Vertical steam
DRY IRONING
The iron can also be used vertically. This is especially useful for getting creases out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc.
To steam vertically press the burst of steam button while holding iron in the upright position.
Warning:
Never iron clothes while they are being worn.

Sliding the variable steam control fully to the left, dry ironing can be performed either with or preferably without water in the tank.
AFTER IRONING
Turn temperature control dial completely to minimum. Unplug the iron. Slide the variable steam control completely to minimum empty any water left in the tank. Leave the iron to cool down.
For easy storage the cord can be wound loosely around the iron once the iron has cooled off completely.
Always store the iron on its heel to protect the soleplate.
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, Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with half distilled water which reduces the hardness; or use just 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.
