What to do if water runs through the holes of my Rowenta Iron soleplate?

  If water runs through the holes of the Rowenta Iron soleplate, it could be due to several reasons. The boiler might be too full, so avoid filling it to the top. You might be using steam at too low a temperature or before the iron is hot enough; wait for the indicator light to go out and set the iron to GGG. If you're using steam for the first time or haven't used it recently, water may have condensed in the tubing; press the steam button away from your ironing board until steam is produced. If the thermostat isn't working correctly and the temperature is too low, contact an approved Rowenta service center.

  If there's little or no steam coming from your Rowenta Iron, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the boiler is empty and fill it if needed. If the boiler isn't ready, wait until the boiler ready indicator light goes out, which usually takes about 8 minutes, and set the iron to the GGG setting. Also, ensure the iron is at the correct temperature by setting it to GGG.

Why does my Rowenta Iron have brown streaks coming through the soleplate?

  Brown streaks coming through the holes of the Rowenta Iron soleplate are often caused by using chemical descaling agents, tap water high in iron or rust, or additives in the water like lavender water. Never use these products as they can damage your steam generator, and never add anything to the boiler. Another cause may be charred fabric buildup in the soleplate holes or between the iron cover and soleplate, so cleaning the soleplate might help.

  A dirty or brown Rowenta Iron soleplate that stains linen can occur if you're ironing at too high a temperature; consult the temperature control chart and set the thermostat correctly, and clean the soleplate. It can also happen if your linen hasn't been rinsed properly or if you're using starch. Always spray starch on the underside of the fabric.

  To prevent scratches on your Rowenta Iron soleplate, avoid placing the iron on a metal iron rest, and be careful not to drop or knock it. Also, avoid ironing over zippers and buttons. Always place the iron on the iron rest of the steam generator or on its heel. To change the iron soleplate, contact an approved Rowenta service center.
