BEFORE USE  
Iron and other impurities  
Please read all of the instructions for use  
and the Important Safeguards carefully.  
Remove all packaging from the generator. It  
is normal for a small amount of smoke and  
a light odor to be produced the first time it is  
used. This will quickly disappear.  
If your water supply contains large amounts of  
iron or organic matter, these minerals can  
collect inside the appliance and eventually  
appear as brown stains. If you experience  
these problems Rowenta recommends using  
inexpensive bottled spring water.  
1 • Water recommendations  
Never use 100% pure distilled water.  
Tap water  
Always remember :  
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  
as this can cause the iron to spit and leak.  
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.  
Descaling liquids/agents should not be used.  
Softened water  
There are many types of household water  
softeners and the water from many of them is  
perfectly acceptable for use in the steam  
generator. However, some types of softeners,  
particularly those that use chemicals such as  
salt, can cause the appliance 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.  
2 • Filling the boiler  
The steam generator is designed to operate  
using tap water. (A).  
While unplugged, place the steam generator  
on a stable horizontal, heat resistant surface.  
Unscrew the boiler cap.  
Using a water pitcher, fill with 33 oz. of water.  
Do not fill water tank past the base of the  
boiler cap thread. Do not overfill. Be sure that  
water does not spill over. If this occurs remove  
the excess 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 that can be  
discarded to avoid damaging your clothes.  
Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly.  
To fill boiler while you are using the  
appliance see section “Filling boiler while in  
use.  
USE  
turn on and off. This is normal as the  
temperature is being regulated.The unit is still  
on when these lights go out.  
To turn the unit off, press the switch(es) in the  
opposite direction so that the side without the  
light is depressed. Unplug and leave to cool  
completely before emptying or putting away.  
Set the temperature control dial on the iron to  
the minimum setting before unplugging.  
3 Turning on and off  
Plug the generator into a 120 volt electric  
outlet.  
Press on/off switch (B), the iron light and  
steam indicator light will turn on.  
When the steam indicator light turns off  
(approximately 7 minutes), steam is ready.  
During ironing the temperature indicator light  
for the iron and the steam indicator light will

4 • Steam ironing  
Never iron or steam clothes while they are  
being worn.  
5 • Dry ironing  
This appliance can be used for dry ironing if  
the steam button is not pressed.  
Set the irons on/off switch to the on position.  
Do not turn on the steam switch.  
The appliance allows steam output to be  
adjusted.  
• setting on the iron : the steam control dial  
should be set to min.  
•• setting on the iron : the steam control should  
be set at the mid level.  
••• setting on the iron : the steam control dial  
can be set to the max.  
6 • Vertical steam  
To remove wrinkles in cotton or linen, the  
soleplate can come into contact with the fabric  
for optimal results.  
For synthetic fabrics, a distance of 4 inches is  
recommended to avoid damage to the  
garment.  
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying  
out a test on an unobtrusive part of the  
garment (inner seam).

•••  
Caution : Steam produced is very hot.To  
avoid burns and scalding never iron or  
steam clothes while they are being worn.  
••  
Fill iron according to the “Filling the boiler”  
section of instructions.  
Press on/off switch (B), the iron light and  
steam indicator light will turn on.  
SYNTHETIC  
(Viscose, Polyester)  
When the steam indicator light turns off  
(approximately 7 minutes), steam is ready.  
Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold  
the fabric from the bottom of the garment  
slightly taut with one hand.  
Holding the iron in a vertical position, press  
continuously on the steam button while  
moving the iron from the top of the garment to  
the bottom (C).  
Note : It is normal for the connection cord to  
become warm during use.  
Before using the generator for the first time  
or if you have not used the steam function  
for a few minutes, press the steam button  
several times in a row while holding the iron  
away from your clothes.This will enable any  
cold water to be removed from the steam  
connection cord.  
When ironing start with fabrics that require a  
low temperature setting (•) and finish with  
those which need the highest temperature  
(•••).  
7 • Filling the boiler while in  
use  
Caution : Never unscrew the boiler cap while  
iron is producing steam and boiler is under  
pressure.  
Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the  
temperature for the most delicate fabric. For  
example a shirt that is 60% cotton and 40%  
polyester should be ironed at the (•) setting  
for synthetics.  
If spray starch is used, spray it onto the  
reverse side of the garment. Allow starch to  
penetrate before ironing.  
For best results, use a mesh type ironing  
board to allow excess steam to escape.  
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying  
out a test on an unobtrusive area of the  
garment such as an inner seam.  
Before opening the boiler, ensure that there is  
no steam inside. To do this, press the steam  
button and keep it pressed until there is no  
more steam.  
Turn the unit off (see section “Turning On and  
Off”) and unplug from outlet.  
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap. Using a water  
pitcher, fill with 33 oz. of water. Do not fill water  
tank past the base of the boiler cap thread. Be  
sure that water does not spill over. If this  
occurs remove the excess water.  
Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly.  
Plug back in to electrical outlet.

completely which will take approximately 1  
hour.  
Once cold, empty water from the appliance  
before storing. We recommend emptying the  
boiler when not in use.  
8 • After ironing  
Turn the unit off. (Consult section “Turning On  
and Off”).  
Unplug the appliance.  
Place the iron on the iron rest and allow to cool  
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and completely cooled down.  
The iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners,  
descalers or solvents.  
9 • Cleaning the soleplate  
10 • Rinsing out the  
boiler  
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 descaling agents.  
To ensure optimum steam performance, the  
boiler must be rinsed out after every 10 uses. If  
your tap water is hard increase the frequency.  
Check that the generator is unplugged and  
cold.  
Fill the boiler 3/4 full with tap water.  
Shake the boiler for a few moments and then  
empty it over a sink (D).  
To prevent scratching 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.  
Place the iron on its rest on top of the base of  
the unit.  
Always put the iron with the soleplate down on  
the iron rest, never place on its heel.  
Repeat the process.  
Wipe the generator base regularly with a damp  
cloth and wipe dry.  
Never hold the generator under the tap.  
Boiler Cap  
To ensure a proper seal, please check the red  
rubber ring in the safety cap for wear and  
tear regularly. If wear is noted, replace ring.  
Replacement rings are available through our  
main service centers.
