1 • Safety lock (according to model)
• Your steam station is equipped with a
safety lock that holds the iron on to the
base unit in order to facilitate transport
and storage:
• Pull up – fig. 1.
• Push down – fig. 2.
The safety lock allows you to carry your
steam station by the iron handle:
- place the iron on the iron rest of the steam
station and lock it into place (you will hear
an audible “click” sound) – fig. 1.
- Hold the iron by its handle in order to
transport your steam station - fig. 3.
2 • Water recommendations
Tap water
• Rowenta steam stations are designed to
be used with UNTREATED TAP WATER. If
your water is very hard, Rowenta
recommends mixing half untreated tap
water with half distilled water which
reduces the hardness.
Softened water :
• There are many types of household water
softeners and the water from many of
them is perfectly acceptable for use in the
steam station. However, some types of
softeners, particularly those that use
chemicals such as salt, can cause the
appliance to leak or spit during use, this is
notably the case with filtering jugs.
Therefore we would not recommend
using this type of water.
• If you experience this type of problem, we
recommend that you try using untreated
tap water or store-bought distilled water
which can be mixed 50% distilled with
50% untreated tap 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 potentially
damaging your clothes.
Always remember :
• Heat concentrates the elements in water
during evaporation. The types of water
listed below may contain organic waste,
mineral or chemical elements that can
cause spitting, brown staining or
premature wear of the appliance: water
from clothes dryers, scented or softened
water, water from refrigerators, batteries,
air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered
or bottled water. These types of water
should not be used in your ROWENTA
steam station.
3 • Preparing your steam
station
• Place the steam station on a flat, stable,
horizontal and heat-resistant surface.

USE
4 • Switching on your steam
station
• Press on the on / off switch - fig. 8, it
begins flashing. The green light located
on the control panel flashes
• When starting, and regularly while it is
being used, your steam station's electric
pump injects water into the boiler. It makes
a noise but this is quite normal.
•
The steam station and the iron are ready for
use when the steam indicator light is on and
the iron light goes out.
5 • Operating the control
panel
•
Flashing green light -
fig. 8
: the water is
heating up in the boiler.
•
Continuous green light -
fig. 10
: steam is
ready for use.
•
Flashing red light -
fig. 13
: the tank is
empty.
• The
“Calc Away System” or the “boiler
rinse" orange indicator flashes -
fig. 15 or
fig. 21
(according to model) : the collector /
boiler needs to be rinsed.
6 • Using your steam station
• Place the iron’s temperature control - fig.
9 to the type of fabric to be ironed (see
table below).
• The iron temperature control light turns
on. Important: whenever you start using
your iron and whenever you reduce the
temperature during use, the iron is ready
for use when its indicator light goes out
and when the green light located on the
control panel comes on and remains on.
• During use, when you increase the
temperature of the iron, you can start
ironing immediately.
• ECO Mode: Your steam
station has an ECO mode function which
uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a
sufficient steam output for you to iron your
garments properly.
In order to use this function, once the
thermostat of your iron has been correctly
set (see table above), press on the ECO
button located on the control panel.
The ECO mode can be used on all types of
fabrics, nevertheless for very thick or very
creased fabrics we recommend that you
deactivate ECO mode (by pressing the
ECO button again) to guarantee the best
results.
• During ironing the iron indicator light
switches on and off according to heating
requirements but this has no effect on
use.
• To obtain steam, press on the steam
control button beneath the iron handle
and keep it pressed - fig. 11. The steam
will stop when you release the button.
• Always spray starch on the reverse side of
the fabric to be ironed.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be some fumes and a slight
smell this is not harmful and will quickly
disappear.

