[. . . ] Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing. [. . . ] Steam can only be produced when the thermostat is in the red cotton/linen zone. SETTING THE VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL 4 min Self max Clean Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can only be produced when the thermostat is aligned to qqq (red zone on dial). (If on setting q or qq the variable steam lever should be shut off. ) Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the steam control. Iron ready for steam ironing Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally and variable steam lever is moved from the min position. Steam off Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on its heel or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left (min. ) ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM (Depending on model) In order to produce steam, all irons require a high temperature. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will not turn to steam and can spit or leak from soleplate. The antidrip system automatically reduces the volume of steam when ironing at low temperatures to prevent dripping. SPRAY SETTING 5 Ensure there is water in the tank. Moistening the fabric with the spray will make wrinkle removal easier. This is very useful when the three dot setting is too hot for the material being ironed. Press the spray button down slowly for a jet or quickly for a mist. Rowenta recommends trying the steam function for the first time on an old towel or cloth that can be thrown away to avoid damaging 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 issues, we recommend trying inexpensive bottled spring water. Always remember: Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume or fabric onditioner) may not be used in the iron. Such additives can affect the properties of the steam and, at high temperatures, can form deposits in the steam chamber. These deposits can mark laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents. For this reason, descaling liquids should not be used. SELF CLEANING 9 Your iron is equipped with two self clean functions. min Self max Clean Vapodur Valve The patented Vapodur valve ensures that the opening which allows the water to drip from the tank into the steam chamber remains unaffected by hard water deposits. To ensure that your iron continues to steam efficiently the valve MUST be opened and closed a few times after each use. This is done by moving the variable steam control left to right a few times. Steam Chamber Cleaning Function This function allows loose mineral deposits and other impurities that build up inside the iron to be flushed out. This type of self cleaning only needs to be carried out occasionally and never more than once a month. [. . . ] 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 cleaner available at most stores. [. . . ]
