the brush with the bottom of the steam
head. Gently push the top of the brush into place on the

Auto off
The Auto-off function prevents unit from overheating, but
does not switch-off the appliance.
Do not use as on/off switch.
Filling with water
•
The steamer can 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 just use
inexpensive bottled spring water; or 100% distilled water.
•
Battery water and water containing additives (such as
starch, perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used in
the steamer. Such additives can affect the properties of
the steam and can form deposits.
•
Be sure that unit is unplugged. Remove
water tank from main unit by pulling
up. Unscrew the cover and fill. Do not
fill above the max line at the water tank.
Water tank capacity is 1 gallon.
•
Screw cover back onto tank when filled.
•
Firmly place tank back on the main unit.
Use
Warning: Never steam clothes while they are being worn.
Hose and steam head will become hot during use. This is
normal. Use caution and avoid prolonged contact.
•
Place steamer on a flat, level surface. Do not block vents
on bottom of unit.
•
Plug in cord and activate the power switch by hand
or foot. The power indicator light will illuminate once
steamer is turned on.
•
Wait for the steam to come out. It will take approximately
90 seconds.
•
Put garment onto the hanger head. Grasp the steam
head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start
steaming by touching material lightly with steaming head
and moving in an up/down vertical motion. Begin at the
bottom of the garment and move in an upward direc-
tion. Steam with hose in an upright position. If steaming
in a low position near floor, straighten hose up and out
FREQUENTLY to keep clear of condensation. This allows
any condensation to flow back into the steamer.
•
During operation, the steamer hose may make a gurgling
noise. This is a normal result of condensation. If it begins
to gurgle, extend hose up and out to move excess
moisture back into the base.
DO NOT ALLOW STEAMER TO RUN DRY
