MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and completely cooled down.
The iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners,
descalers or solvents.
9 • Cleaning the soleplate
In normal use a draggy coating may build up
on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup,
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.
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.
Place the iron on its rest on top of the base of
the unit.
Always put the iron with the soleplate down on
the iron rest, never place on its heel.
