IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be follo-

wed,including the following : Read all instructions before using the iron.

• Use iron only for its intended use.

•To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in

water or other liquids.

•The iron should always be turned to Minimum (Min) before plugging

or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet,

instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely

before putting away.

• Loop cord loosely around iron when storing. Always disconnect iron

from electrical outlet when filling iron with water, emptying iron or

when not in use.

• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been

dropped or damaged.To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not

disassemble the iron, ship it to the nearest authorized Rowenta

Appliance Service Center for examination and repair. Incorrect

reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or

near children. Do not leave iron unattended while plugged in or on an

ironing board. Do not direct steam at people, animals or iron clothes

while they are being worn.

• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.

Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down there may be hot

water in the reservoir.

•The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Rowenta

Appliance Company and may result infire, electric shock or personal injury.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.This is either a 1600 / 1700 watt appliance.To avoid an overload, do

not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, the marked electrical

rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electri-

cal rating of the appliance. Cords rated for less amperage may over-

heat. Care should be taken to arrange the cordso that it cannot be

pulled or tripped over.

3. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOT DZ1700 1103480249 13/12/05 17:06 Page 2

Before Use

- Please read all of the Instructions for Use and

the Important Safety Guards carefully.

- Remove all packaging from the iron.

- Remove the soleplate protector.

- It is normal for a small amount of smoke and

a light odor to be produced the first time it is

used.This will quickly disappear.

- Particles may emit from iron during first use.

They are not harmful and should disappear

after the iron has been used.

Helpful Hints

- When ironing, start with fabrics that require a low tempera-

ture setting (•) and finish with those which need the highest

temperature (•••).

- Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for

the most delicate fabrics. For example a shirt that is 60 %

cotton and 40 % polyester should be ironed at the (•) set-

ting for synthetics.

- If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the

garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing by set-

ting garment aside for 30 seconds.

- For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow

excess steam to escape.

- For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on

an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.

- Adhere to manufacturer recommendations on garment label.

3 Way Auto-Off

- If the iron is not moved while it is plugged

in, an internal safety switch will turn it off.

- It will turn off in 8 minutes if left vertically or

in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate or tipped

over. A red flashing light indicates that the

auto-off has been activated.

- To switch the iron on again, move the iron

or gently shake it.

Auto off is not on/off switch.

Always unplug iron when it is not use.

Filling with Water

- Ensure the iron is unplugged.

- Slide the variable steam control completely

to the left.

- Rest the iron on heel and tilt it forward

approximately 1 inch.

- Fill with water (containing no additives) to

the max mark on the water tank. We recommend

using a water pitcher rather than filling under

the tap. Iron holds approximately 8.5 oz. of

water.

- If you need to add water during ironing,

UNPLUG the iron and follow the steps above.

- Ensure iron heats back to temperature after-

wards, that means thermostat light will go out.

Water Recommendations

Tap water

Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULARTAP

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.

Softened water

There are many types of household water softeners and the

water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in

an iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those

that use chemicals such as salt, can cause the iron to leak or

spit during use. If you experience this type of problem, we

recommend that you try using inexpensive bottled spring

water or untreated tap water. Never use 100% pure distilled

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 to avoid

damaging your clothes.

Iron and other impurities

If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or organic

matter, these minerals can collect inside the iron and eventually

appear as brown stains. If you experience these problems

Rowenta recommends using inexpensive bottled spring water.

Never use 100% pure distilled water

Always remember:

Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch,

perfume or fabric conditioner) may not be used. Such additives

can affect the properties of the steam and, at high temperatu-

res, can form deposits in the steam chamber, which will mark

the laundry when they are emitted through the steam vents.

For this reason descaling liquids should not be used.

Selecting the Temperature

- Set the temperature control dial according to

the fabric you are ironing. Check the garments

label for appropriate setting.

We recommend using the chart below as a

guide.

Light will be on as iron is heating. When light goes out iron is ready

to use. When heating a cold iron, please allow thermostat to cycle

twice before use (thermostat light will go on and off twice).

