[. . . ] Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. [. . . ] Ensure iron is fully reheated after filling (temperature indicator light goes out) before ironing. SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE 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. Set the temperature control dial according to the type of fabric you are ironing. Check the fabric's label for appropiate setting. Synthetics (low temperature) Silk/wool (medium temperature) Cotton/linen (high temperature) DE 873 Professional USA Made in Germany 5 To avoid automatic switch off while the iron is heating up, always keep the iron on its heel. Start at low temperature and graduate to high temperature. For delicate fabrics we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam). SETTING VARIABLE STEAM CONTROL Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can only be produced when the thermostat is in the red cotton/linen zone. Allow iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the variable steam control. Reduce or set variable steam to min when ironing at low temperatures to avoid water leakage or spitting. Iron ready for steam ironing: Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held horizontally. Steam off: Steam generation can be interrupted by standing the iron on its heel or sliding the variable steam control fully to the left. SPRAY SETTING Ensure there is water in the tank. Moistening the fabric with the spray will make wrinkle removal easier. Press the spray button down slowly for a jet or quickly and strongly for a mist. Do not spray silk, etc. 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. [. . . ] Cleaning the Soleplate (depending on model): Rowenta stainless steel and Titan Plus 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. [. . . ]
