Recommendations:
• Before you begin using the iron, or if you have not used any steam for a few minutes, press the
steam control button 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.
•
Iron temperature control setting:
- Start with any fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature (•), and finish with those which need
higher temperatures (• • • or Max).
- Mixed-fibre fabrics: Set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
- Woollen garments : Press the iron’s steam control button intermittently to produce short
bursts of steam, without placing the iron on the garment itself.
•
Steam output control dial setting:
- Thick fabrics: Increase the steam output setting.
- Low temperature ironing: Set the steam output control dial to the low position.
•
Dry ironing: Do not press the steam control button under the iron handle.
• If you are using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.
•
Ironing board cover:
We recommend ironing the ironing board cover with a very hot iron before you use it for the
first time. For perfect results every time, only replace with a Rowenta ironing board cover
available from our authorised service dealers.
7 • VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
1.
Set the iron temperature control and the steam output control dial (located
on the control panel) to the maximum position.
2.
Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with
one hand.
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.
3. Holding the iron in a vertical, tilted position, press in one second bursts on
the steam control button (located beneath the iron handle) while moving
the iron from top to bottom (14).
Recommendations: With fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres
away from the garment, to avoid burning the fabric.

8 • HUMID STEAM FUNCTION
Press the humid steam button (15) two or three times to obtain a steam
boost as required:
- When ironing thick fabrics,
- In order to eliminate unwanted creases,
- For powerful vertical crease removal.
Important: Use the humid steam function very carefully because of the exceptional power
of the steam that may cause burns.
