IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the iron.
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the iron in water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to Minimum (Min)
before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank
cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around
iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling
iron with water or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of
electric shock, do not disassemble the iron, take it to the
nearest authorized Rowenta Appliance Service Center for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used
by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while
connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water
or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside
down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9.
The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by
Rowenta Appliance Company and may result in fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is a 1400 watt appliance (check rating on iron heel).
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12- ampere
cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that
it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
3. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household use
only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
Please read the instructions for use and the Important
M
Safeguards carefully.
Remove the soleplate sticker or transparent soleplate
M
protector.
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced
M
the first time the iron is used. This will quickly disappear.
3-WAY AUTO-OFF
If the iron is not moved while it
M
30 sec.
is switched on, an internal safety
switch will turn it off. It will turn
off in 8 minutes if left vertically
8 min.
or in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tipped over. A red flashing light indicates that the auto-
30 sec.
off has been activated. To switch
the iron on again, move the iron
or gently shake it.
Wait until iron is fully reheated
M
before use.
Auto-off is not an on/off switch. Always unplug the iron
when not in use.

Removing the tank
Ensure the iron is unplugged,
M
and allow it to cool down.
Push steam control fully to the
M
left (to the min position).
Press tank release button and
M
remove tank.
Filling with water
Open the water tank inlet lid.
M
Hold tank at an angle so that the
M
filler opening is horizontal. Add
tap water (containing no additives) through the filler opening
until it reaches the max. mark.
After filling, close the lid and
M
replace the tank until it clicks
firmly into place.
SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
To avoid damage to clothes from
dust or dirt that may collect in the
m
i
n
iron, we recommend that for the
first use or after the iron has been
stored for some time that you first
iron an old cloth, testing both the
steam and burst of steam feature.
Set the temperature control dial
according to the type of fabric you
are ironing. Check the fabric's label
for appropriate setting.
● synthetics (low temperature)
●● silk, wool (medium temperature)
●●● cotton, linen (high temperature)
To avoid an automatic switch off while the iron is heating
up, always keep the iron on its heel. Start at low temperature
and graduate to high temperature. For delicate fabrics we
recommend carrying out a test on an unobstrusive part of
the garment (inner seam).
Slowly pull cord out of reel by plug. Pull cord until it is
M
fully extended being sure not to yank cord.
Plug into outlet. The pilot light will turn on to indicate the
M
iron is heating. When the pilot light goes out the iron is
ready to use.
Warning:
Never iron clothes while they are being worn.
