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.
BEFORE USE M M M Please read the instructions for use and the Important Safeguards carefully. Remove the sticker or transparent soleplate protector. It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first time the iron is used. This will quickly disappear. 1 3-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 minutes if left vertically or in 30 seconds if 8 min. left on its soleplate or tipped over.
Laundry label Fabric Synthetics Nylon Polyester M M M M Temperature setting ● (low temperature) Silk Wool (medium temperature) Cotton Linen (high temperature) ●● ●●● To avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always keep the iron on its heel. Start at a low temperature and graduate to a high temperature. For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam).
6 BURST OF STEAM M 6 M M M To remove stubborn wrinkles or press in a sharp crease, use the burst of steam button. Press the button firmly, a strong burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. Leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the burst of steam button. With water in the tank, the burst of steam button can be used as soon as the steam ironing temperature has been reached (●●●). 7 VERTICAL STEAM M 7 M The iron can also be used vertically.
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.
9 SELF CLEANING M 9 min Your iron is equipped with two self clean functions. Self max Clean Vapodur Valve M M The 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. To 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE M 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 simply wiped clean when cold. M In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers).
