IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the generator.

1. Use appliance only for its intended use.

2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.

3. The appliance should always be turned off before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

4. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying when not in use.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.

6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if appliance has been dropped or damaged.

7. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the appliance. Ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta approved service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the appliance is used.

8. Not intended for use by children. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near children. Unsupervised use can result in fire or personal injury. Do not leave appliance unattended while plugged in, on an ironing board, or while it is still hot.

9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam generator upside down. There may be hot water in the reservoir.

10. Never attempt to unscrew the boiler cap while the appliance is in use. The strong steam pressure could result in burns. Only unscrew when generator is cold or there is no more pressure in the boiler.

11. Do not direct steam at people, animals or iron clothes while they are being worn.

12. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Rowenta and may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.

13. Always put the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest, never resting on its heel.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This is a 1745 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload,

do not operate a high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

2. This unit comes equipped with a 12.5 foot power cord and 6 foot steam connection cord.

3. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 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 unintentionally.

4. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE

Please read all of the instructions for use and the Important

Safeguards carefully. Remove all packaging from the generator.

It is normal for a small amount of smoke and a light odor to

be produced the first time it is used. This will quickly disappear.

HELPFUL HINTS

Before using the generator for the first time or if you have

not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam button several times in a row while holding the iron away from your clothes. This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam connection cord. When ironing start with fabrics that require a low

temperature setting ( the highest temperature ( Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for

● ● ●).

the most delicate fabric. For example a shirt that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester should be ironed at the (

●)

setting for synthetics. If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the

garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing. For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow

excess steam to escape. For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on

an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.

FILLING THE BOILER

The steam generator is designed to operate using tap water. Please review Water Recommendations section for additional water information.

1. While unplugged, place the steam generator on a stable, horizontal, heat resistant surface.

2. Unscrew the boiler cap.

3. Using a water pitcher, fill with 33oz. of water. Do not fill water tank past the base of the boiler cap thread. Do not overfill. Be sure that water does not spill over. If this occurs remove the excess water.

4. Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly.
