BEFORE USE

Please read all of the instructions for use and
the Important Safeguards carefully.
Remove all packaging from the steam station.
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.
1 • Water recommendations
Tap water
Rowenta irons are designed to be used with
REGUL R T P W TER (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
as 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 the steam
station. However, some types of softeners,
particularly those that use chemicals such as
salt, can cause the appliance 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.
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 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 appliance and eventually

Never use 100% pure distilled water.
lways 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.
Descaling liquids/agents should not be used.
2 • Filling the boiler
The steam station is designed to operate using
tap water. ( ).
While unplugged, place the steam station on a
stable horizontal, heat resistant surface.
Unscrew the boiler cap.
To prevent overflow during filling, use the
water funnel provided in the packaging. Fill
slowly with water until the red ball reaches
the « max » level. Do not fill water tank past
the base of the boiler cap thread. Do not
overfill. Be sure that water does not spill over.
If this occurs remove the excess water.
Replace the boiler cap and screw it on firmly
but be careful to not over tighten.
Over tightening can damage the green 0-ring.
To fill boiler while you are using the
appliance see section "Filling boiler while in
use".
