WARNING:
Iron and soleplate may still be hot, exercise care while
wiping.
왎
Place iron on heel and leave to cool.
왎
IMPORTANT: before using the iron after self cleaning, test steam
and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth to ensure all loose
material has been removed from the iron.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
왎
When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners or solvents.
Cleaning the soleplate
Rowenta stainless steel soleplates have excellent non-stick properties
and can be simply wiped clean when cold.
왎
In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate
(starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily
removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality
hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
왎
Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads.
왎
The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To prevent scratch-
ing of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.).
Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support,
which may scratch the soleplate.
