Rowenta DG 580, DG 560 manual Always remember, Troubleshooting, Issues Possible causes Solutions

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 temperatures, can form deposits in the steam chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents. Descaling liquids/agents should not be used.
