Filling the water tank
• The steamer is designed to be used with TAP WATER . If the water in your area is hard, Rowenta recommends that you mix half tap water and half distilled water, which reduces the hardness; you may also use bottled spring water or distilled water only.
IMPORTANT
Never use water that contains additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc) in the steamer. Additives such as these can affect the properties of the steam and lead to the formation of deposits.
• Ensure that the device is unplugged. Remove the water tank from the base of the appliance by pulling it upwards. Unscrew the lid and fill the tank.
The tank holds 128 ounces.
• After closing the lid, place the water tank into place on the base of the appliance.
Tips
•We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recommendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
•Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the labels of the clothing to be steamed.
•Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment that is not visible (inside of a hem).
•Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
•Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
•If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise the hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation. You may hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.
•Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
•Be careful at all times.
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.
