– the appliance is obviously leaking. In these cases the appliance
should be returned to an approved Rowenta Customer Service
Centre for repair. (See enclosed Service Centre addresses.) Repairs

This product has been designed for domestic use only.
Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply
with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility
and the guarantee will not apply.
Environment protection first !
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can
be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a local civic waste
collection point.
Keep these instructions
BEFORE USE
1 • Unpacking
Take the iron out of the box and remove all the stickers.
IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate
protector (fig.1)!
2 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water up
to 17° dH (German water hardness). If in doubt, check with your local
water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix
50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT 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
DZ5000-1103899452-Mars06 9/03/06 11:44 Page 4

5
or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in
your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
3 • Using for the first time
Plug in the iron (fig.2) and set the temperature control dial (fig.3)
to ••• to heat the appliance.
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only
temporary.
Unplug the iron (fig.4) and fill the water tank (§ 4 Filling the
water tank).
To remove any impurities in the iron's steam chamber, unplug the
iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the steam control into
the Self Clean position : steam will now begin to build up.
After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate,
rinsing any impurities out of the steam chamber (fig.5).
Move the steam control to steam position after approx.
1 minute. Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again.
Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the
mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.
USE
4 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and
set the steam control to dry position .
Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the
max mark (fig.7). Close the filler inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to
the horizontal.
5 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the
temperature control dial (fig.3).
Temperature control*:The temperature control light indicates that
the soleplate is heating up. When the temperature control light goes
off (fig.9), the set temperature is reached and you can begin ironing.

YELLOW The soleplate is still too cold for the selected
material.
GREEN The soleplate is at the right temperature for the selected
material.
RED The soleplate is still too hot for the selected material.
AUTO- OFF The automatic electronic cut-out* is active.
Electronic temperature control*:The traffic lights tell you whether
the soleplate is at the selected temperature (fig.10).
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat
up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at
a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for
the most delicate fabric.
TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to
be ironed.
6 • Dry ironing
Set the variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the
temperature to suit the type of material (care points •, ••, •••).
7 • Steam ironing
You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards.
Steam function*The steam quantity can be set to between no
steam (minimum steam quantity) and (maximum steam
quantity) (fig.12). We recommend setting to maximum steam

quantity only when the iron is at temperature setting •••.
Auto Steam function* Set the steam button to (fig.13) and
the steam quantity will adjust automatically to the soleplate
temperature.
8 • Shot of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
IMPORTANT Leave an interval of 4 seconds between each shot
and wait until the flow of steam is finished before standing the
iron on its heel.
Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of
steam and remove stubborn creases (fig.14).
9 • Vertical shot of steam
(from temperature setting •• upwards)
TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment
to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
Hold the iron to the vertical and press the shot of steam button
( fig.15) to remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging
curtains etc.
IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
10 • Spray
Press the spray button to dampen stubborn creases (fig.16).
11 • Anti-Drip system*
It prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature
is too low.
12 • Automatic electronic 3-position cut-out*
If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will
automatically switch off and the auto off light will blink after the
following intervals:
- After 30 sec., if the iron is left standing on the soleplate or lying on
its side .
- After 8 mins., if the iron is left standing on its heel.
To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

AFTER USE
13 • Emptying
Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.17) and set
steam control to .
Open and close the steam control several times (fig.18) to prevent
the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.
14 • Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing
on its heel (fig.19).
IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate.
Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate (fig.20).
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down
before maintenance and cleaning.
15 • Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits.
This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.
The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank
and does not need to be replaced.
16 • Self Clean function
(prolongs the life of the iron)
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber.
IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage
the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam
function.
Fill the water tank with tap untreated water up to the max mark and
heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it
over a sink horizontally. Hold the steam control into the Self Clean
position (fig.5) : steam will now begin to build up. After a few
seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale
particles out of the steam chamber.

Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the
remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow
the iron to fully cool down.
When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks.
If the water is very hard, clean the iron weekly.
17 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp
cloth or sponge, as required.
Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or
objects to clean soleplate and other parts of the iron.
If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods,
use the Self Clean function (see § 16).
Problems Cause Solution
The iron is
plugged in, but
the soleplate of
the iron
remains cold.
No mains supply. Check that the mains plug is properly
inserted or try plugging the iron into a
different socket.
Temperature control
set too low. Set the temperature control to a higher temperature.
The automatic
electronic cut-out* is
active.
Move your iron.
Thermostat
control light* or
the yellow led*
goes on and off.
This is normal. When the thermostat control light* or
the yellow led* goes on and off the
iron is heating up. As soon as the
thermostat control light* goes off or
the green led* lights up the set
temperature has been reached.
