Dry Ironing
To iron without steam, slide the steam control lever to the
off position. We recommend dry ironing with an empty
tank. Set the temperature for the type of material to be
ironed.
Anti Calc System
Minerals in water can build up in the steam chamber. The
Anti Calc system contains a special resin that neutralizes
the harmful minerals. This system is designed to extend
and maintain the high steam performance of the iron. The
cartridge is not replaceable.
Note: Do not use descaling agents in your iron.
Anti-Drip System
In order to produce steam, all irons require a high
temperature. If the soleplate is not hot enough some
of the water will not turn to steam and can spit or leak
from the soleplate. The anti-drip system automatically
switches off the steam when ironing at low temperatures
to prevent spitting.
After Ironing
1. Turn the temperature dial to the min setting. Slide the
steam lever to the no steam position.
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Place the iron on its heel and allow to cool completely.
4. Empty water from the appliance before storing. We
recommend emptying the iron when not in use.
5. To protect the soleplate, we recommend storing iron on
its heel.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged
and completely cooled down.
Never use household cleaners, abrasive cleaning pads or
solvents.
Cleaning the Soleplate
Rowenta soleplates have excellent non-stick properties and
can be wiped clean when cold.
• In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the
soleplate (starch, detergent build-up, burnt synthetic
fibers). This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta
Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate
cleaner available at most stores. The Rowenta kit is also
available through our website: www.rowentausa.com
• To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over
sharp objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on
rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch
the soleplate.
