1 • Safety lock (according to
model)
• Your steam generator 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 generator by the iron handle:
- place the iron on the iron rest of the
steam generator 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 generator - fig. 3.
2 • Water recommendations
Tap water
• Rowenta steam generators 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 generator. 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 generator.
