• For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive,
Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environment, etc).
• Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions
of use. It is designed for domestic use only.
• It is equipped with 2 safety systems:
00H&175
43
-
a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event of malfunction, the
v
alve releases excess steam.
-
a thermal fuse to avoid overheating.
Always plug your steam generator iron:
- into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V,
- into an earthed electrical socket.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will in-
validate your guarantee.
If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (16A) with an earth,
and is fully extended
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high tempe-
ratures, and can cause burns: do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with
the sole plate of the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board and be careful of hot steam when ironing close
to the edges of the board.
• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, espe-
cially when ironing vertically. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a
running tap.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS INSTRUCTION BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Environment protection first !
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste disposal centre.

PREPARATION
Water recommendations
Tap water : Rowenta irons 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 generator.
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 re-
commend 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 re-
commends trying the steam function for the first
time on an old towel or cloth that can be discar-
ded 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 that can cause
spitting, brown staining or premature wear of
the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scen-
ted or softened water, water from refrigerators,
batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, fil-
tered or bottled water. These types of water
should not be used in your ROWENTA iron.
Filling the boiler
• Place your steam generator on a flat, stable,
heat-resistant surface.
Check that your appliance is unplugged and
cold.
Unscrew the boiler cap.
Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of
water. Fill the boiler, taking care that the water
does not spill over (A). If this occurs, remove
the excess water.
Replace the boiler cap, screwing on firmly, but
not over tight.
Starting the generator
Unwind the electric cord completely and take
the steam cord out of its housing.
Connect your generator to an earthed socket.
Press the on/off luminous switch. It comes on
and the boiler heats up.
After about 8 minutes or when the steam
ready light turns off, the steam is ready.
During ironing the iron’s thermostat light and
the steam indicator (according to model) will
go on and off according to the temperature
control.
The first time the appliance is used, there
may be some fumes and smell but this is
not harmful. They will not affect use and
will disappear rapidly.
USE
Steam ironing
Set the iron temperature adjustment dial and
the steam flow adjustment dial (according to
model) to the type of fabric to be ironed (see
table below).
The thermostat light comes on.
To obtain steam, press on the steam control
button on the iron handle (B).
The steam will stop when you release the button.
The generator and the iron are ready to
iron when the steam ready indicator light
and the iron indicator light are off.
Start with the fabrics to be ironed at a low
temperature and finish with those which need
higher temperatures (••• or Max).
To prime the steam circuit, either before using
00H&175

the iron for the first time, or if you have not
used the steam function for a few minutes,
press the steam control button (B) several
times in a row, holding the iron away from
your clothes.This will enable any cold water
to be removed from the steam circuit.
For delicate fabrics, press the steam control
button (on the handle of the iron) intermit-
tently to avoid possible water droplets ap-
pearing with the steam.
If you are using starch, it should be sprayed
onto the reverse side of the fabric to be iro-
ned.
Mixed fibre fabrics : set the ironing tem-
perature to the setting for the most deli-
cate fabric.
Dry ironing
Do not press on the steam control button (B).
Vertical steam ironing
Set the iron temperature dial and the steam
flow adjustment dial (according to model) 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 control button
(B) (on the iron handle) moving the iron from
top to bottom (C).
As steam is very hot, never attempt to re-
move creases from a garment while it is
being worn, always hang garment on a
coat hanger. For fabrics other than linen or
cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres
from the garment to avoid burning the fa-
bric.
Filling the boiler during use
VERY IMPORTANT : Before opening your boi-
ler, ensure that there is no more steam left in-
side by pressing the steam control button (B)
located on the handle of the iron and keep it
pressed down until there is no more steam.
Stop the generator by pressing the on/off
switch and disconnecting the plug.
Never unscrew the boiler cap while it’s
still steaming.
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of
water.
Fill the boiler (A), taking care that the water
does not spill over. If this occurs, remove the
excess water.
Replace the boiler cap, screwing on tightly, re-
connect your generator to the mains, and
switch it on.
Wait until the boiler heats up. After about 8
minutes or when the steam ready light turns
off, the steam is ready.
Storing the generator
Turn off at the main switch and unplug. Place
the iron on the rest. Put away the electric cord
and steam cord (D).
Leave the steam generator to cool down be-
fore putting it away if it is stored in a cup-
board or confined space.
You can store your steam generator in com-
plete safety.

MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
Before cleaning, ensure that your steam gene-
rator is unplugged and that the soleplate and
the iron rest have cooled down.
Do not use detergent or descaling products for
cleaning the soleplate or the base unit.
Never hold the iron or the base unit under
the tap.
Cleaning the soleplate
Regularly clean the soleplate with a non-me-
tallic sponge.
Cleaning the unit
Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occa-
sionally with a soft dampened cloth.
Rinsing the boiler
(once a month)
Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler
and to avoid the building up of scale, it is es-
sential that you rinse out the boiler at least
after every 10 uses (E) (approximately once a
month).
Check that the generator is cold and unplug-
ged for more than 2 hours.
Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untrea-
ted tap water.
Shake the base unit for a few moments and
then empty it completely over your sink (F).
To obtain the best results, we advise you to
repeat this operation.
If your water is hard, increase the fre-
quency. In particular, do not use descaling
agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they
could damage it.
