DESCRIPTION
1 • Water recommendations
Tap water :
Rowenta steam generators 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 recommend 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 recommends trying the steam
function for the first time on an old towel
or cloth that can be discarded 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, scented or softened
water, water from refrigerators,
batteries, air conditioners, rain water,
boiled, filtered or bottled water. These
types of water should not be used in
your ROWENTA iron.
2 • Preparing your steam
generator
Place the steam generator on a flat,
stable, heat-resistant surface.
Remove the water tank using the handle
(on the front of the steam generator) -
fig.12.
Fill the tank with untreated tap water,
taking care not to exceed the maximum
level - fig.1.
Slide the tank back into its housing until
its “clicks” into place .
Unwind the electrical power cord
completely and remove the steam cord
from its housing - fig.2.
Plug your steam generator into a mains
socket with an earth pin - fig.3.
For best results you should use a mesh
type/vented ironing board.
