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. Before unscrewing the boiler drain screw, wait until the
generator is cold (unplugged for more than 2 hours).
Never fill the boiler through the boiler drainage hole
(except for rinsing).
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 1800 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
M
Safeguards carefully.
Remove all packaging from the generator.
M
The first time the steam generator is used, it is normal for a
M
small amount of smoke and a slight odor to be produced.
It will quickly disappear.
When starting, and while it is being used, the electric pump
M
injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is
normal. If you are pressing on the steam control button at
this time, you may lose a little steam for a few seconds.
HELPFUL HINTS
Before using the generator for the first time or if you have
M
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
M
temperature setting (
the highest temperature (
Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature
M
●) and finish with those which need
● ● ●).
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
M
garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing.
For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow
M
excess steam to escape.
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on
M
an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Place your steam generator on a stable, horizontal heat-
resistant surface.
2. Remove the water tank by pulling
the tabs upward (1).
