Safety instructions
Dear customer,
thank you for purchasing this appliance. Please read the operating instruc-
tions carefully and keep them in a safe place.
Before use
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, REMOVE THE SOLEPLATE PROTECTOR.
Before using the iron for the first time:
– Heat the appliance at the maximum setting without water (see D).
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only tem-
porary. The water tank can then be filled directly with untreated tap
water using a jug (see C).
– Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit steam for at least
the first 1 minute. During this time press the power steam button from
time to time to release several bursts of steam. Any particles released
through the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due to
the newness of your iron.
• The appliance complies with EU directives 72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
• The appliance may only be connected to alternating current as
specified on the rating plate.
• An electrical appliance is not a toy. Use and store the appliance out of
reach of children. Do not let the supply cord hang down.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is connected to the
mains supply.
• Electrical appliances generate high temperatures. Always use the
handles provided and warn other users of the potential dangers (e.g.
escaping steam or hot water, especially when ironing vertically).
• Never iron clothing which is being worn.
• Always disconnect the appliance:
– before filling or emptying the water tank;
– before leaving the room (even for a short time);
– after use.
• Never unplug the appliance by tugging on the cord.
• Only use an extension lead or cord reel which is rated at 10A or
greater and has an earth.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water.
• An electrical appliance should not be used if:
– the appliance, the supply cord or the cord protector is damaged;
– the appliance has been dropped;
– the appliance is obviously leaking. In this case the appliance should
be returned to an approved Rowenta Service Dealer for repair. (See
enclosed list for addresses.)
• Repairs to electrical appliances may only be carried out by specialists.
Improperly carried out repairs can cause serious danger to users. To
avoid danger to users, a defective or damaged supply cord may only
be replaced by an authorised Rowenta service centre.
