Suitable water:  
Your steam generator has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, if  
your water is very hard, mix 50 % untreated tap water with 50 % distilled water.  
The ironing centre comes with a tester that can be used to test the hardness of the water.  
Unsuitable water:  
Do not add anything to the contents of the removable water tank, and do not use water  
from clothes-dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air  
conditioners, pure distilled water, pure demineralised water or rainwater, as these types of  
water contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated  
and cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to the appliance.

3 • USINGYOUR IRONING CENTRE  
1. Open the storage compartment cover by lifting the catches located on each  
side of the iron rest-plate (6).  
2.  
Remove the iron, steam cord and electric power cord from the storage com-  
partment. (7)  
3.  
Insert the power cord and steam cord in the cut-outs located on the sides of  
the storage compartment.The ironing centre can be configured for left- or  
right-handed use.  
(6)  
4.  
Close the storage compartment cover and place the iron on its rest-plate (8).  
Warning :Your ironing centre is equipped with a safety device which cuts the power supply  
when the iron is stored in its compartment.  
To switch the iron on again, it is imperative that the iron is removed from its storage com-  
partment first.  
5. For maximum ironing comfort, fit the steam cord support in its mounting and feed the steam  
cord through the support loop (9).  
6. Connect the power cord to an earthed mains socket.  
7. Switch on the main On/Off (O/I) switch (located on the control panel on the ironing board)  
(10 - 1 ).The green light on the control panel will start to flash and the boiler will heat up  
(10 - 2 ). When the green light stops flashing (after approximately 2 minutes), the steam supply  
is ready.

When you switch on your ironing centre, the ironing board surface heats up automatically,  
eliminating any risk of steam condensing.Your ironing board's surface will reach its operating  
temperature in approximately 7 minutes.This does not prevent you from starting your ironing  
as soon as the steam supply is ready (after 2 minutes).  
The first time you use your ironing centre, some fumes and a harmless smell may be released.  
They will not affect use and will quickly disappear.  
After about a minute, and at regular intervals during use, your appliance's electric pump will  
inject water into the boiler. It makes a noise, but this is quite normal.  
4 • OPERATINGTHE CONTROL PANEL  
- Flashing green light: Water is heating in the boiler.  
- Continuous green light:The steam supply is ready for use.  
- Continuous red light:The water tank is empty.  
- RESTART button: Press this button to restart boiler heating, whenever you have stopped to refill  
the water tank (see chapter 9).

5 • SUCTION AND BLOWN-AIR FUNCTIONS  
Your ironing centre is equipped with a range of professional ironing features.  
In addition to an automatically heated ironing board surface, your appliance is equipped with  
fans providing suction and blown-air functions which ensure outstanding ironing quality.  
a) Suction and blown-air fan control button  
BLOWN AIR position  
Position O (no ventilation)  
SUCTION position  
b)The benefits of the suction and blown-air functions include  
BLOWN-AIR FUNCTION:  
When you switch the control button to the blown-air position, the blower  
system is activated, creating an air cushion between the board and fabric.The  
blown-air function is recommended for:  
- Ironing delicate fabrics (e.g. silk or wool);  
- Preventing accidental creases on large and medium-sized items  
(e.g. tablecloths, sheets or jacket backs);  
- Avoiding "buffing" fabrics, and preventing lines and seam marks.  
SUCTION FUNCTION:  
When you switch the control button to the suction position, the suction system is  
activated, creating a downward airflow.The suction function is recommended for:  
- Holding items in place on the ironing surface;  
- Clearly marking creases (e.g. trouser creases);  
- Ironing thick fabrics (e.g. denim and linen);  
- Eliminating any residual moisture;  
- Preventing steam from escaping while you are ironing.  
c)Tips for using the suction and blown-air functions according to the type  
of fabric  
Delicate fabrics: silk, synthetic materials  
Delicate finishes: gathers, frills, glitter, embroidery, lace, etc.  
Linings and seams: jacket linings, double-layered delicate fabrics, etc.  
BLOWN AIR  
Thick and heavy fabrics: cotton, denim, corduroy, linen, tweed, wool, etc.  
Creases and turn-ups: pleated skirts, trouser turn-ups, knife pleats, etc.  
Lined finishes: cuffs, collars, waistbands, hems, button-holes, shirt back pleats, etc.

