Filling the water tank
• Ensure that the steamer is unplugged.
Remove the water tank from the base of
the appliance by pulling it upwards.
Unscrew the lid and fill the tank.
The tank holds 128 ounces.
• The steamer is designed to be used with
TAP WATER . If the water in your area is
hard, Rowenta recommends that you mix
half tap water and half distilled water,
which reduces the hardness; or just use
inexpensive bottled spring water.
• After closing the lid, place the water tank
on the base of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Never use water that contains additives
(starch, perfume, aromatic substances,
softener, etc) in the steamer. Additives
such as these can affect the properties
of the steam and lead to the formation
of deposits.
Tips
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recom-
mendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an unobtrusive
area such as an inner seam.
• Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the
labels of the clothing to be steamed.
• Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment that
is not visible (inside of a hem).
• Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• If you are using the steam head at a position close to the ground, raise the
hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation.
You may hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
• Be careful at all times.
