Filling the water tank
• The steamer is designed to be used
with TAP WATER . If the water in your
area is hard, Rowenta recommends
that you mix half tap water and half
distilled water, which reduces the
hardness; you may also use bottled
spring water or distilled water only.
IMPORTANT
Never use water that contains
additives (starch, perfume, aromatic
substances, softener, etc) in the
steamer. Additives such as these can
affect the properties of the steam and
lead to the formation of deposits.
• Ensure that the device is unplugged.
Remove the water tank from the base
of the appliance by pulling it
upwards. Unscrew the lid and fill the
tank.
The tank holds 128 ounces.
• After closing the lid, place the water
tank into place on the base of the
appliance.
Tips
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer
recommendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an
unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
• Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the
labels of the clothing to be steamed.
• Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment
that is not visible (inside of a hem).
• Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise
the hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation.
You may hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
• Be careful at all times.
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.

Use
Warning: Never steam a garment while it
is being worn. The hose and steam head
may become hot during use.
This is perfectly normal. Be careful and
avoid any prolonged contact.
• Only operate the steamer on the floor
clear of any materials which may obstruct
the base of the steamer (flat and horizontal
surface). Do not obstruct the orifices on the
lower part of the appliance.
• Depending on the model the steam
amount can be set to the desired level with
the variable steam control.*
• If necessary, expand the poles to the
desired height by unlocking them. Gently
pull the hanger with the hand and lock the
poles to the desired height with the other
hand. Take care not to jam the double
poles by pulling them asymetrically.
• Plug in the power cord and turn on the
power using the foot operated pedal. The
power light will illuminate. The steamer is
operating.
• The unit will produce steam in 60 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. Beginning at the top of the
garment move in a downward direction.
Always steam in a vertical position.
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling
noise. This is normal and caused by
condensation. If you hear the gurgling
noise, hold the hose up to direct the
condensation back into the appliance.
Warning: Do not allow the steamer to
run dry.
Warning: Never use the steamer more
than 3 hours.
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.

Crease attachement*
• Gently push into place.
• Push on the handle to open out the
crease attachment .
• Place the garment between the crease
attachment and steam head.
• Release the handle.
• Starting at the top of the garment, move
the crease attachment in a downwards
motion.
• Once unit is unplugged and completely
cooled down, remove the crease
attachment by sliding it off of the steam
head.
The lint pad is a separate accessory and
cannot be attached to the steam head.
You can use the lint pad independently
from the steamer.
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 pad can be cleaned by brushing it in
the opposite direction. We recommend
cleaning the pad on an old cloth that can
be discarded.

• After using the steamer, switch the
power off (power indicator light will go
out) and unplug the appliance.
• Hang steam head in an upright position
on hanger head when not in use.

handle.
The unit is designed to transport with the
convenience of rolling luggage for easy
storage.
Warning: Never touch the steam head until it
has cooled down completely.
Cleaning
Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To
maintain maximum performance, your
steamer must be descaled occasionally. The
time between two descaling operations
depends on the quality of the water and the
frequency with which you use the appliance.
The appliance must be descaled at least once
a year or after 100 hours of use.
To carry out a descaling operation, follow the
following steps:
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down
completely. Unplug the unit and remove the
steam hose from main unit. Collapse the
telescopic poles.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and
attach it to the main unit again.
3. Remove the tank from main unit and empty
the water from the boiler through the open
hose connector into a sink. Scale and other
residues will be rinsed out.
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 several times until the
scale has been removed.
