Cleaning And Maintenance - Rowenta POWERPRESS Instructions For Use Manual

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 simply wiped clean when cold.
In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the sole-
plate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers).
This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate
Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron cleaner available at most
stores.
Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning
pads.
The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. 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 plate.
