Features Of Your Rohaus Perfect
Temp Steam Iron
Extreme shot of steam
Squeezing the shot of steam trigger instantly
produces a concentrated, high-pressure shot
of steam to remove stubborn wrinkles.
Vertical shot of steam
Squeezing the shot of steam trigger with the iron
in an upright position produces a vertical shot of
steam, which is ideal for steaming curtains and suits,
and removing creases from delicate fabrics.
Fine spray mist
Pressing the spray button provides a fine mist spray
to dampen hard-to-iron fabrics.
Water tank with easy-fill water inlet
Holds 300ml of water for continual high steam
performance without having to refill the tank regularly.
Drip-stop steam system
The drip-stop steam system automatically stops
water flowing to the steam chamber should the
temperature fall too low to generate steam. This
prevents dripping, even at low temperatures.
Full length button groove
For ironing around buttons.
2400 watts for fast heat up
Provides faster initial heat up and rapid heat
recovery during ironing. The 2400W element
helps to maintain your selected temperature,
and provides superior shot of steam output.
Rodilium non-scratch soleplate
Rodilium is a durable, scratch resistant surface that
provides a superior glide and prevents rucking.
Exclusive to Rohaus, this premium soleplate features
172 steam holes to maximise steam distribution.
Digital thermostat
The digital thermostat provides precise
temperature control, allowing you to select
the exact temperature recommended for each
garment. It eliminates temperature overshoot
and minimises temperature fluctuations. This
ensures consistently superior results and
prevents scorching.
Temperature alert
The light located on the iron handle indicates
when the iron soleplate has reached the
selected temperature.
Green = ready to iron
Orange = heating up
Red = too hot, cooling down
Temperature control
Use the + and - buttons to select the desired
temperature setting for each garment, as
displayed on the LCD.
LCD screen
The illuminated LCD displays the selected
fabric setting.
Safety auto-o
The iron automatically switches itself o if left in
the ironing position (horizontal) for 30 seconds,
or in the heel rest position (vertical) for
15 minutes. (For more information on the
safety auto o feature see page 7).
Variable steam dial
Allows you to select the desired steam output
for each garment. Alternatively, select the DRY
setting to iron without steam.
Anti-calc
The built-in anti-calc cartridge removes minerals
from tap water to prevent scale build up inside
the soleplate and steam chamber, prolonging
the life of your iron.

Using the shot of steam
The shot of steam can be used when dry or
steam ironing, when the temperature is set
abovethetwodot(••)setting.
1. Ensure the tank is at least 1/4 full of water.
2. Select the desired temperature and
wait until the temperature alert light
illuminates green.
3. Squeeze the shot of steam trigger
several times with the iron on the soleplate
to prime the pump.
Note: If the tank has run dry, it may be necessary to
re-prime the pump after filling the iron with water.
Using the spray mist
The spray mist can be used whether dry
or steam ironing to pre-dampen hard to
iron fabrics.
1. Ensure the tank is at least 1/4 full of water.
2. Press the spray button during ironing to
release a fine mist from the spray nozzle.
Before first use
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic
covers or cardboard sleeves from the
soleplate. Ensure that all adhesive is
removed by rubbing the soleplate with
a cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
Fill the water tank and empty the water.
This will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining in the water tank from the
manufacturing process.
NOTE: When turned on for the first time, your
new iron may give o vapours for up to 10
minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the
materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the
performance of the iron, and will not reoccur.
Filling the iron with water
Before filling the iron with water ensure
the power is turned o and the plug is
removed from the power outlet. The iron
can be filled with water while it is hot.
Place the iron on its heel and open the
water inlet cover.
Slowly pour water into the water inlet
until the maximum water level is reached.
Do not exceed the maximum water level
indicator. Push the water inlet cover firmly
to close.
NOTE: The anti-calc cartridge and special
soleplate design allows you to use tap water
with your Steam iron without aecting the steam
performance. However in very hard water areas,
Rohaus recommends the use of distilled water,
or water which has been demineralised.
Do not fill the iron with fabric conditioner,
starches or any other solution as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
Using your iron
1. Insert the plug into a 220-240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on. The
LCD screen and the orange temperature
alert light (located on top of the handle)
will illuminate to indicate that the iron is
switched on and heating.
2. Use the temperature +/- buttons to
select the desired temperature. The bars
on the LCD will flash as the iron heats
up to the selected temperature setting.
As each incremental temperature is
reached the bars will display solidly. When
the temperature alert light changes to
green, the iron has reached the selected
temperature and is ready to use.
NOTE: When the temperature is changed from a
high setting to a lower temperature setting during
ironing, the temperature alert light will change
to red. This indicates that the iron is cooling to
the selected temperature. To ensure that the iron
has reached the selected temperature and is
not too hot, wait until the temperature alert light
illuminates green before ironing.
Dry ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
3.Select DRY on the steam dial. This will cut
o the steam flow if there is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
NOTE: When steam ironing, ensure that the
temperature is set to the silk setting or above,
and that the tank is at least 1/4 full of water.
3. Turn the steam dial to the desired
steam setting.

