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 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.
Always put the iron with the soleplate down on
the iron rest, never place on its heel.
10 • Rinsing out the
boiler
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 pressure iron & steamer 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 pressure iron & steamer base
regularly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Boiler Cap
To ensure a proper seal, please check the
green 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.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and completely cool down.
The iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners,
descalers or solvents.
Turn the unit off (see section “Turning On and
Off”) and unplug from outlet.
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap. To prevent
overflow during filling, use the water funnel
provided in the packaging. Fill with water until
the red ball reaches the « max » level. Do not
fill water tank past the base of the boiler cap
thread. Be sure that water does not spill over.
If this occurs remove the excess water.
Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly
but be careful not to over tighten.
Over tightening can damage the green 0-ring
Plug back in to electrical outlet.
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.
Do not use descaling agents.
Never hold the pressure iron & steamer
under the tap.
