Preparation
Safety lock
Your steam generator is equipped with a locking system that holds the iron on to the base unit in order to facilitate
transport and storage.
The safety lock allows you to carry your steam generator by the iron handle:
- place the iron on the iron rest of the steam generator and lock it into place (you will hear an audible “click” sound)
- Hold the iron by its handle in order to transport your steam generator.
What water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your water is very hard (check with your local
water authority), it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought
distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions :
- 50% tap water, - 50% distilled or demineralised water.
•Types of water not to use?
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation.The types of water listed below contain organic
waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance : water from
clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or
demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your Rowenta Generator. Also do not to use boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
Always remember:
Never use rainwater or water containing additives (like starch, fragrance or water from domestic appliances). Such
additives can affect the steam properties and at high temperature, form deposits in the steam generator chamber which
are likely to stain your washing.
Preparing your steam generator
• Place the steam generator on a flat, stable, horizontal and heat-resistant surface.
• We recommend that you use a mesh type ironing board to allow steam to pass through the garments for better ironing
results and also to prevent steam venting sideways.
• Always ensure that the base unit is positioned close enough to the ironing surface to avoid straining and wear of the
steam cord.
• Lift the removable water tank (located at the front of the steam generator) pressing on the lock screw located on the
tank handle.
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water, taking care not to exceed the maximum level.
• Slide the tank back into its housing until it “clicks” into place.
• Unwind the electrical power cord completely and remove the steam cord from its housing.
• Plug your steam generator into a mains socket with an earth pin.
16
• The boiler cap must not be opened during use.
• The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, if
it has any visible damage, if it leaks, or if it functions
abnormally in any way. Do not attempt to dismantle your
appliance: have it examined at an Approved Service Centre
to avoid any danger.
• Check the electrical power and steam cords for signs of
wear or damage prior to use. If the electrical power cord or
the steam cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger.
• Accessories, consumables and end user replaceable parts must be only purchased from an Approved Service Centre.
• For your safety, this appliance conforms to all applicable regulations (Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility,
Environment, etc).
• Your steam generator iron is an electrical appliance: it must be used under normal conditions of use. It is designed for
domestic use only.
• It is equipped with 2 safety systems:
- a pressure release valve designed to avoid excessive pressure. In the event of malfunction, the valve releases excess steam.
- a thermal fuse to avoid overheating.
• Always plug your steam generator iron:
- into a mains circuit with voltage between 220 V and 240 V (Alternating current only),
- a socket outlet with an earth connection.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee.
• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in good condition, has
a plug with an earth connection and is suited to the power rating of the appliance.
• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging into an earthed socket outlet.
• The sole plate of your iron and the iron rest on the base unit can reach extremely high temperatures, and can cause burns:
do not touch them. Never touch the electrical power cords with the sole plate of the iron.
• Always use a vented/mesh ironing board to prevent water spots on clothes and to avoid hot steam venting sideways.
• Your appliance emits steam, which can cause burns. Always handle the iron with care, especially when ironing vertically.
Never direct the steam towards people or animals.
• Never immerse your steam generator iron in water or any other liquid. Never place it under a running tap.
