PREPARATION

1·Safety lock

• Your steam generator is equipped with a safety lock that holds the iron on to the base unit in order to facilitate transport and storage:
  Pull up -fig. 1.
• Push down - fig. 2.

The safety lock allows you to carry your steam generator by the iron handle:

• place the iron on the iron rest of the steam generator and lock it into place (you will hear an audible "click" sound) -fig. 1.
• Hold the iron by its handle in order to transport your steam generator-fig. 3.

2·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 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 steam generator.

3. Preparing your steam generator

• Place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal and heat-resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use an ironing board that is suitable for use with steam generators; (steam generator rest must be tray-type rather than mesh-type). The board should be a mesh type to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting sideways.
• Lift the removable water tank (located at the front of the steam generator) pressing on the lock screw located on the tank handle - fig. 4.
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water, taking care not to exceed the maximum level - fig. 5.
• Slide the tank back into its housing until it "clicks" into place.
• Unwind the electrical power cord completely and remove the steam cord from its housing - fig.6.
  Plug your steam generator into a mains socket with an earth pin -fig.7.

USE

4 • Switching on your steam generator

• Press the on/off switch, it lights up - fig.8. The green lights located inside each fabric section start to flash. After around one minute, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal.
• Your steam generator is ready for use when the green lights stop flashing.

The first time that the appliance is used there may be some fumes and smell but this is not harmful. They will not affect use and will disappear quickly.

5.Operating the control panel

• When one of the lights on the control panel is flashing this means that your steam generator is not yet ready for ironing the selected fabric.

If all of the green lights have stopped flashing, your steam generator is at the correct temperature and steam setting for ironing the selected fabric. A beep will confirm that your steam generator is ready - fig.10.
While you are ironing, if you select a higher programme, you can continue ironing.
- Red "tank empty" light is flashing - fig: 14: the tank is empty.
- Blue "on/off" light is flashing: your appliance is on standby.
- Orange "Calc-Away" light is flashing - fig. 17: the collector needs to be rinsed.

6 • Using your steam generator

Eco Intelligence

• Your steam generator is fitted with an Eco Intelligence electronic control system that provides optimal control of the iron's steam output and temperature according to the selected fabric: this reduces energy consumption and guarantees optimum ironing for each type of fabric.
• Set the control button to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).

SYNTHETICS (Polyester, Acetate, Acrylic, Polyamide)
SILK
WOOL
COTTON
LINEN

"Boost "function

• Your generator is equipped with a "Boost" function that allows you to increase steam release during use at particular moments and for particularly difficult areas, for example if you are ironing very thick or very creased fabrics. To use this function, press the Boost button on the control panel, a blue light turns on - fig.16.

• To deactivate the Boost function, press the button again. The blue light will then turn off. You can also deactivate it by turning the fabric selection dial.

• The Boost function is deactivated automatically after 15 minutes. The blue light flashes to indicate that the Boost function will turn off, then turns off.

The Boost function can only be used on the "Wool", "Cotton" and "Linen" positions. For other fabrics, there is no need to use the Boost function as the combinations of "Synthetic" and "Silk" settings are sufficient.

• For steam output, press the steam control below the iron handle - fig.11. The steam stops when the control is released.
  If you are using starch, spray it on the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Recommendation: when using for the first time or if you have not used steam for several minutes, press the steam control repeatedly several times - fig. 11 holding it away from your linen. This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam circuit.

Fabric selection: your iron heats up quickly, start with fabrics that are ironed at low temperatures and end with those that require a higher temperature. Please note, if you start by ironing fabrics that require a higher temperature, the appliance may take some time to cool down. If you wish to accelerate the process you can activate the steam control, holding the iron away from your linen to cool it down more quickly. On each change of fabric, wait for the lights to stop flashing. If you are ironing fabrics made from mixed fibres, set the iron for the most delicate fabric. For delicate fabrics () , press the steam control button (under the handle of the iron) intermittently to avoid possible water droplets appearing with the steam.

When pausing during ironing, never place the iron on a metal iron stand, which could damage it, but on the rest plate of the unit: it is fitted with nonslip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures.

7·Using the Precision Shot

• Your appliance comes with a Precision Shot function: it allows you to make a concentrated steam injection when ironing difficult creases, intricate and difficult access areas.
• To use this function, press fully on the Precision Shot located on the top of your iron as many times as necessary.

ATTENTION! use the Precision shot function carefully as the steam comes out with exceptional force and could cause burns.

