To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp
objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the appliance on rough

WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA STEAM 'N PRESS
Tap water
The Rowenta Steam 'n Press is 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.
