• After approx. 1 minute move the steam control slide to
the position.
• Insert mains plug and allow the iron to heat up again.
• Wait until the remaining water has evaporated.
• Unplug from the mains and allow iron to fully cool
down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp
cloth
We recommend using the Self Clean function approx.
Every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, the iron should
be cleaned weekly.
Self Clean Valve
The self clean valve prevents the drip hole into the steam
chamber from furring or blocking up. To ensure the iron
continues to function properly, open and close the valve
by sliding the steam control to max then min a few times
after use.
F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale
deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life
of you iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of
the water tank and does not need to be replaced.
Do not use descaling agents, as they will damage the
lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the
steam function.
F3 Anti-Drip System (depending on model)
If the temperature is set too low, the iron cannot produce
steam because of the anti-drip technology which pre-
vents droplets of water leaking from the soleplate.

After ironing
• Unplug from the mains, pour away remaining water
and set steam control to . Then allow the appliance to
cool down.
• Do not wind the cord round a hot soleplate.
• Store the iron standing on its heel.

Cleaning and maintenance
When cool, the iron and the soleplate can be wiped with
a damp cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or
sharp objects to clean the soleplate. Depending on the
model, if the soleplate is stainless steel it can be cleaned
using a Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Stick.
Important:
If the appliance has been standing unused for long peri-
ods, hold it horizontally and allow it to emit steam for 1
minute to clean the steam ducts and remove any residue
from the iron.
