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

M

Please read all of the instructions for use and the Important
Safeguards carefully.

M

Remove all packaging from the generator.

M

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

M

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.

M

When ironing start with fabrics that require a low
temperature setting (

●) and finish with those which need

the highest temperature (

● ● ●).

M

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.

M

If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the
garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing.

M

For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
excess steam to escape.

M

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.
