Before use
B
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, REMOVETHE SOLE-
PLATE PROTECTOR AND DISCARD.
Before using the iron for the first time:
– Heat the appliance at the maximum setting without
water (see D). A little smoke and a slight smell may be
emitted, but this is only temporary.The water tank can
then be filled directly with untreated tap water using a
jug (see C).
– Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit
steam for at least 1 minute. During this time press the
power steam button from time to time to release
several bursts of steam. Any particles released through
the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due
to the newness of your iron
C Filling the water tank
Before filling the water tank, unplug from the mains and
set the steam control to the position.
Tilt the iron and pour in untreated tap water up to the
maximum level ( ).
➓
What water may be used?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated
tap water. However, if your water is very hard, you can
mix it 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or
demineralised water.
Do no add anything to the contents of the water tank
and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water.These
contain organic waste or mineral elements that become
concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown
staining or premature wear to your iron.
Tip: Spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be
ironed.

Please note:When heating up the iron from cold, wait
until the thermostat light has gone out a second time.
Only then is the set temperature reached.

Tip:We recommend that you start with fabrics to be
ironed at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to
cool down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the
temperature for the most delicate fabrics.
Ironing and Steam functions
E1 Dry ironing

type of material (care points •, •• or •••).
E2 Steam ironing
You can steam iron by setting the temperature in the marked
steam zone (after ).The steam quantity can be set to

between
(no steam position) and
(maximum steam
quantity). We recommend setting to maximum steam
quantity only when the iron is set at temperature setting •••.
E3 Shot steam button (temperature setting after •• in the steam
zone)
To generate a powerful jet of steam to remove stubborn
creases, press the power steam button.
Vertical steam ironing (temperature setting after •• in the
steam zone)
Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, han-
ging curtains etc.
Important:
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!
• Hang the garment on a hanger
• Set the thermostat control to maximum steam
• Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment
to avoid burning delicate fabrics
• Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the
iron from top to bottom
The power steam and vertical steam functions (E3) are
also possible to use if the steam control is set to the
position.The interval between bursts of steam should be
about4 seconds.
Important: Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
Do not touch delicate fabrics with the hot soleplate!
E4 Spray function
To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button.

Additional functions
F1 Self Clean – prolongs the life of the iron
The Self clean function flushes dirt and scale particles
out of the steam chamber.
To operate:
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water up to the maxi-
mum mark and heat the iron to max. temperature.
• Unplug from the mains.
• Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam control
(
) past the
position and into the Self Clean posi-

tion and hold it there: steam will now begin to build up.
After a few seconds water and steam will emerge from
the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber.

• After approx. 1 minute move the steam control slide to
the position.
• Insert mains plug and allow the iron to heat up again.
• Wait until the remaining water has evaporated.
• Unplug from the mains and allow iron to fully cool
down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp
cloth.
We recommend using the Self Clean function approx.
Every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, the iron should
be cleaned weekly.
Self Clean Valve
The self clean valve prevents the drip hole into the steam
chamber from furring or blocking up.To ensure the iron
continues to function properly, open and close the valve
by sliding the steam control to max then min a few times
after use.
F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale
deposits.This considerably prolongs the operational life
of you iron.The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of
the water tank and does not need to be replaced.
Do not use descaling agents, as they will damage the
lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the
steam function.
F3 Anti-Drip System (depending on model)
If the temperature is set too low, the iron cannot produce
steam because of the anti-drip technology which pre-
vents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

After ironing
• Unplug from the mains, pour away remaining water
and set steam control to .Then allow the appliance to
cool down.
• Do not wind the cord round a hot soleplate.
• Use the integrated cord winding facility for storage.
• Store the iron standing on its heel.
Cleaning and maintenance
When cool, the iron and the soleplate can be wiped with
a damp cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or
sharp objects to clean the soleplate. Depending on the
model, if the soleplate is stainless steel it can be cleaned
using a Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Stick.
Important:
If the appliance has been standing unused for long peri-
ods, hold it horizontally and allow it to emit steam for 1
minute to clean the steam ducts and remove any residue
from the iron.
