CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If the body and the handle become dirty they should be wiped with a
damp cloth when the appliance is cold and unplugged. Do not use
abrasive or other chemicals.
Cleaning the soleplate
MIn normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate
(starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily
removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality
hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
MDo not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads.
MTo prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp
objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the appliance on rough
surfaces, e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch the soleplate.
WATER TO USE IN ROWENTA STEAM 'N PRESS
Tap water
The Rowenta Steam 'n Press is designed to be used with REGULAR TAP
WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this,
Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with half distilled water
which reduces the hardness; or just use inexpensive bottled spring
water.
Never use 100% distilled water since this can cause the iron to spit
and leak.