7 • Vertical steam ironing
• Set the temperature of the iron to the max
position.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and
hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• Press repeatedly on the steam - fig.11
control button (beneath the iron handle)
moving the iron from top to bottom - fig. 12.
Examples of how to use the vertical
steaming function:
• Removing creases directly on hangers
from delicate fabrics that you do not want
to bring into contact with the hot iron.
• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before
putting it on.
8 • Dry ironing
• Do not press the steam control button.
9 • Fill the water tank again
• When there is no more steam and the
“Water tank empty” light flashes - fig. 13:
the water tank is empty.
• Remove the water tank using the handle
(on the front of the steam station) - fig. 14
and fill it - fig. 5 do not fill above the Max.
level.
• Push the water tank into position until it
“clicks” into place. Press the Restart
button located on the control panel. The
red light turns off.
• The steam station and the iron are ready
for use when the steam indicator light is
on and the iron temperature control light
goes out.
10 • Storing the steam station
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it.
Place the iron on the iron rest on the
steam station. Lock the iron onto the base
unit by pressing it until you hear an
audible “click”, so your iron is secure
(according to model) – fig 1. Fold the
steam cord in two and place it in its
housing. Wind up the power cord and
attach it with the velcro.
• Leave the steam station to cool for at least
one hour before putting it away if it is to
be stored in a cupboard or confined
space. You can then store your steam
station safely.
Iron temperature control setting: Your
iron is quick to heat up so start with
fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature and finish with those
which need higher temperatures.
Mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing
temperature to the setting for the
most delicate fabric. For delicate
fabrics (•), press the steam control
button (under the handle of the iron)
intermittently to avoid any water
droplets appearing with the steam.
If you set your thermostat to “min”,
the iron will not become hot.
When taking a break from ironing,
never place the iron on a metal rest
plate, which could damage the iron
rest plate of the unit. It is equipped
with non-slip pads and has been
designed to withstand high
temperatures.
Recommendations: To prime the steam
circuit, either before using the iron for
the first time, or if you have not used the
steam function for a few minutes, press
the steam control button several times
in a row – fig.11, holding the iron away
from your clothes. This will enable any
cold water to be removed from the
steam circuit.
As steam is very hot: never attempt
to remove creases from a garment
while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger. For
fabrics other than linen or cotton,
hold the iron a few centimetres from
the garment to avoid burning the
fabric.
If this occurs, remove the excess
water.

MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
CLEANING
11 • Cleaning the station
• The iron soleplate: Clean the soleplate of
your iron when it is cool with a damp
cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
• The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of
the appliance occasionally with a soft
cloth.
12 • Easy descaling of your
steam station
For models with scale collector.
• To extend the life of your steam station
and avoid scale on your ironing, your
steam station is equipped with a built-in
scale collector. This collector, located in
the boiler, automatically removes the
scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange “Calc-Away System” light
located - fig. 15 on the control panel starts
flashing to tell you that the scale collector
needs rinsing.
• Once the steam station has cooled
completely, remove the scale collector
cover - fig. 16.
• Unscrew the scale collector and remove it
from the housing; it contains the scale
that has built up in the tank - fig. 17.
• To clean the collector properly, just rinse it
under running water to remove the scale
it contains - fig. 18.
• Put the collector back into its housing and
screw it in completely to keep it watertight
- fig. 19.
• Put the scale collector cover back on - fig.
20.
In addition to this regular maintenance
procedure, we recommend that you rinse
the boiler completely once every 6 months,
or once every 25 times you use your steam
station.
• Make sure that the steam station has
been unplugged and allowed to cool for
at least 2 hours.
• Place the steam station on the edge of
your sink and the iron to one side, on its
heel.
• Remove the collector cover and unscrew
the scale collector - fig. 16-17.
• Hold your steam station at an angle and
use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of
tap water.- fig. 24.
• Shake the base unit for a few seconds
then empty it completely into the sink.-
fig. 25-26.
• Fit the collector back in its housing and
screw it on tightly to ensure it is
watertight but do not overtighten it - fig.
19.
• Put the scale collector cover back in
place.- fig. 20.
Models without scale collector
• To prolong the life of your steam station
and prevent the release of scale on to
your ironing, your steam station is fitted
with an orange "Boiler rinse” light that
flashes on the control panel when you
need to drain the appliance - fig. 21.
• If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light
flashes, you can continue ironing
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial descaling
products, etc.) when rinsing the scale
collector: they could damage it.
Before emptying your steam station,
it must always be left to cool for 2
hours to avoid any risks of scalding.
Do not use any cleaning or descaling
products for cleaning the soleplate
or the base-unit. Never hold the iron
or the base unit under the tap.
IMPORTANT! This operation must not
be carried out unless the steam station
has been unplugged for at least two
hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out this operation, the
steam station must be close to a sink
as water may come out of the tank
when it is opened.
The next time you use your iron,
press the “Restart” button on the
control panel to turn off the orange
“Calc-Away System” light.