Steam Ironing

WARNING !

•Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.

• Before ironing for the first time fill iron and allow to heat.

• The iron should be allowed to emit steam for 1 to 2 minutes

while pressing the burst of steam button a few times to

remove any impurities.This should also be done if iron is

not used regularly.

Steam is only produced when the temperature dial is set to the

shaded area (after •• setting).

Burst of steam

- This feature is ideal for removing stubborn

wrinkles or pressing in sharp creases in hori-

zontal use. When the temperature control is

set to the steam zone (after ••) the burst of

steam can be used by pressing the burst of

steam button. Leave an interval of 4 seconds

between bursts.

Vertical Steam

The iron can also be used vertically.

- This is especially useful for getting creases

out of hanging clothes, curtains, tapestries, etc.

- To steam vertically, press the burst of steam

button while holding iron in the upright position.

Warning! Never iron clothes while they are being worn.

Dry Ironing

- To iron without steam, slide the variable

steam control lever to the position.

- We recommend dry ironing with an empty

tank.

- Set the temperature for the type of material to

be ironed (•, •• or •••).

Auto Steam

- For steam output to be automatically

adjusted to the soleplate temperature, turn

the steam control to the position.

NOT DZ1700 1103480249 13/12/05 17:06 Page 5

Spray Setting

- This feature is ideal for stubborn wrinkles or

set in creases.

- Ensure there is water in the tank then press

the spray button.

- Do not spray silk.

Anti-Drip System

- In order to produce steam, all irons require a high tempera-

ture. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will

not turn to steam and can spit or leak from the soleplate.

The Anti-Drip system automatically switches off the steam

when ironing at low temperatures to prevent spitting.

Anti-Calc System

- Minerals in water can build up in the steam chamber.

The Anti-Calc system contains a special material that

neutralizes the harmful minerals.This system is designed

to extend and maintain the high steam performance of the

iron.The cartridge is not replacable.

Self Clean

Warning! Do not use descaling agents.They can damage the

lining of the steam chamber.

This feature allows loose mineral deposits and other impurities

to be flushed from the soleplate.

Self Clean should be carried out occasionally and at least once

a month.

- Fill the iron with tap water to the max mark

on the water tank.

- Be sure that variable steam lever is set to m

minimum.

- Stand the iron onheel and plug in.

` - Set thermostat to ••• setting.

- Once heated, unplug iron.

- Hold iron horizontally over the sink with the

soleplate pointing away from body.

- Move the variable steam lever completely to

the right and hold in the self clean position

for one minute.

Warning! Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be

ejected from the soleplate.Take all proper precautions and

hold iron away from body.

- Move the iron gently back and forth and side to side until all

water has run through plate.

- Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with

an old towel, as the water and minerals can stain the sole-

plate (although this has no effect on glide or performance).

ANTI

CALC

ANTI DRIP

NOT DZ1700 1103480249 13/12/05 17:06 Page 6

Warning! Iron and soleplate may still be very hot. Exercise care

while wiping.

- Place iron on heel and leave to cool.

Before using iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst of

steam on an old towel or cloth than can be discarded.

Vapodur Valve

To ensure the iron continues to steam efficiently, open and

close the valve a few times after each use. This is done by

moving the variable steam control lever left to right a few

times.

After Ironing

1. Turn the temperature dial to the min setting. Slide the steam

lever to the no steam position .

2. Unplug the appliance.

3. Place the iron on its heel and allow to cool completely.

4. Empty water from the appliance before storing.

We recommend emptying the iron when not in use.

5. To protect the soleplate, we recommend storing iron on its

heel.

Cleaning and Maintenance

When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with a

damp cloth and wiped dry.

Never use household cleaners or solvents.

Cleaning the soleplate

Rowenta soleplates have excellent non-stick properties and can

be wiped clean when cold.

- In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate

(starch, detergent build-up, burnt synthetic fibers).

This can easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Kit

or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most

stores.The Rowenta kit is also available through our website:

www.rowentausa.com.

- To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp

objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on rough surfaces,

e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch the soleplate.
