IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using 1. Only use an iron for its intended use. 2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. 3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet.
safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. 12. Children should be supervised by the responsible person to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 13. The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface; 14. When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable; 15. The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
2 • Helpful Hints - When ironing start with fabrics that require a low temperature setting (•) and finish with those which need the highest temperature (•••). - Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for the most delicate fabric. For example a shirt that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester should be ironed at the (•) setting for synthetics. - If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing by setting garment aside for 30 seconds.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner condensed water from driers) may not be used. Such additives can affect the properties of the steam and, at high temperatures, can form deposits in the steam chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents. Descaling liquids/agents should not be used. 4 • Filling with Water - Ensure the iron is unplugged. - Slide the variable steam control completely to the left.
Ironing label Temperature control Fabric Synthetic fibers e.g. viscose, polyester Silk, wool Cotton, linen IMPORTANT! The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric. TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric and wait 30 seconds before ironing to allow starch to be absorbed.
8 • Auto Steam* or steam output to be automatically adjusted to the F soleplate temperature, turn the steam control to the AUTO position. 9 • Burst of Steam his feature is ideal for removing stubborn wrinkles or T pressing in sharp creases. When the temperature control is set to a steam setting (•• or •••) the burst of steam can be used. Press the button to generate a burst of steam. Leave an interval of at least four seconds between bursts.
12 • Anti-Drip System* 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 the soleplate. The Anti-Drip system automatically switches off the steam when ironing at low temperatures to prevent spitting. 13 • 3-Way Smart Automatic Shut-Off* 30 sec. 8 min. If your iron is equipped with Auto-Off and the iron is not moved while plugged in, an internal safety switch will turn it off.
- Move the iron gently back and forth and side to side until all water has run through plate. - Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with an old towel, as the water and minerals can stain the soleplate (although this has no effect on glide or performance). WARNING! Iron and soleplate may still be very hot. Exercise care while wiping. - Place iron on heel and leave to cool. Before using iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth than can be discarded.
19 • Cleaning the Soleplate Rowenta soleplates have excellent non-stick properties and can be wiped clean when cold. - In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent build-up, 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. The Rowenta kit is also available through our website: www.rowentausa.
20 • Troubleshooting Issues Iron does not heat. Not enough steam. Possible causes The temperature control is set too low. Set the temperature control to a higher temperature. Not properly plugged in. Check that iron is plugged in correctly. Auto-off has engaged*. Move iron or shake it gently to reactivate. There is insufficient water in the tank. Fill the water tank. Iron is not set to a steam setting. The Anti-Drip function is active *. Iron is emitting a brown or white substance.
