Filling the water tank
• 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; you may also use bottled
spring water or distilled water only.
• Ensure that the device 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.
• After closing the lid, place the water
tank into place 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
recommendations. 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 your steamer in 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.
