1 • Safety lock (according to model)

• Your steam station is equipped with a

safety lock that holds the iron on to the

base unit in order to facilitate transport

and storage:

• Pull up – fig. 1.

• Push down – fig. 2.

The safety lock allows you to carry your

steam station by the iron handle:

- place the iron on the iron rest of the steam

station and lock it into place (you will hear

an audible “click” sound) – fig. 1.

- Hold the iron by its handle in order to

transport your steam station - fig. 3.

2 • Water recommendations

Tap water

• Rowenta steam stations are designed to

be used with UNTREATED TAP WATER. If

your water is very hard, Rowenta

recommends mixing half untreated tap

water with half distilled water which

reduces the hardness.

Softened water :

• There are many types of household water

softeners and the water from many of

them is perfectly acceptable for use in the

steam station. However, some types of

softeners, particularly those that use

chemicals such as salt, can cause the

appliance to leak or spit during use, this is

notably the case with filtering jugs.

Therefore we would not recommend

using this type of water.

• If you experience this type of problem, we

recommend that you try using untreated

tap water or store-bought distilled water

which can be mixed 50% distilled with

50% untreated tap 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

that can be discarded to avoid potentially

damaging your clothes.

Always remember :

• Heat concentrates the elements in water

during evaporation. The types of water

listed below may contain organic waste,

mineral or chemical 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,

air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered

or bottled water. These types of water

should not be used in your ROWENTA

steam station.

3 • Preparing your steam

station

• Place the steam station on a flat, stable,

horizontal and heat-resistant surface.

USE

4 • Switching on your steam

station

• Press on the on / off switch - fig. 8, it

begins flashing. The green light located

on the control panel flashes

• When starting, and regularly while it is

being used, your steam station's electric

pump injects water into the boiler. It makes

a noise but this is quite normal.

•

The steam station and the iron are ready for

use when the steam indicator light is on and

the iron light goes out.

5 • Operating the control

panel

•

Flashing green light -

fig. 8

: the water is

heating up in the boiler.

•

Continuous green light -

fig. 10

: steam is

ready for use.

•

Flashing red light -

fig. 13

: the tank is

empty.

• The

“Calc Away System” or the “boiler

rinse" orange indicator flashes -

fig. 15 or

fig. 21

(according to model) : the collector /

boiler needs to be rinsed.

6 • Using your steam station

• Place the iron’s temperature control - fig.

9to the type of fabric to be ironed (see

table below).

• The iron temperature control light turns

on. Important: whenever you start using

your iron and whenever you reduce the

temperature during use, the iron is ready

for use when its indicator light goes out

and when the green light located on the

control panel comes on and remains on.

• During use, when you increase the

temperature of the iron, you can start

ironing immediately.

• ECO Mode: Your steam

station has an ECO mode function which

uses less power whilst still guaranteeing a

sufficient steam output for you to iron your

garments properly.

In order to use this function, once the

thermostat of your iron has been correctly

set (see table above), press on the ECO

button located on the control panel.

The ECO mode can be used on all types of

fabrics, nevertheless for very thick or very

creased fabrics we recommend that you

deactivate ECO mode (by pressing the

ECO button again) to guarantee the best

results.

• During ironing the iron indicator light

switches on and off according to heating

requirements but this has no effect on

use.

• To obtain steam, press on the steam

control button beneath the iron handle

and keep it pressed - fig. 11. The steam

will stop when you release the button.

• Always spray starch on the reverse side of

the fabric to be ironed.

The first time the appliance is used,

there may be some fumes and a slight

smell this is not harmful and will quickly

disappear.

• Set the temperature of the iron to the max

position.

• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and

hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

• Press repeatedly on the steam - fig.11

control button (beneath the iron handle)

moving the iron from top to bottom - fig. 12.

Examples of how to use the vertical

steaming function:

• Removing creases directly on hangers

from delicate fabrics that you do not want

to bring into contact with the hot iron.

• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before

putting it on.

8 • Dry ironing

• Do not press the steam control button.

9 • Fill the water tank again

• When there is no more steam and the

“Water tank empty” light flashes - fig. 13:

the water tank is empty.

• Remove the water tank using the handle

(on the front of the steam station) - fig. 14

and fill it - fig. 5 do not fill above the Max.

level.

• Push the water tank into position until it

“clicks” into place. Press the Restart

button located on the control panel. The

red light turns off.

• The steam station and the iron are ready

for use when the steam indicator light is

on and the iron temperature control light

goes out.

10 • Storing the steam station

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it.

Place the iron on the iron rest on the

steam station. Lock the iron onto the base

unit by pressing it until you hear an

audible “click”, so your iron is secure

(according to model) – fig 1. Fold the

steam cord in two and place it in its

housing. Wind up the power cord and

attach it with the velcro.

• Leave the steam station to cool for at least

one hour before putting it away if it is to

be stored in a cupboard or confined

space. You can then store your steam

station safely.

Iron temperature control setting: Your

iron is quick to heat up so start with

fabrics to be ironed at a low

temperature and finish with those

which need higher temperatures.

Mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing

temperature to the setting for the

most delicate fabric. For delicate

fabrics (•), press the steam control

button (under the handle of the iron)

intermittently to avoid any water

droplets appearing with the steam.

If you set your thermostat to “min”,

the iron will not become hot.

When taking a break from ironing,

never place the iron on a metal rest

plate, which could damage the iron

rest plate of the unit. It is equipped

with non-slip pads and has been

designed to withstand high

temperatures.