8·Vertical steam ironing

• To iron a wool, cotton or linen garment, select the fabric and press on the "Boost/vertical steam" button for powerful vertical steam ironing.
• For delicate fabrics such as synthetics or wool, it is not necessary to use the "Boost/vertical steam" button, as the "synthetics" and "silk" setting buttons are sufficient for removing creases.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• Press the steam control button -fig.11 repeatedly, moving from top to bottom -fig.13.

Examples of how to use the vertical steam ironing function:

• Removing creases from delicate fabrics that you do not want to come into contact with the hot iron
• Refreshing a shirt or suit just before putting it on.

As the steam produced is very hot, never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn; always hang garments on a coat hanger. For fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few centimetres away so as not to burn the fabric.

9·Dry ironing

• Do not press the steam control button.

10. Filling the water tank up again

• When there is no more steam and the "water tank empty" light flashes - fig.14: the water tank is empty.
• Remove the water tank using the handle (on the front of the steam generator) by pressing on the locking screw located on the tank handle - fig.15 and fill it up - fig.5 taking care not to exceed the maximum level.

If this occurs, pour away the excess water.

• Push the water tank into position until it "clicks" into place.
• Press the "tank empty" Restart button under the control panel.
• Your steam generator is ready for use when the green lights stop flashing.

11·“Auto-off” system

• For your safety your steam generator is fitted with an "auto-off" system which places it on standby after it has been left unused for 8 minutes or in the event of it being left on accidentally.
• Three beeps sound and the blue light on the "On/Off" button flashes to indicate that the appliance is going on standby.
• To reactivate the steam generator: press the "On/Off" button and wait for the green lights to stop flashing before starting to iron again.
• The steam generator can also be reactivated by pressing the steam button.
• For your safety, after around 30 minutes without being used, the "auto-off" system will switch off your steam generator. To restart your ironing session, press the "On/Off" button.

12 • Storing the steam generator

• Turn off the steam generator by pressing the "On/Off" button.

• Unplug the appliance and press the automatic cord rewind button.

• Place the iron on the steam generator iron rest. Lock the iron on the base unit by pulling up the safety lock and pressing it until you hear an audible click, so your iron is secure - fig 1. Fold the steam cord in two and place it in its housing.

• Leave the steam generator to cool for at least one hour before putting it away if you want to store it in a cupboard or confined space. You can then store your steam generator safely.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

13 · Cleaning the steam generator

Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
Do not use any maintenance or descending product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.

• The iron soleplate: clean the soleplate of your iron when it is cool with a damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
• The base unit: clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

14·Easy descending of your steam generator

Do not use any descending substances (industrial descending products, etc.) when rinsing the scale collector or boiler tank, they could damage it. Before emptying your steam generator, it must always be left to cool for 2 hours to avoid any risk of scalding.

• To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale being deposited on your ironing, your steam generator is equipped with a built-in scale collector. This collector, located in the tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.

Operation:

An orange "Calc-Away" light - fig.17 located on the control panel starts flas

hing to let you know that the collector needs rinsing.

• Once the steam generator has completely cooled down, remove the scale collector - fig.18.

Important! This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generator has been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sin as water may come out of the tank.

• Unscrew the scale collector valve and remove it from the base unit; it contains the scale that has built up in the tank - fig.18.
  To clean the collector properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains - fig.19. You can soak the collector in white vinegar or lemon juice for a few hours to remove any stubborn scale stuck to the collector.
• Put the collector back in its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight but do not overtighten it - fig.20.
• Put the scale collector cover back in place - fig.20.

Next time you use the appliance, press the "Calc-Away" button located on the control panel to switch off the orange light.

Apart from this regular maintenance process, we recommend that you rinse the boiler completely every 6 months, or every 25 times you use your iron.

Make sure that the steam generator has been unplugged and allowed to cool for at least 2 hours.
- Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink and the iron to one side, on its base.
- Remove the collector cover and unscrew the scale collector - Fig.18.
- Hold your steam generator at an angle and use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of tap water - Fig.21.
- Shake the base for a few seconds then empty it completely into the sink - Fig.22 and 23.
- Fit the collector back in its housing and screw it on tightly to ensure it is watertight but do not over-tighten it - Fig.20.
- Put the scale collector cover back in place - Fig.20.

Next time you use the appliance press the "Calc-Away" button located on the control panel to switch off the orange light.

The steam generator does not work without the scale collector.

Regular descending of your steam generator will help to maintain its steam performance over time.
