This ensures the Vapodur valve remains free of mineral build-up and the iron will continue to steam. See self cleaning section in instructions for additional cleaning feature. ß Cleaning the iron and soleplate When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. 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. " 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. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Iron is leaking. Possible cause DISTILLED WATER Solution DO NOT use 100% pure distilled water, use tap water. In very hard water areas mix half tap water with half distilled to reduce hardness; or use inexpensive bottled spring water. [. . . ] 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 using inexpensive spring water. Never use 100 % distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak. Softened watrer: There are many types of household water softeners and the water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. [. . . ]