Recommendations: To prime the steam

circuit, either before using the iron for

the first time, or if you have not used the

steam function for a few minutes, press

the steam control button several times

in a row – fig.11, holding the iron away

from your clothes. This will enable any

cold water to be removed from the

steam circuit.

As steam is very hot: never attempt

to remove creases from a garment

while it is being worn, always hang

garments on a coat hanger. For

fabrics other than linen or cotton,

hold the iron a few centimetres from

the garment to avoid burning the

fabric.

If this occurs, remove the excess

water.

MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

11 • Cleaning the station

• The iron soleplate: Clean the soleplate of

your iron when it is cool with a damp

cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.

• The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of

the appliance occasionally with a soft

cloth.

12 • Easy descaling of your

steam station

For models with scale collector.

• To extend the life of your steam station

and avoid scale on your ironing, your

steam station is equipped with a built-in

scale collector. This collector, located in

the boiler, automatically removes the

scale that forms inside.

Operation:

• An orange “Calc-Away System” light

located - fig. 15 on the control panel starts

flashing to tell you that the scale collector

needs rinsing.

• Once the steam station has cooled

completely, remove the scale collector

cover - fig. 16.

• Unscrew the scale collector and remove it

from the housing; it contains the scale

that has built up in the tank - fig. 17.

• To clean the collector properly, just rinse it

under running water to remove the scale

it contains - fig. 18.

• Put the collector back into its housing and

screw it in completely to keep it watertight

- fig. 19.

• Put the scale collector cover back on - fig.

20.

In addition to this regular maintenance

procedure, we recommend that you rinse

the boiler completely once every 6 months,

or once every 25 times you use your steam

station.

• Make sure that the steam station has

been unplugged and allowed to cool for

at least 2 hours.

• Place the steam station on the edge of

your sink and the iron to one side, on its

heel.

• Remove the collector cover and unscrew

the scale collector - fig. 16-17.

• Hold your steam station at an angle and

use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of

tap water.- fig. 24.

• Shake the base unit for a few seconds

then empty it completely into the sink.-

fig. 25-26.

• Fit the collector back in its housing and

screw it on tightly to ensure it is

watertight but do not overtighten it - fig.

19.

• Put the scale collector cover back in

place.- fig. 20.

Models without scale collector

• To prolong the life of your steam station

and prevent the release of scale on to

your ironing, your steam station is fitted

with an orange "Boiler rinse” light that

flashes on the control panel when you

need to drain the appliance - fig. 21.

• If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light

flashes, you can continue ironing

Do not use any descaling substances

(vinegar, industrial descaling

products, etc.) when rinsing the scale

collector: they could damage it.

Before emptying your steam station,

it must always be left to cool for 2

hours to avoid any risks of scalding.

Do not use any cleaning or descaling

products for cleaning the soleplate

or the base-unit. Never hold the iron

or the base unit under the tap.

IMPORTANT! This operation must not

be carried out unless the steam station

has been unplugged for at least two

hours and has cooled down comple-

tely. To carry out this operation, the

steam station must be close to a sink

as water may come out of the tank

when it is opened.

The next time you use your iron,

press the “Restart” button on the

control panel to turn off the orange

“Calc-Away System” light.

ROWENTA guarantees this product against any manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship

during the guarantee period within those countries*** as stated in the country list on the last page of

the user manual, starting from the initial date of purchase.

The international manufacturer’s guarantee covers all costs related to restoring the proven defective

product so that it conforms to its original speciﬁcations, through the repair or replacement of any de-

fective part and the necessary labor. At ROWENTA’s choice, a replacement product may be provided

instead of repairing a defective product. ROWENTA’s sole obligation and your exclusive resolution

under this guarantee are limited to such repair or replacement.

Conditions & Exclusions

ROWENTA shall not be obliged to repair or replace any product which is not accompanied by a valid

proof of purchase. The product can be taken directly in person or must be adequately packaged and

returned, by recorded delivery (or equivalent method of postage), to a ROWENTA authorized service

centre. Full address details for each country’s authorized service centers are listed on ROWENTA

website (www.rowenta.com) or by calling the appropriate consumer Service centre set out in the

attached Country List.

This guarantee applies only for products purchased and used for domestic purposes and will not

cover any damage which could occur as a result of misuse, negligence, failure to follow ROWENTA

instructions, or a modiﬁcation or unauthorized repair of the product, faulty packaging by the owner or

mishandling by any carrier. It also does not cover normal wear and tear, maintenance or replacement

of consumable parts, or the following:

- using the wrong type of water or consumable

- damages or bad results speciﬁcally due to wrong voltage or frequency as stamped on the

product ID or speciﬁcation

- scaling (any de-scaling must be carried out according to the instructions for use)

- accidents including ﬁre, ﬂood, thunderbolt etc

- mechanical damages, overloading

- ingress of water, dust or insects into the product

- damage to any glass or porcelain ware in the product

- professional or commercial use

Consumer Statutory Rights

This international ROWENTA guarantee does not affect the Statutory Rights a consumer may have or

those rights that cannot be excluded or limited, nor rights against the retailer from which the consu-

mer purchased the product. This guarantee gives a consumer speciﬁc legal rights, and the consumer

may also have other legal rights which vary from State to State or Country to Country. The consumer

may assert any such rights at his sole discretion.

*** Where a product purchased in one listed country and then used in another listed country, the international

ROWENTA guarantee duration is the one in the country of usage, even if the product was purchased in a listed country

with different guarantee duration. The repair process may require a longer time if the product is not locally sold by

ROWENTA. If the product is not repairable in the new country, the international ROWENTA guarantee is limited to a

replacement by a similar or alternative product at similar cost, where possible.
