

Tips
Thank you for purchasing the Rowenta Commercial
Garment Steamer.
Vertical Steamers are designed to refresh garments after
hanging or folding, and to remove wrinkles from items that
are delicate or difficult to iron. Steamers are not intended
to replace an iron. To view the full range of Rowenta steam
irons, visit www.rowentausa.com.
Here are some helpful tips to consider before using your
new steamer.
• Check the fabrics label for recommendations on care.
• Test fabric for color fastness on an unobtrusive part of the
garment (inner seam) before steaming.
• Do not touch silk or velvet with steam head.
• Some articles can be steamed better from the underside.
• If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose
up and out frequently to keep clear condensation. If hose
becomes clogged, it will make a gurgling noise.
• Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming.
• Exercise caution at all times.

ance. Return appliance to nearest authorized service center
for examination, repair or adjustment.
4. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from
steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it
away from body and operating.
5. Steam only in an up and down vertical motion. Never use
steamer in a horizontal position or tilt into a backward
position, this may result in water discharge.
