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.
