Vertical steam jet
The iron can be used vertically. This is ideal for removing wrinkles from clothing
on hangers, curtains, wall tapestries, etc.
Important!
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn.
DRY IRONING
Push the variable steam control fully to the left (Position “min“).
AFTER IRONING
Unplug the iron. Set the variable steam control to max. and empty any water left in
tank. Then set the variable steam control to min. and leave the iron to cool down.
Iron with cord storage
For storage the supply cord can be wrapped around the integrated cord
storage feature once the iron has cooled off completely.
Always store the iron on its heel to protect the soleplate.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
When necessary use a damp cloth to clean the cool iron, then wipe dry.
Read the information in POINTS TO NOTE.
Cleaning the soleplate
For the stainless steel soleplate we recommend the Rowenta soleplate cleaner
PC05. This is available from Rowenta dealers.
The high quality soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier and protects your
laundry. When not being used the iron should always be placed on its heel.
Do not rest it on a rough surface. Do not scratch or scrape the soleplate. Do
not use strong or abrasive detergents for cleaning.
Self-clean function
It is important to activate the iron's Self clean function every two weeks to
clean the steam chamber. If the water in your area is very hard we recom-
mend weekly cleaning. Fill the tank to half, push the steam control slide fully
to the left and allow the iron to heat up to maximum temperature.
Hold the iron horizontally over a sink, press the self-clean button beyound
the max. position to “Self-clean“ and hold it there.
Initially a great deal of steam will be expelled. After a few seconds this is fol-
lowed by steam and water, which rinses dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber. Release the self-clean button after about 1 minute on position
min. Unplug the iron, allow it to cool off completely and wipe the soleplate
with a damp cloth. Plug in the iron again, allow it to heat up and hold it over
the sink for a moment to release steam.
The self-clean function helps prevent the drip opening in the steam chamber
from becoming blocked or affected by scale. Keep the function working well
by opening and closing the valve several times each time you have used the
iron (activate the steam control slide).
Long-term descaling (Long-Life Anticalc System)
Your iron is fitted with a special descaling system in the water tank, which allows
you to use tap water in the tank, regardless of hardness. You can also use distilled
water or the Rowenta demineraliser PC010. For distilled water we recommend
mixing it in a 1:1 ratio with tap water.
