venting sideways.
BEFORE USE
1 • Water recommendations
Tap water
Rowenta irons are designed to be used
with REGULAR TAP WATER (up to 12
grains per gallon of hardness – contact
your local water company). 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.
Softened water
There are many types of household
water softeners and the water from many
of them is perfectly acceptable for use in
the Pro Precision 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. If you experience
this type of problem, we recommend that
you try using inexpensive bottled spring
water or 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 :
Water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume or fabric conditioner)
will not be used. Such additives can
affect the properties of the steam and at
high temperatures can form deposits in
the steam chamber which may mark the
laundry when they are emitted through
the steam vents.
2 • Filling the Pro Precision
steam station
The Pro Precision steam station is
designed to operate using tap water.
While unplugged, place the Pro Precision
steam station on a stable, heat resistant
surface.
Open the water tank cover. Fill the tank
with a maximum of 33oz./1L of water,
taking care not to overfill (fig. 1). Close
the water tank cover. Completely unwind
the power cord and remove the steam
cord from its housing. (fig. 2)
Please read all of the instructions for
use and the Important Safeguards
carefully.Remove all packaging from
the product. 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.
Descaling liquids/agents should not be
used.

USE
3 • Turning on and off
Plug the Pro Precision steam station into
a 120 volt electric outlet (Fig. 3) and it will
automatically turn on.
The iron light will turn on and the steam
ready light will flash (fig. 4). When the Pro
Precision steam station is in use, the
electric pump will make a humming noise
as it pulls water into the boiler to produce
steam. This noise is normal. The Pro
Precision steam station is ready to use
when the steam ready indicator light
stops flashing, (approximately 3
minutes).
During ironing the temperature indicator
light for the iron will turn on and off. This
is normal as the temperature is being
regulated. The unit is still on when this
light goes out.
4 • Operating the control
panel
• Flashing green light: the water is
heating up in the boiler (fig.4)
• Continuous green light: steam is ready
for use (fig.6)
• Continuous red light: the water tank is
empty (fig.9).
• Orange « Calc-Away System » light
flashes you must rinse your scale
collector (fig.11).
5 • Using your Pro Precision
steam station
Place the iron’s temperature control
(fig.5) to the type of fabric to be ironed -
see table below. The iron temperature
control light turns on.
While ironing, the light on top of the iron
will turn on and off, as the temperature is
maintained without interrupting ironing.
To obtain steam, press on the steam
trigger beneath the iron handle and keep
it pressed (fig.7). The steam will stop
when you release the trigger.
If using starch always spray it on the
reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
Table 1
6 • Vertical steam ironing
Set the iron temperature control to the
maximum position. Hang the garment on
a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly
taut with one hand. Pull repeatedly the
steam trigger (beneath the iron handle)
moving the iron from top to bottom (fig.8).
The water tank can be filled at any time
during use. When refilling take care not
to overfill the tank.
Iron temperature control setting: Start
with fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature and finish with those
which need higher temperatures. Each
time you change fabrics, wait for the
light to turn off. Mixed fiber fabrics: set
the ironing temperature to the setting
for the most delicate fabric. Woollen
garments: pull repeatedly the steam
control trigger to obtain short bursts of
steam, while holding the iron one inch
from the garment. This will avoid
making the fabric shiny. For delicate
fabrics, pull the steam trigger (under
the handle of the iron) intermittently to
avoid possible water droplets appearing
with the steam.
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 trigger
several times in a row, holding the iron
away from your clothes.

7 • Dry ironing
Do not pull the steam trigger.
8 • Fill the water tank again
When there is no more steam and
the”Water tank empty” light flashes:
water tank is empty (fig.9). Unplug the
unit from outlet. Open the water tank
cover and fill with maximum 33 oz/1L of
water (fig.1).
Take care not to overfill the tank.
Close the water tank cover. The “water
tank empty” light will be flashing. Press
the “Restart” button (fig.10) on the rear
of the unit. The Pro Precision steam
station is ready to iron when the steam
ready indicator light is steady green and
the iron temperature control dial light
has gone out.
9 • Storing your Pro Precision
steam station
Unplug the unit from outlet. Place the
iron on the iron rest. Fold the steam cord
tuck it in its housing (fig.17).
Wind up the power cord and secure it
with the velcro (fig.18). Allow the iron to
cool down for 1 hour before storing it in
a cupboard or confined space.
MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
10 • Cleaning the Pro Precision
steam station
The Iron soleplate:
In normal use a coating may build up on
the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup,
or burnt synthetic fibers). This can be
easily removed by using the Rowenta
Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot
iron soleplate cleaner available at many
stores and on line.
To prevent scratching the soleplate, do
not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.).
Do not place the iron on rough surfaces,
e.g. metal iron support, which may
scratch the soleplate.
Always put the iron with the soleplate
down on the iron rest, never place on its
heel, on the iron rest
The Base Unit:
Clean the plastic parts of the appliance
occasionally with a soft cloth.
11 • Easy descaling of the
Pro Precision steam station
To extend the life of your Pro Precision
steam station and avoid scale in your
iron, your product is equipped with a
built-in scale collector. In geographies
with hard water, a scale of calcium may
build up inside the boiler. That can effect
preformance of the Pro Precision Pro
Precision steam station and may deposit
white substances on garments. This
scale collector, located in the tank,
automatically collects the scale that
forms inside.
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 inches from the garment to avoid
burning the fabric.
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial descaling products,
etc.) when rinsing the scale collector :
they could damage it. Before descaling,
ensure that the appliance is unplugged
and that the soleplate and the iron rest
have cooled down for at least 2 hours,
in order to avoid any risk of scalding.
If this occurs, remove the excess water
by tipping the unit.
