IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your iron
placed down on the soleplate.
Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down before
maintenance and cleaning.
14 • Self Clean (prolongs the life of the iron)
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
1. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the
••• temperature. Switch off the steam.
2. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally.
3. Push the self clean button for 1 minute
fig.13a-13b and shake the iron gently: 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.
4. Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has
evaporated.
5. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down. When cool, the soleplate
can be wiped with a damp cloth.
13 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe the iron down with a damp cloth or sponge. A non
abrasive cleaning agent can be used.
Alternatively the ROWENTA cleaning kit ZD100 D1 can be used. After cleaning the soleplate, use
the Self Clean function to remove residues of the cleaner from the steam holes.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the
soleplate and other parts of the iron.
WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will
permanently damage your iron.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard,
clean the iron weekly.
12 • 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.
7 • Spray
Press the spray button to moisten difficult creases fig.10. You can use the spray function
at any temperature.
8 • Anti-Drip system
It prevents water dripping out of the soleplate when the temperature is too low.
9 • Auto Off function
• For your safety, the electronic system cuts off the power and the auto off indicator light
flashes
fig.11 when:
- The iron remains motionless for more than 8 minutes on its heel
- The iron remains flat or on its side for more than 30 seconds
To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
