AFTER IRONING
Unplug the iron. Set the variable steam control to max. and empty any water left in tank. Then set the variable steam control to min. and leave the iron to cool down.
Integrated cord wrap
For easy storage, the cord can be wound loosely around the heel once the iron has cooled down completely.
To protect the soleplate always store the iron on its heel.
Important:
Always empty the water tank when you have finished ironing.
WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA IRONS
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, Rowen- ta 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.
