  Vertical steam

The iron can also be used vertically. This
is especially useful for getting creases out
of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries,
etc.

To steam vertically press the burst of
steam button while holding iron in the
upright position.

Warning:
Never iron clothes while they are
being worn.

  DRY IRONING

Sliding the variable steam control fully to
the left, dry ironing can be performed
either with or preferably without water in
the tank.

  AFTER IRONING

Turn temperature control dial completely to minimum. Unplug
the iron. Slide the variable steam control completely to minimum
empty any water left in the tank. Leave the iron to cool down.

For easy storage the cord can be wound loosely around the iron
once the iron has cooled off completely.

Always store the iron on its heel to protect the soleplate.

  WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA IRONS

  Tap water:

Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULAR TAP WATER (up
to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this, Rowenta
recommends mixing half tap water with half distilled water which
reduces the hardness; or use just inexpensive bottled spring water.

Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit
and leak.

  Softened water:

There are many types of household water softeners and the water
from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. However,
some types of softeners, particularly those that use chemicals such as
salt, can cause the iron 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.

Never use 100% pure distilled 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 to avoid damaging your clothes.
