Water Recommendations, Selecting the Temperature

Water Recommendations

Tap water

Rowenta irons are designed to 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. Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit and leak.

Softened water

There are many types of household water softeners and the water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those that use chemicals such as salt, can cause the iron to leak or spit during use. If you experience this type of problem, we recommend that you try using inexpensive bottled spring water or untreated tap water. Never use 100% pure distilled 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 to avoid damaging your clothes.

Iron and other impurities

If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or organic matter, these minerals can collect inside the iron and eventually appear as brown stains. If you experience these problems Rowenta recommends using inexpensive bottled spring water. Never use 100% pure distilled water

Always remember:

Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used. Such additives can affect the properties of the steam and, at high temperatu- res, can form deposits in the steam chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents.

For this reason descaling liquids should not be used.

Selecting the Temperature

-Set the temperature control dial according to the fabric you are ironing. Check the garments

label for appropriate setting.

We recommend using the chart below as a guide.

Ironing label	Fabric	Temperature
Ironing label	Fabric	control
	Synthetic fibres e.g.	control
	Synthetic fibres e.g.
	viscose, polyester
	silk, wool
	cotton, linen

Light will be on as iron is heating. When light goes out iron is ready to use. When heating a cold iron, please allow thermostat to cycle twice before use (thermostat light will go on and off twice).

The Rowenta DX1900 is a high-performance steam iron designed to provide exceptional results while simplifying the ironing process. Known for its effectiveness and user-friendly features, the DX1900 is a popular choice among households seeking to maintain crisp and wrinkle-free clothes. This model is packed with advanced technologies, making it a standout in the crowded market of steam irons.

One of the main features of the Rowenta DX1900 is its powerful steam output. With a continuous steam rate of up to 40 grams per minute, this iron offers a consistent flow of steam that penetrates fabric deeply, ensuring stubborn wrinkles are eliminated with ease. For those more challenging areas, the DX1900 is equipped with a steam shot feature that delivers a concentrated burst of steam of up to 150 grams per minute, making short work of deep-set creases.

The Rowenta DX1900 also boasts a precision tip, which is designed to reach tight spaces and tricky areas such as collars, cuffs, and around buttons. This attention to detail helps ensure a thorough and efficient ironing experience. Additionally, the iron features a stainless steel soleplate that is non-stick and scratch-resistant, facilitating smooth gliding over garments of all types and providing durability over time.

One of the notable technologies included in the DX1900 is the anti-drip system, which prevents water from leaking when the iron is heated to lower temperatures. This ensures that no unwanted water stains appear on fabrics, allowing users to iron with confidence. The self-cleaning function helps maintain the iron's performance by removing mineral build-up, contributing to the longevity of the device.

Moreover, the DX1900 prioritizes safety with its automatic shutdown feature, which activates if the iron is left unattended for a certain period. This not only protects the iron from damage but also prevents potential accidents. The lightweight design of the iron enhances maneuverability and ease of use, making long ironing sessions less tiring.

In summary, the Rowenta DX1900 combines powerful steam performance, precision features, and user-friendly technology to redefine the ironing experience.
