Rowenta DG 580 Iron User Manual


 
BEFORE USE
˾
Please read all of the instructions for use and the Important
Safeguards carefully.
˾
Remove all packaging from the generator.
˾
It is normal for a small amount of smoke and a light odor to
be produced the first time it is used. This will quickly
disappear.
HELPFUL HINTS
˾
Before using the generator for the first time or if you have
not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the
steam button several times in a row while holding the iron
away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to
be removed from the steam connection cord.
˾
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.
˾
For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
excess steam to escape.
˾
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on
an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
