8 • After ironing
Turn the unit off. (Consult section “Turning On and Off”).
Unplug the appliance.
Place the iron on the iron rest and allow to cool
completely which will take approximately 1 hour.
Once cold, empty water from the appliance before storing. We recommend emptying the boiler when not in use.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and completely cooled down. The iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners, descalers or solvents.
9 • Cleaning the soleplate
In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch the soleplate. Place the iron on its rest on top of the base of the unit.
Always put the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest, never place on its heel.
10 • Rinsing out the boiler
Do not use descaling agents.
To ensure optimum steam performance, the boiler must be rinsed out after every 10 uses. If your tap water is hard increase the frequency. Check that the generator is unplugged and cold.
Fill the boiler 3/4 full with tap water.
Shake the boiler for a few moments and then empty it over a sink (D).
Repeat the process.
Wipe the generator base regularly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Never hold the generator under the tap.
Boiler Cap
To ensure a proper seal, please check the red rubber ring in the safety cap for wear and tear regularly. If wear is noted, replace ring. Replacement rings are available through our main service centers.