Care And CleaningThe 3-Way Safety Auto-O Feature
The safety auto-o mechanism automatically
turns the iron o if you forget.
The iron will automatically shut o if left
on the heel rest (vertical) for 15 minutes
without being moved, or in the ironing
position (horizontal) for 30 seconds, or if
it is knocked onto its side (See figure 2).
Should you leave the iron unattended,
the LCD screen and the red temperature
alert light will flash, and a warning beep
will sound to let you know that the auto-o
function has been activated.
Power to the iron’s heating element will be
cut and the iron will start to cool. After 30
seconds the frequency of the beep alarm
will decrease.
Once the iron is moved the power will
reconnect. Allow the iron to heat until the
temperature alert light illuminates green,
and continue ironing as normal.
After each use
1. Turn the power o and remove the plug
from the power outlet.
2. Allow the iron to cool before winding the
cord around the built-in cord wrap.
Storage
Always store the iron on its heel rest.
Do not store the iron with the soleplate
facing down, or in the carton.
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe over
with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives,
chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the
exterior of your iron as these will damage
the surface.
Cleaning the steam holes
To remove build up from the steam holes
which may aect steam performance, use a
cotton wool tip moistened in methylated spirits.
Cleaning the Rodilium soleplate
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
Caution: Do not use scouring pads,
abrasives or harsh cleaners to clean your
Rodilium, soleplate, as these will scratch
and damage the surface.

If the following conditions occur
simultaneously, it indicates a possible fault
within the thermistor. These conditions will
persist until the soleplate thermistor
is working correctly.
•The temperature alert light flashes red
continuously, and
•The LCD backlight remains lit, and
•The temperature cannot be changed
from the MAX setting, and the circular
graphic flashes and counts up to the
MAX segment continuously.
To reset the iron, simply switch it o at
the power outlet, switch it back on again
and wait 15 seconds. The iron should
now operate normally. If the fault occurs
regularly return the iron, along with your
purchase receipt, to the place of purchase
for a replacement or refund.
Note: the fault conditions described above are
dierent to what occurs when the safety auto-
o feature is activated. When the iron is in the
auto-o mode the LCD backlight will flash, the
temperature alert light on the handle will flash
red, and a warning beep will sound.
Tip # 1 - Iron shirts like a pro
Start with the collar, working from the outer
edges into the middle. Iron the shoulder
next, followed by the cus and sleeves.
Place the collar at the narrow end of the
board so that one front panel of the shirt
is extended flat. Iron the front panel from
shoulder to shirt tail. Rotate to iron the
back of the shirt. Rotate and complete the
remaining front panel.
Tip # 2 - Tips for T-shirts
Straighten seams on t-shirts before
hanging out to dry. To avoid damage to
printed graphics and logos turn the t-shirt
inside out and iron the reverse side of the
print. Never iron areas of your t-shirt where
perspiration marks are visible as the heat of
the iron will permanently fix the stain.
Tip # 3 - Hung out to dry
When washing is complete, remove shirts
from the machine immediately, shake them
out and hang them on coat hangers to air
dry – this will keep wrinkles to a minimum.
Tip # 4 - Selecting the right temperature
If you are unsure of the correct setting for
a particular garment, test a small area such
as a seam or inside hem before ironing a
visible area. Start with a low temperature
and slowly increase the heat to find the
best setting.
Tip # 5 - Don’t be afraid to iron silk
Don’t be afraid to iron silk. Although delicate
in appearance, silk is the strongest and most
resilient of all natural fibres. To achieve the
best results, set to a low cotton setting and
use regular shots of steam. Always use a
pressing cloth to avoid shine marks.
Tip # 6 - Ironing the seam
Always press seams in the same direction
they were made. When a garment is
produced, the fibres will naturally settle in
the direction they were initially pressed, so
it’s best not to iron against the grain.
Tip # 7 - Sort types of fabric
Sort articles to be ironed according to the
type of fabric. This will reduce the need
to adjust the temperature constantly. Start
with articles requiring lower temperatures
and work your way through to items
requiring higher settings.
Tip # 8 - Summer frocks and frills
Steam is the key when ironing delicate
summer fabrics such as muslin, cotton
and linen. Don’t press down with the iron,
simply hover above the garment and steam
it using a vertical shot of steam. Ruing,
netting, tulle or intricate hand detailing is
also best ironed using this method.
Tip # 9 - Pressing your winter woollies
Steam is crucial when pressing your winter
woollies. Woollen garments can be hung
and steamed using the vertical shot of
steam feature. After steaming, brush the
garment with your hand to plump up
woollen fibres. If ironing the garment flat
it is best to use a pressing cloth. Don’t be
afraid to apply pressure – steam and hold.
Tip # 10 - Table settings to impress
To avoid unwanted creases always iron
your table cloth after taking it out of the
cupboard. A dinner party is a special
occasion, so treat the table cloth as you
would your own outfit. For best results, lay
towels across your table and iron the table
cloth over the towels. This will save you
time and ensure a beautifully presented
table setting.
