Maintenance And Cleaning - Rowenta EXPERT PRESSURE IRON & STEAMER Mode D'emploi

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning or rinsing, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate
and the iron rest have cooled down for at least 2 hours, in order to avoid any risk of scal-
ding.
10 • Cleaning the expert pressure
iron & steamer
Do not use any cleaning or descaling
products for cleaning the soleplate or the
base-unit. Never hold the iron or the base
unit under the tap.
The Iron 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 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.
Always put the iron with the soleplate down on
the iron rest, never place on its heel.
The Base Unit:
Clean the plastic parts of the appliance
occasionally with a soft cloth.
11 • Rinsing the boiler
Your generator is equipped with an orange
"boiler rinse" warning light (fig.12) that
flashes on the control panel after about 10
uses.
You can continue ironing normally but
remember to rinse the boiler before the next
use.
ATTENTION: Do not use descaling agents
for rinsing out the boiler, as they could
damage it.
Before attempting to rinse the boiler of
the expert pressure iron & steamer, it is
essential to leave it to cool for at least 2
hours in order to avoid any risk of scalding.
Place the expert pressure iron & steamer on the
edge of a sink, with the iron to one side, standing
on its heel. Remove the boiler rinse cap cover
(fig.13). Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler
rinse cap (fig.14).
With the rinsing accessory:
easier to rinse the boiler as expert pressure
iron & steamer will need less handling. The
rinsing accessory has been designed to work on
a wide range of faucets.
Choose the one best suited to your faucet (a or
b)(fig.15). Place the plastic nozzle of the
rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler and turn
gently to the right until it locks (fig.16). The
outlet of this nozzle must be positioned over
the sink (fig.17). Connect the rubber end of the
rinsing pipe to a cold tap (R). Turn the tap on
gently and gradually and let cold water run
through the rinsing pipe into the sink for about
1 minute (fig.18). Switch off the faucet and
remove the rinsing pipe.
Or
Without the rinsing accessory:
Gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap (fig.14).
Holding the expert pressure iron & steamer in
a tilted position, fill the boiler (in the base unit)
with 8 oz of tap water.
Shake the base unit for a few moments and
The next time you use the generator, hold
down the "restart" (fig.19) button to turn
off the orange light. .
then empty it completely over your sink.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that
this operation is done twice.
