When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, check
the appliance before each use by pressing the steam trigger. Make sure you
direct the appliance away from yourself and others.
Use the appliance for its intended use only.
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.
To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water
or other liquids.
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the appliance cool completely
before storing away. Loop the cord loosely around the appliance when storing.
Do not direct steam at people, animals or iron clothes while they are being worn.
Never pull on the cord to unplug from the mains power outlet; instead, grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
Always unplug the appliance from the mains power outlet when filling with
water, emptying or when not in use.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15A rated cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may over-heat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been
dropped or damaged.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
appliance. Take it to the nearest authorised Rowenta approved service centre for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of fire or electric
shock when the appliance is used.

appropriate knowledge or experience or persons with reduced or impaired
physical, sensory or mental capacities provided that they have been thoroughly
instructed regarding use of the appliance, are supervised, and understand the
risks involved. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning
and maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are aged or
over and are supervised. Keep the appliance and power cord out of the reach of
children under years of age.

DESCRIPTION
Before use
Please read the instructions for use and
Important Safeguards carefully.
• Remove any packaging from the ap-
pliance.
• Do not plug in or turn on until assembly
is complete.
Dual voltage
(depending on model)
• The appliance can work on both, 110-120V
or 220-240V, AC systems. Be sure the dual
voltage selector is in the correct voltage
position before plugging in. To do this,
switch the selector which is above the
handle to the right position -
fig.6 a.
• This is a 220-240V dual voltage appliance
and may be used in the United States and
abroad without an electrical converter.
An adapter plug may be necessary when
using the appliance in foreign countries.
• If needed, plug the steambrush into the
correct adapter plug for the specific coun-
try and plug assembly into electrical out-
let.
It is normal for a small amount of
smoke to be produced the first time
the appliance is used. This will
quickly disappear.
Warning! Never switch the selector
while unit is plugged in.
Dual voltage selector in wrong
voltage position:
If the voltage selector is set to 220-
240V in a 110-120V supply, the
performance of the steambrush will
be reduced.
Never set the voltage selector to 110-
120V in a 220-240V supply as this
can damage the product.

Filling with water
• Your steam brush has been designed to
operate using 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% untreated tap water,
-50% distilled or demineralised water.
• Remove the water tank by pulling it back-
wards -
fig.3.
• Remove the stopper.
•
F ill the watertank to the MAX level with
water -
fig.4 and close it securely. Make
sure that the stopper is properly pushed in
place -
fig.5 .
• Put the tank into the handle until it clicks
into place -
fig.6 .
• Completely unwind the power cord. Plug
in your steam brush -
fig.7 .
USE
• Once the appliance is plugged in, the light is
on -
fig.8 .
• After approximately 50 seconds, and when
the light is off, it has reached working tem-
perature.
• To begin steaming, press the steam trigger
repeatedly with the steam brush facing
away from you, holding it in vertical posi-
tion -
fig.9 .
Steaming clothes
The Ultra Steam is equipped with a fabric
brush.

fig.11b . You can operate
the unit with or without the accessory.
• Hang the creased article of clothing on a
clothes hanger
• Pull the clothing tight with one hand. Your
hand must be far enough from the steam
brush to avoid burning it with the steam
output. Place the appliance over the crea-
sed area, beginning at the top of the gar-
ment.
• Gently press the fabric brush against the clo-
thing and move the steam brush down the
fabric. Press the steam trigger repeatedly
every 4 seconds -

on top of the brush while pulling it forward.
Lint pad
Threads, lint and hair can easily be
removed with the lint pad by brushing the
During use or while the unit is
heating or cooling, do not rest the
appliance on its head. Place teh
product on its side on a stable, heat
resistant, flat surface, as the head
will be hot. As the appliance heats,
the housing becomes warm. This is
normal.
Before removing or attaching the
fabric brush, unplug your
appliance and let it cool down.
Important: Heat concentrates the
elements contained in water during
evaporation.
Warning ! Never use 100%, distilled
or demineralised water as this can
cause the appliance to spit.
As steam is very hot: never attempt
to remove creases from a garment
while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a clothes hanger.
Always keep your hand far from the
steam output.
The lint pad can not be used when
attached to the appliance.

led down, it may be stored thanks to the
hanger hook.
Cleaning/Descaling
• Clean the main unit with a damp cloth.
• Your steam brush must be descaled oc-
casionally if you notice the steam power
is weak.
The time between descaling operations
depends on the quality of the water and
the frequency with which you use the
appliance.
• To carry out an effective descaling opera-
tion, we advise you to :
1. Fill the water tank with white vinegar.
2. Plug in the appliance and wait until it
reaches the working temperature.
3. Above a sink, press the steam trigger.
Wait for a few seconds. Press again the
steam trigger.
4. Repeat the previous steps until the
water tank is empty. The scale will be re-
moved. Stay away from the steam out-
put: there is a risk of particles spitting.
5. Important: It is necessary to clean the
appliance to avoid splattering your
clothes with vinegar residue. It is impor-
tant to clean the water tank with water,
then, to fill it again with fresh water.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the water tank
is completely empty.
7. Unplug the steam brush. Wait 15 mi-
nutes until it is completely cool. Use a
cloth to wipe the scale marks that may
appear on the steam head during desca-
ling operation.
Warning: never forget to unplug the
steam brush and empty the tank after
your working session. While not in
use, you can hang your steambrush
by its hook.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
Never immerse the steam head in
water! The steam brush contains
electric components that could be
damaged by direct water.
Wait for 15 minutes until the steam
head is completely cool.
Environment protection first !
iYour appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered
or recycled.
‹ Leave it at a civic waste disposal centre.
