SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
b The appliance complies with EU directives 72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC.
̈ The appliance may only be connected to alternating current as specified
on the rating plate.
̈ If your home is fitted with a differential current switch, please ensure that

U.K. ONLY
SAFETY POINTS FOR REWIREABLE OR MOULDED PLUG:
̈ The mains lead is fitted with a BS 1363 13A plug.
̈ If the plug supplied with the product is not suitable for your socket outlet,
then it must be removed (cut off, if it is a moulded-on plug) and a suitable
3 pin plug fitted in accordance with the instructions given below.
IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT, PLEASE CONTACT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: Dispose of a plug that has been cut from the power supply cord,
as such a plug is hazardous if inserted in a live 13 amp socket outlet else-
where in the house.
How to connect the cord to a U.K. plug:
IMPORTANT!
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow
Blue
Brown
Earth
Neutral
Live
Please read the instructions given below
before connecting the cord to a plug.
If you are in any doubt please consult a qualified
electrician.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this coffee maker may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
̈ The wire that is coloured GREEN & YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or the earth
Symbol
, or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
̈ The wire that is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
̈ The wire that is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
̈ This appliance requires a 13 amp fuse.
̈ Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA marked fuse, approved to
BS 1362, of the same rating must be used.
̈ Always replace the fuse cover after fitting a fuse. The plug must NOT be
used if the cover is omitted or lost until a replacement is obtained - make
certain that only the correct fuse cover is used and fitted.
̈ For plugs with a detachable fuse cover, the replacement must be the same
as the colour insert in the base of the plug, or as directed by the em-
bossed working on the base of the plug.
̈ If the detachable fuse cover is lost, a replacement may be purchased from
a Rowenta Service Centre (see enclosed Service Information leaflet).
̈ Information for supply may also be obtained from the plug manufacturer.

Replenishing water
■ Unplug the iron.
■ Move the variable steam control fully to the left (Position “min“). Add water
■ Plug in the iron again and wait until the warning light goes off. Return the
steam control slide to the desired steam volume.
ᕣ SELECTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
Set the temperature control on the iron using the international dot symbols
(control knob/garment label) or by type of fabric:
Laundry
label
Fabric
Temperature
regulator
synthetics
e.g. viscose,
polyester
●
silk,
wool
● ●
cotton,
linen
● ● ●
■ Before ironing, sort laundry by type of fabric.
■ For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the ironing temperature on an
invisible spot (inside of the hem) before starting to iron.
Connect the iron to the mains electricity supply
Plug in the iron. The warning light goes on and indicates that the iron is heating
up. As soon as the light goes out, the set temperature has been reached and the
iron is ready for use.
ᕤ ADJUSTABLE STEAM FUNCTION
Set the variable steam control to required steam volume. Steam can only be
produced when the thermostat is aligned to ● ● ● or max. (red zone). Allow
iron to heat up (light goes out) before activating the variable steam control.
Anti-drip system (depending on model)
The anti-drip system reduces the steam volume when the set temperature is too
low. This helps prevent any water dripping from the soleplate.
Iron ready for steam ironing
Steam generation starts when the iron is held horizontally
Steam stop
Steam generation can be interrupted:
■ by setting the iron on its heel
■ by pushing the steam control slide fully to the left.
ᕥ SPRAY FUNCTION
Laundry can be spray dampened as soon as there is water in the tank.
■ Press spray button down:
slowly
fast and strongly
= spray shot
= spray mist
ᕦ SHOT OF STEAM
While ironing, firmly press down the shot of steam button. A strong shot of steam
penetrates deeply into the fabric. Allow an interval of at least 4 seconds between
steam shots.

ᕧ Vertical steam jet
The iron can be used vertically. This is ideal for removing wrinkles from clothing
on hangers, curtains, wall tapestries, etc.
Important!
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn.
DRY IRONING
Push the variable steam control fully to the left (Position “min“).
AFTER IRONING
Unplug the iron. Set the variable steam control to max. and empty any water left in
tank. Then set the variable steam control to min. and leave the iron to cool down.
ᕨ Iron with cord storage
■ For storage the supply cord can be wrapped around the integrated cord
storage feature once the iron has cooled off completely.
■ Always store the iron on its heel to protect the soleplate.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ When necessary use a damp cloth to clean the cool iron, then wipe dry.
■ Read the information in POINTS TO NOTE.
Cleaning the soleplate
For the stainless steel soleplate we recommend the Rowenta soleplate cleaner
PC05. This is available from Rowenta dealers.
■ The high quality soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier and protects your
laundry. When not being used the iron should always be placed on its heel.
Do not rest it on a rough surface. Do not scratch or scrape the soleplate. Do
not use strong or abrasive detergents for cleaning.
ᕩ Self-clean function
■ It is important to activate the iron's Self clean function every two weeks to
clean the steam chamber. If the water in your area is very hard we recom-
mend weekly cleaning. Fill the tank to half, push the steam control slide fully
to the left and allow the iron to heat up to maximum temperature.
Hold the iron horizontally over a sink, press the self-clean button beyound
the max. position to “Self-clean“ and hold it there.
■ Initially a great deal of steam will be expelled. After a few seconds this is fol-
lowed by steam and water, which rinses dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber. Release the self-clean button after about 1 minute on position
min. Unplug the iron, allow it to cool off completely and wipe the soleplate
with a damp cloth. Plug in the iron again, allow it to heat up and hold it over
the sink for a moment to release steam.
■ The self-clean function helps prevent the drip opening in the steam chamber
from becoming blocked or affected by scale. Keep the function working well
by opening and closing the valve several times each time you have used the
iron (activate the steam control slide).
Long-term descaling (Long-Life Anticalc System)
Your iron is fitted with a special descaling system in the water tank, which allows
you to use tap water in the tank, regardless of hardness. You can also use distilled
water or the Rowenta demineraliser PC010. For distilled water we recommend
mixing it in a 1:1 ratio with tap water.

POINTS TO NOTE
■ If the iron has not been used for a long time (e.g. several weeks) the steam
channels should be cleaned and any deposits removed from the iron. To do
this, hold the iron horizontally before you start to use it and allow it to pro-
duce steam for about 1 minute. Also activate the shot of steam button several
times.
Important:
Always empty the water tank when you have finished ironing!
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 temperatures, 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.
