Rowenta 42449 manual Vertical Steam Ironing, Humid Steam Function Depending on the Model, Use

GB

7 • VERTICAL STEAM IRONING

1.Set the iron temperature control and the steam output control dial (located on the control panel) to the maximum position.

2.Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

As steam is very hot, never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.

3. Holding the iron in a vertical position, press repeatedly on the steam control button (beneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom (10).

Recommendations:

For fabrics other than linen or cotton, hold the iron a few cen- timetres from the garment to avoid burning the fabric.

8 • HUMID STEAM FUNCTION (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)

The humid steam button adds water vapour to the steam output. Press 2 or 3 times on the humid steam button (11) to obtain a more powerful, heavier burst of steam :

• for ironing thicker fabrics,

• to eliminate creases,

• for powerful vertical steam ironing.

Be careful :
Use the humid steam function very carefully because of
the exceptional power of steam that may cause burns.	(11)

9 • “PRECISION STEAM JET” FUNCTION (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)

Your generator has a “Precision Steam Jet” function, allowing you to:

-Iron the most hard-to-reach areas (such as button holes, shirt cuffs and collars, darts in trousers, the inside of jacket and coat sleeves);

-Soften the fibres before ironing, when the fabric is very creased.

Use:

-With the iron on the ironing board, press the “Precision Steam Jet”

button on the iron handle 2 or 3 times to obtain short, powerful bursts of steam at the front of the iron (12);

- Then iron the fabric using steam from the soleplate to smooth the fibres, by pressing the steam control button beneath the iron handle (13).
