DESCRIPTION

1 • Water recommendations

Tap water :

Rowenta irons are designed to be used

with UNTREATED TAP WATER. If your

water is very hard, Rowenta recommends

mixing half untreated tap water with half

distilled water which reduces the

hardness.

Softened water :

There are many types of household water

softeners and the water from many of

them is perfectly acceptable for use in the

steam generator.

However, some types of softeners,

particularly those that use chemicals such

as salt, can cause the appliance to leak or

spit during use, this is notably the case

with filtering jugs. Therefore we would

not recommend using this type of water.

If you experience this type of problem,

we recommend that you try using

untreated tap water or store-bought

distilled water which can be mixed 50%

distilled with 50% 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 that can be discarded to avoid

potentially damaging your clothes.

Always remember :

Heat concentrates the elements in water

during evaporation. The types of water

listed below may contain organic waste,

mineral or chemical elements that that

can cause spitting, brown staining or

premature wear of the appliance: water

from clothes dryers, scented or softened

water, water from refrigerators, batteries,

air conditioners, rain water, boiled,

filtered or bottled water. These types of

water should not be used in your

ROWENTA iron.

2 • Preparing your steam

generator

Place the steam generator on a flat,

stable, horizontal and heat-resistant

surface. Remove the water tank using the

handle (on the front of the steam

generator).

Fill the tank with water, taking care not to

exceed the maximum level - fig.1.

Slide the tank back into its housing until

its “clicks” into place.

Unwind the electrical power cord

completely and remove the steam cord

from its housing - fig.2.

Plug your steam generator into a mains

socket with an earth pin - fig.3.

Ironing Boards:

Due to the powerful steam output, a

mesh type ironing board must be used to

allow any excess steam to escape and to

avoid steam venting sideways.
