BEFORE USE
Please read the instructions for use and the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS carefully.
Remove all items from the packaging.
Slowly peel the protective cover off the soleplate.
Place the boiler unit on a flat, firm surface (ironing board, table, etc.).
It is normal for a small amount of smoke to be produced the first time the iron is used. This will quickly
disappear.
The appliance is comprised of two parts: the
iron
and the
boiler unit
.
The water is heated in the boiler of the boiler unit. The steam is then transported to the iron through the
connection cord.
This permits fast, optimal results in both forms of ironing (horizontal and vertical), especially when textiles
are to be steamed into shape.
NOTE!
The iron and boiler unit are under pressure
Never
unscrew the safety cap during use as the pressurized steam can lead to scalds.
Only unscrew the safety cap, if
– there is
no
water left in the boiler, i.e. if
no
steam escapes when the steam button is pressed –
wait for approx.
5 minutes
.
– the appliance is
cold
– wait for approx.
1 hour
after use until residual water in the boiler is cold
– the boiler has been switched off and the appliance is unplugged.
PREPARING TO IRON
Tap water up to 12 grains of hardness can be used for steam ironing (see paragraph WATER TO USE IN
ROWENTA IRONS).
However, the water must contain no additives (e.g. starch, conditioner, perfume, etc.). These could impair
the steam properties and cause residues to form in the boiler unit, which could escape through the steam
holes in the soleplate and mark the garment. For this reason the iron should not be descaled and battery
water should not be used, as this could contain acid.
BOILER UNIT
Filling the boiler unit
Ensure the boiler unit is unplugged and cold.
Unscrew the boiler safety cap by pressing down and turning.
Note:
The safety cap is fitted with a double safety device. To open it, unscrew while pressing down.
Never
unscrew the cap while the boiler is still under pressure.
