Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

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.

Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads.

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.
