20 • Maintenance and Cleaning
Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and
completely cooled down.
Never use household cleaners, abrasive cleaning pads or
solvents.
21 • 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 be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate
Cleaning 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.
