Check packaging or markings on iron for exact features 4 BEFORE USE Please read the instructions for use and the Important Safeguards carefully. Slowly peel the protective cover off the soleplate. It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first time the iron is used. 3-WAY AUTO-OFF (NOT ON ALL MODELS) If the iron is not moved while it is switched on, an internal safety switch will turn it off. It will turn off in 8 minutes if left vertically or in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tipped over. A red flashing light indicates that the auto-off has been activated. To switch the iron on again, move the iron or gently shake it. Made in Germany Wait until iron is fully reheated before use. STEAM IRONING Filling with water: Ensure the iron is unplugged. Slide the variable steam control completely to the left. Hold the appliance upright so that the water filling inlet is horizontal. Hold iron vertical, close to but not touching fabric. Hold hem and pull gently downward on the fabric. Press burst of steam button, a strong burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. WARNING: Never iron clothes while they are being worn! Made in Germany DRY IRONING Sliding the variable steam control fully to the left, dry ironing can be performed either with or preferably without water in the tank. AFTER IRONING Unplug the iron. Slide the variable steam control completely to the left and empty any water left in the tank. Integrated cord wrap: For easy storage, the cord can be wound loosely around the cord wrap once the iron has cooled off completely. To protect the soleplate always store the iron on its heel. Mad 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 inexpensive spring water. Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak. e in Germ any 7 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. 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. [. . . ] Never use 100% pure distilled water. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Vapodur Valve: The patented Vapodur valve ensures that the opening which allows the water to drip from the water tank into the steam chamber of your iron remains unaffected by hard water deposits. To ensure your iron continues to steam efficiently the valve MUST be opened and closed a few times. This is done by moving the variable steam control left to right a few times each time you finish ironing. When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. [. . . ]
