2. Children should not use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected to a power source.
3. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord, plug or
steam hose or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance. Return
appliance to nearest authorized service center for examination,
repair or adjustment. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the appliance is used.
4. To avoid a ciruit overload, do not operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
5. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam
vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from
body and operating.
6. Steam only in an up and down vertical motion. Never use steamer in a horizontal position or tilt into a backward position, this
may result in water discharge.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
8. Appliance should always be turned off before unplugging.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug
and pull to disconnect.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is a 1500 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate a high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, the marked electrical
rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. 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. Do not cut or attempt to extend the steaming hose.

Tips
Thank you for purchasing the Rowenta Commercial Garment
Steamer.
Vertical Steamers are designed to refresh garments after
hanging or folding, and to remove wrinkles from items that
are delicate or difficult to iron. Steamers are not intended to
replace an iron. To view the full range of Rowenta steam
irons, visit www.rowenta.com.
Here are some helpful tips to consider before using your
new steamer.
• Check the fabrics label for recommendations on care.
• Test fabric for color fastness on an unobtrusive part of the
garment (inner seam) before steaming.
• Do not touch silk or velvet with steam head.
• Some articles can be steamed better from the underside.
• If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose
up an out frequently to keep clear condensation. If hose
becomes clogged, it will make a gurgling noise.
• Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming.
• Exercise caution at all times.
Before use
• Please read the instructions for use and
Important Safeguards carefully.
Remove any packaging from the appliance.
•
• Do not plug in or turn on until assembly
is complete.
• Assemble the support rod by screwing
the individual pieces together.
Insert support rod in the hole on top of
•
the main unit and screw it in a clockwise
direction by hand until it is firmly in
place.
•
Attach the hanger head to the rod and
secure by pressing down until it clicks in
place. A rubber mallet may be used to
gently tap top of hanger head until it locks.
The hanger head will still rotate, for
convenience, even when in place.
Attach the hose
to the base unit
by placing the
hose connector
over the base
connector. Secure
by pressing down
until it clicks into
place.

Disconnection of hose
To disconnect the hose from the base unit, firmly grasp
the hose connector at indentations.
Gently pull up on hose connector until hose releases.
Auto off
The Auto-off function prevents unit from overheating, but
does not switch-off the appliance.
Do not use as on/off switch.
Filling with water
• The steamer can 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 inexpensive bottled spring water; or 100%
distilled water.
• Battery water and water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used in
the steamer. Such additives can affect the properties of
the steam and can form deposits.
• Be sure that unit is unplugged. Remove
water tank from main unit by pulling
up. Unscrew the cover and fill. Do not
fill above the max line at the water
tank. Water tank capacity is 3,785 litres
(
1 gallon).
• Screw cover back onto tank when filled.
• Firmly place tank back on the main
unit.
Use
Warning: Never steam clothes while they are being worn.
Hose and steam head will become hot during use. This is
normal. Use caution and avoid prolonged contact.
• Place steamer on a flat, level surface. Do not block vents
on bottom of unit.
• Plug in cord and activate the power switch by hand
or foot. The power indicator light will illuminate once
steamer is turned on.
• Wait for the steam to come out. It will take approximately
90 seconds.
• Put garment onto the hanger head. Grasp the steam
head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start
steaming by touching material lightly with steaming head
and moving in an up/down vertical motion. Begin at the
bottom of the garment and move in an upward direction.
Steam with hose in an upright position. If steaming in
a low position near floor, straighten hose up and out
FREQUENTLY to keep clear of condensation. This allows
any condensation to flow back into the steamer.
• During operation, the steamer hose may make a gurgling
noise. This is a normal result of condensation. If it begins
to gurgle, extend hose up and out to move excess
moisture back into the base.
DO NOT ALLOW STEAMER TO RUN DRY
Be sure unit is unplugged and completely cool before
attaching accessories.
Fabric Brush
• Gently brush the area to be steamed with the grain or
nap of the fabric.
• Remove the fabric brush once unit is unplugged and
completely cool. Remove it by pressing on the release
button on top of the brush while pulling it forward.
The fabric brush opens the weave of the
fabric for better steam penetration.
• Be sure unit is unplugged and
completely cool before attaching
accessories.
• Attach the fabric brush to the steam
head by lining up the bottom of the
brush with the bottom of the steam
head. Gently push the top of the brush
into place on the steam head until it
clicks into place.
After use
• After using the steamer, switch the power switch to the off
position (power indicator light will go out) and unplug the
appliance. Empty water tank when not in use. Some water
may accumulate and remain in base. This is normal.
• Hang steam head in an upright position in hanger head
when not in use. Loop cord loosely around integrated cord
storage bar.
• Carry the steamer by integrated carry handle and not by
the water tank handle. You can also roll unit to storage
area or carry from underneath the main unit.
Warning: Never touch the steam head until it cools
completely.
Cleaning
Remove water tank and clean the main unit with a damp
cloth. To maintain maximum performance, your steamer
must be descaled occasionally. The descaling intervals will
depend on the water quality and the frequency of use. The
unit should be descaled at least once a year or every 100
hours of use.
For descaling, proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the unit and remove water tank from main unit
by pulling up.
2. Fill the tank with fresh water and shake vigorously to
remove any scale. Pour out the water and repeat if
necessary.
3. Purchase a quality decalcifier agent and follow the instructions of the manufacturer for the proper ratio of the
mixture to water and use.
4. After filling the water tank turn it up and down to
descale.
5. Attach reservoir to unit, plug in and switch on
6. Let the appliance run until the water tank is almost
empty. Do not steam any clothing with this mixture.
7.
Unplug and detach the water tank. Rinse it with fresh
water.
8. Fill water tank with fresh water and repeat steps 5 and 6.
Note: If after descaling you believe that there is still buildup in the
boiler, repeat steps 1–8.
