BEFORE USE

1 • Water recommendations
Tap water
Rowenta irons are designed to be used with
REGULAR TAP WATER (up to 12 grains of
hardness). If your water is harder than this,
Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water
with half distilled water which reduces the
hardness; or just use inexpensive bottled
spring water. Never use 100% distilled water
as this can cause the iron to spit and leak.
Softened water
There are many types of household water
softeners and the water from many of them is
perfectly acceptable for use in the expert
pressure iron & steamer. However, some types
of softeners, particularly those that use
chemicals such as salt, can cause the
appliance to leak or spit during use. If you
experience this
recommend that you try using inexpensive
bottled spring water or untreated tap water.
Once you have changed water it will take
several uses to correct the problem. Rowenta
recommends trying the steam function for the
first time on an old towel or cloth that can be
discarded to avoid damaging your clothes.

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
inexpensive bottled spring water.
Never use 100% pure distilled water.
Always remember :
Battery water and water containing additives
(such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner)
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.
Descaling liquids/agents should not be used.
