Steam ironing
Warning!
Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.
Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.
Before ironing for the first time, fill iron and allow to heat.
The iron should be allowed to emit steam for 1 to 2 minu-
tes while pressing the extra long steam button a few times
to remove any impurities. This should also be done if iron
is not used regularly.

Water Recommendations
Tap water
Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULAR TAP
WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder
than this, Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with
half distilled water which reduces the hardness; or just use
bottled spring water. Never use 100 % distilled water as
this can cause the iron to spit and leak.

Softened water
There are many types of household water softeners and the
water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in
an iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those
that use chemicals such as salt, can cause the appliance to
leak or spit during use. If you experience this type of problem,
we recommend that you try using bottled spring water or
untreated tap water. Never use 100 % distilled 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 damaging your clothes.

Iron and other impurities
If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or
organic matter, these minerals can collect inside the
appliance and eventually appear as brown stains. If you
experience these problems Rowenta recommends using
bottled spring water. Never use 100 % pure distilled water.

Always remember:
Battery water and water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume or fabric conditioner condensed water
from driers) may not be used. Such additives can affect the
properties of the steam and, at high temperatures, can
form deposits in the steam chamber, which will mark the
laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents.
Descaling liquids / agents should not be used.

Anti-Drip System (depending on model)
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.

3 Way Auto-Off (depending on model)
If your iron is equipped with auto-off and
the iron is not moved while it is plugged in,
an internal safety switch will turn it off. It
will turn off in 8 minutes if left vertically or
in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tip-
ped over.
The auto-off light will remain on and lit
during ironing.
