Frequently Asked Questions - Effective DW4000 ROWENTA

How to use the AutoSteam function?

Turn the thermostat to the position corresponding to the fabric. The iron automatically adjusts the amount of steam and temperature for optimal performance.

What to do if water comes out of the soleplate holes?

Wait for the temperature indicator to turn off before using steam. Space steam bursts a few seconds apart. Do not store the iron flat without emptying it.

How to clean the soleplate if it is brown?

Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth after cooling. Avoid excessively high temperatures. If using starch, spray it on the wrong side of the fabric.

What type of water to use to avoid deposits?

Use tap water. If it is very hard, mix 50% tap water with 50% commercial demineralized water. Do not use pure demineralized water, or from tumble dryers, scented, etc.

How to perform the iron's self-cleaning?

Fill the tank halfway, plug in the iron, set it to maximum, wait for the indicator to turn off, then shake the iron over a sink while pressing the self-cleaning button. Repeat every two weeks.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check the water level in the tank. If the iron was used dry for a long time, perform a self-clean. Make sure the steam slider is not on the DRY position.

How does the auto shut-off work?

If the iron remains stationary, it turns off automatically: after 30 seconds on the soleplate or side, after 8 minutes on the heel. An indicator flashes. To reactivate, gently move the iron.

Can I use my iron on a fragile ironing board?

Yes, but ensure the surface is stable and heat-resistant. Never place a hot iron directly on a sensitive surface.

How to store the iron correctly?

Unplug it and empty the tank. Let it cool completely. Store it on its heel (rest) and not flat to avoid leaks.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use the appliance. Have the cord replaced by an approved Rowenta service center to avoid any danger.

What water to use?

Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority), it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions: - 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.

However, it is necessary to operate the Self clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

Use the Self clean function approximately every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard clean the iron weekly

Types of water not to use?

Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral 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 or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Rowenta iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

Automatic 3-position cut-out\*

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and the auto off light will blink after the following intervals:

- After 30 sec., if the iron is left placed down on the soleplate or lying on its side.

- After 8 mins., if the iron is left standing on its heel.

To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

Autosteam\*

Your iron is equipped with the Autosteam system, it automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected fabric.

Select the fabric to be ironed on the thermostat dial.

You can also set your iron based on the international temperature measurements.

For each fabric, the iron will automatically adjust the steam rate for optimum performance.

If there is a problem?

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Water drips from the holes in the soleplate.	You are using steam while the iron is not hot enough.	Wait until the thermostat light goes out.
	You are using the shot of steam button too often.	Wait a few seconds between each use of the button.
	You have stored the iron horizontally, without emptying it and without setting it to	See the section "Storing your iron".
