IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using

1. Only use an iron for its intended use.
2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
4. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
5. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
6. Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
7. Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir.
9. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere cord should be used. Cord rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by children and other persons whose physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience

and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

1. Children should be supervised by the responsible person to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
2. the iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
3. when placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable;
4. the iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. The iron must not be left unattend while it is connected to supply mains.
2. Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you leave the room.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Environment

Environment protection first!

① Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.

Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
