-Never pour water directly into reservoir. Pour water in water tank only.  
-Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.  
-Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the water tank.  
-Steam only in an up and down vertical motion. Never use steamer in  
a horizontal position or tilt into a backward position, this may result in  
hot water discharge.  
-Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or the appliance  
power cord while it is hot or plugged in. Use the stand provided.  
-When changing attachments, please be sure, the unit is off and no  
steam is being released to avoid contact with hot water.

Filling the water tank  
The steamer is designed to be used  
with TAP WATER . If the water in your  
area is hard, Rowenta recommends  
that you mix half tap water and half  
distilled water, which reduces the  
hardness; you may also use bottled  
spring water or distilled water only.  
IMPORTANT  
Never use water that contains  
additives (starch, perfume, aromatic  
substances, softener, etc) in the  
steamer. Additives such as these can  
affect the properties of the steam and  
lead to the formation of deposits.  
Ensure that the device is unplugged.  
Remove the water tank from the base  
of the appliance by pulling it  
upwards. Unscrew the lid and fill the  
tank.  
The tank holds 128 ounces.  
After closing the lid, place the water  
tank into place on the base of the  
appliance.  
Tips  
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer  
recommendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an  
unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.  
• Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the  
labels of the clothing to be steamed.  
Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment  
that is not visible (inside of a hem).  
• Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.  
• Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.  
• If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise  
the hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation.  
You may hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.  
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.  
• Be careful at all times.  
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.

Use  
Warning: Never steam a garment while it  
is being worn. The hose and steam head  
may become hot during use.  
This is perfectly normal. Be careful and  
avoid any prolonged contact.  
• Only operate the steamer on the floor  
clear of any materials which may obstruct  
the base of the steamer (flat and horizontal  
surface). Do not obstruct the orifices on the  
lower part of the appliance.  
• Depending on the model the steam  
amount can be set to the desired level with  
the variable steam control.*  
• If necessary, expand the poles to the  
desired height by unlocking them. Gently  
pull the hanger with the hand and lock the  
poles to the desired height with the other  
hand. Take care not to jam the double  
poles by pulling them asymetrically.  
• Plug in the power cord and turn on the  
power using the foot operated pedal. The  
power light will illuminate. The steamer is  
operating.  
• The unit will produce steam in 60 seconds.  
• Put garment onto the hanger head. Grasp  
the steam head with the steam vents  
pointing away from you. Start steaming by  
touching material lightly with steaming  
head and moving in an up/down vertical  
motion. Beginning at the top of the  
garment move in a downward direction.  
Always steam in a vertical position.  
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling  
noise. This is normal and caused by  
condensation. If you hear the gurgling  
noise, hold the hose up to direct the  
condensation back into the appliance.  
Warning: Do not allow the steamer to  
run dry.  
Warning: Never use the steamer more  
than 3 hours.  
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.

Crease attachement*  
Gently push into place.  
Push on the handle to open out the  
crease attachment .  
Place the garment between the crease  
attachment and steam head.  
Release the handle.  
Starting at the top of the garment, move  
the crease attachment in a downwards  
motion.  
Once unit is unplugged and completely  
cooled down, remove the crease  
attachment by sliding it off of the steam  
head.  
The lint pad is a separate accessory and  
cannot be attached to the steam head.  
You can use the lint pad independently  
from the steamer.  
Lint pad*  
The lint pad removes hair, lint and animal  
fur for a professional finish.  
To use the lint pad, slowly brush the  
clothing with the grain or nap of the  
fabric.  
The pad can be cleaned by brushing it in  
the opposite direction. We recommend  
cleaning the pad on an old cloth that can  
be discarded.  
After use  
• After using the steamer, switch the  
power off (power indicator light will go  
out) and unplug the appliance.  
• Hang steam head in an upright position  
on hanger head when not in use.  
• Wrap the cord around the power cord  
clips for storage.

• Empty water tank before storage.  
• Do not carry the steamer by the water tank  
handle.  
The unit is designed to transport with the  
convenience of rolling luggage for easy  
storage.  
Warning: Never touch the steam head until it  
has cooled down completely.  
Cleaning  
Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To  
maintain maximum performance, your  
steamer must be descaled occasionally. The  
time between two descaling operations  
depends on the quality of the water and the  
frequency with which you use the appliance.  
The appliance must be descaled at least once  
a year or after 100 hours of use.  
To carry out a descaling operation, follow the  
following steps:  
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down  
completely. Unplug the unit and remove the  
steam hose from main unit. Collapse the  
telescopic poles.  
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and  
attach it to the main unit again.  
3. Remove the tank from main unit and empty  
the water from the boiler through the open  
hose connector into a sink. Scale and other  
residues will be rinsed out.  
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 several times until the  
scale has been removed.  
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.
