SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS  
1. This is a 1000 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit  
overload, do not operate another high wattage  
appliance on the same circuit.  
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,  
a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for  
less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken  
to arrange the cord so that it can not be pulled or  
tripped over.  
3. After the iron has cooled, wrap the cord loosely  
around the handle.  
4. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household  
use only.

BEFORE USE  
Please read the instructions for use and the Important Safeguards  
carefully.  
Remove the soleplate 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.

FOLDING HANDLE  
The handle should be in the upright  
position while the iron is in use. To lock the  
handle in the upright position, lift the  
handle and it will automatically lock.  
To fold handle , press handle release button  
on the rear of the iron.  
DUAL VOLTAGE  
The iron has a dual voltage selector so it can  
work on both, 120 V or 240 V, AC systems.  
Before plug in, be sure the dual voltage  
selector is in the correct voltage position  
before operating. To do this, turn the dual  
voltage selector which is below the  
240 V  
soleplate with a coin, so it is in the correct  
voltage position (either 120 V or 240 V).

Never switch during usage.

Adding water  
If you need to add water during ironing.  
UNPLUG the iron and repeat filling water  
steps.  
Ensure iron is fully reheated after filling  
before ironing.  
To avoid damage to clothes from dust  
or dirt that may collect in the iron, we  
recommend that for the first use or after  
the iron has been stored for some time  
that you first iron an old cloth, testing  
both the steam and burst of steam  
feature.

For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on an unobstru-

when the thermostat is in the colored cotton/linen zone.  
SETTING STEAM CONTROL  
Slide the steam control towards the back of the iron until the steam  
icon  
appears, so it is in the steaming position. Steam can only be  
produced when the thermostat is in the colored cotton/linen zone.  
Allow iron to heat up before switching the steam control to the steam-  
ing position. When ironing at low temperatures, to avoid water leak-  
age or spitting, set steam control to no steam position.

BURST OF STEAM  
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.

VERTICAL STEAM  
The iron can also be used vertically. This is  
especially useful for getting creases out of  
hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc.  
To steam vertically, press the burst of steam  
button while holding iron in the upright  
position.  
Warning:  
Never iron clothes while they are  
being worn.

POINTS TO NOTE  
If the iron has not been used for a long time (e.g. several weeks)  
the steam holes should be cleaned and any deposits removed from the  
iron. To do this, hold the iron horizontally before you start to use it  
and allow it to produce steam for about 1 minute. Also press the burst  
of steam button several times.  
DRY IRONING  
Slide the steam control forward so the  
no steam icon is visible. We recommend  
dry ironing with an empty tank to be  
sure there are no drips, but it can also be  
performed with water in the tank.

AFTER IRONING  
Unplug the iron. Slide the steam control forward to the no steam  
position and empty any water left in the tank. Leave the iron to cool  
down.  
˾
Important:  
Always empty the water tank when you have finished ironing.  
After the iron has cooled down, it may be stored in the bag  
provided.

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 just use inexpensive bottled spring  
water.  
Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit  
and leak.  
Softened water  
There are many types of household water softeners and the water  
from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. However,  
some types of softeners, particularly those that use chemicals such as  
salt, can cause the iron to leak or spit during use. If you experience  
this type of problem, we recommend that you try using inexpensive  
bottled spring water or untreated tap water.  
Never use 100% pure distilled water.  
Once you have changed water it will take several uses to correct the  
problem. Rowenta recommends trying the steam function for the first  
time on an old towel or cloth to avoid damaging your clothes.  
Iron and other impurities  
If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or organic matter,  
these minerals can collect inside the iron and eventually appear as  
brown stains. If you experience these problems Rowenta recommends  
using inexpensive bottled spring water.  
Never use 100% pure distilled water.  
Always remember:  
Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume  
or fabric conditioner) may not be used. Such additives can affect the  
properties of the steam and, at high temperatures, can form deposits  
in the steam chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are  
emitted through the steam vents. For this reason descaling liquids  
should not be used.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
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.  
In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate  
(starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily  
removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality  
hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.  
Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads.  
The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To prevent scratch-  
ing of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.).  
Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support,  
which may scratch the soleplate.

Iron is leaking.  
DISTILLED WATER  
DO NOT use 100 % pure distilled  
water, use tap water. In very hard

half distilled to reduce hardness; or  
use inexpensive bottled spring water.  
SOFTENED WATER  
If you experience leaks or spitting,  
change to untreated tap water or  
inexpensive bottled spring water.  
DO NOT use 100 % distilled water.  
Overuse of burst of  
steam.  
Allow more time between each

For more information refer to the full use instructions.  
If after using the trouble shooting guide you are still experiencing  
problems, do not return the iron to the store, but contact Rowenta  
Consumer Service who will be pleased to assist you.  
In line with a policy of continuous product improvement Rowenta  
reserves the right to change product specifications without prior  
notice.
