Selecting The Ironing Temperature; Steam Ironing; Dry Ironing - Rowenta Steam Generatorsuperpress Instructions For Use Manual

To avoid damage to clothes from dust or dirt that may collect in the iron, or after the iron has been stored for
some time, we recommend that you first iron an old cloth, testing the steam feature.
Set the temperatre control dial according to the type of fabric you are ironing.
Check the fabric's label for appropriate setting.
IRONING
The steam generator permits ironing with steam and without steam.

STEAM IRONING

HINT
In order to achieve an ideal balance of ironing temperature and steam for large quantities of laundry, we
recommend pressing and releasing the steam button at regular intervals of 15 seconds.
Important
For delicate synthetics which are ironed on the lowest temperature setting ( ), press the steam button several
times, hold iron away from the garment. This prevents garment from being wet by condensed water escaping
from the soleplate because no more steam is generated on this temperature setting.
If water escapes, set temperature control higher.

DRY IRONING

The iron can be used for dry ironing if the steam button is not activated.
IRONING HINTS:
Start ironing fabrics that require a low temperature (synthetics, silk, wool) and end with fabrics which
need a higher temperature (cotton, linen).
For wool fabrics only steam is necessary. This will freshen up the fabric and the fibers will retain their
elasticity.
Velvet fabrics should be ironed in the direction of the fiber.
Starch should always be sprayed onto the reverse of a fabric so that no starch residues adhere to
the soleplate.

SELECTING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE

Synthetics (low temperature)
Silk/wool (medium temperature)
Cotton/linen (high temperature)
Before steam ironing, check that the boiler is correctly filled with water.
Set the temperature control of the iron to the colored steam zone at the
setting.
The pilot light of the temperature control goes on when heating; it goes off
when the set temperature is reached.
In order to produce steam, press the steam button under the handle of
the iron and keep pressed down during ironing.