6 • STEAM IRONING  
1.  
Set the iron's temperature control selector according to the type of fabric to be ironed (11)  
2. The iron temperature control light will light up.  
Important:The ironing centre is ready when the iron temperature control light goes out and  
when the green “steam ready light” on the board's control panel stays continuous.  
It is perfectly normal for the iron temperature control and boiler lights to switch on and off during  
use, according to the heating requirements.This does not prevent you from continuing to iron in  
the usual way.  
3. Adjust the steam output (using the steam output control dial located on the control panel)(12).  
Synthetics (low temperature)  
Silk/Wool (medium temperature)  
Cotton/Linen (high temperature)

Recommendations:  
• Before you begin using the iron, or if you have not used any steam for a few minutes, press the  
steam control button several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes.  
This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam-circuit.  
Iron temperature control setting:  
- Start with any fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•), and finish with those which need  
higher temperatures (•• or Max).  
- Mixed-fibre fabrics: Set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.  
- Woollen garments : Press the irons steam control button intermittently to produce short  
bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.  
Steam output control dial setting:  
-Thick fabrics: Increase the steam output setting.  
- Low temperature ironing: Set the steam output control dial to the low position.  
Dry ironing: Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.  
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.  
Ironing board cover:  
We recommend ironing the ironing board cover with a very hot iron before you use it for the  
first time. For perfect results every time, only replace with a Rowenta ironing board cover  
available from our authorised service dealers.  
7 • VERTICAL STEAM IRONING  
1. Set the iron temperature control and the steam output control dial (located  
on the control panel) to the maximum position.  
2. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with  
one hand.  
As steam is very hot, never attempt to remove creases from a garment  
while it is being worn - always hang garments on a coat hanger.  
3. Holding the iron in a vertical, tilted position, press in one second bursts on  
(14)  
the steam control button (located beneath the iron handle) while moving  
the iron from top to bottom (14).  
Recommendations:With fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres  
away from the garment, to avoid burning the fabric.  
8 • HUMID STEAM FUNCTION  
Press the humid steam button (15) two or three times to obtain a steam  
boost as required:  
- When ironing thick fabrics,  
- In order to eliminate unwanted creases,  
- For powerful vertical crease removal.  
(15)  
Important: Use the humid steam function very carefully because of the exceptional power  
of the steam that may cause burns.

iron rest-plate have cooled down.  
Do not use any cleaning or descaling products when cleaning the soleplate or boiler.  
Never hold the iron or steam generator under the tap.  
Do not place the iron on a metal rest, as this could damage it.  
Place it instead on the supplied rest-plate, which is fitted with non-slip pads and is designed to  
withstand high temperatures.  
a) Removable water tank  
Empty and rinse the removable water tank (18)  
(18)  
b) Iron soleplate  
We recommend that you clean the soleplate using the Rowenta soleplate cleaning stick available  
from Rowenta Approved Service Centres (see After Sales Service chart for addresses).  
The iron's high quality soleplate protects your laundry and makes ironing smoother.  
When you are not ironing, you should always place the iron on its rest-plate; never stand the iron  
on its heel.  
Do not place the iron on rough surfaces. Do not scratch or scrape the soleplate. Never clean it  
with corrosive or abrasive agents.  
Never iron over zips or rivets eg on jeans.  
c) Ironing board and iron  
Clean the plastic parts of the iron and the ironing board legs occasionally by wiping with a damp  
cloth.

11 • RINSING OUTTHE BOILER  
Important :  
To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid any build-up of scale, it is essential to rinse  
out the boiler after every 10 uses. If your water is hard, you should rinse the boiler more  
frequently.  
Never use descaling agents when rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.  
a) Rinsing the boiler using the rinsing accessory  
For easier and more effective boiler rinsing, we recommend using the rinsing accessory supplied  
with your ironing station (20).  
It will make rinsing the boiler easier as the steam generator will require less handling.  
Your rinsing accessory has been designed to fit a wide range of taps. It is supplied with two types  
of membrane (21) (a) (b). Choose the one best suited to your tap.  
(a)  
(20)  
(21)  
(b)  
Before rinsing your steam generator, you MUST let your ironing station cool for 2 hours, to  
prevent any risk of burns.  
Recommendation:  
To avoid the need to wait, we recommend rinsing the boiler before you start your ironing  
session.
