7 • 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 appear as brown stains. If you experience these
problems Rowenta recommends using bottled spring water.
Never use 100 % pure distilled water.
Always remember: Battery water and water containing
additives (such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner
condensed water from driers) 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.

8 • Selecting the Temperature
Ironing label
Important! The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up.
We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a
low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the
most delicate fabric.
Set the temperature control dial according to
the fabric you are ironing. Check the garment
label for appropriate setting.
We recommend using the chart below as a
guide.
