ROWENTA Variable steam control iron - Manual (Page 6)

Spray Setting
- This feature is ideal for stubborn or set in.
- Ensure there is water in the tank then press
the spray button.
- Do not spray silk.
Anti-Drip System (depending on model)
- In order to produce steam, all irons require a high tempera-
ture. If the soleplate is not hot enough some of the water will
not turn to steam and can spit or leak from the soleplate.
The Anti-Drip system automatically switches off the steam
when ironing at low temperatures to prevent spitting.
Anti-Calc System
- Minerals in water can build up in the steam chamber.
The Anti-Calc system contains a special material that
neutralizes the harmful minerals. This system is designed
to extend and maintain the high steam performance of the
iron. The cartridge is not replaceable.
Self Clean
Warning! Do not use descaling agents. They can damage the
lining of the steam chamber.
This feature allows loose mineral deposits and other impurities
to be flushed from the soleplate.
Self Clean should be carried out occasionally and at least once
a month.
- Fill the iron with tap water to the max mark
on the water tank.
- Be sure that variable steam lever is set to m
minimum.
- Stand the iron on heel and plug in.
` - Set thermostat to (•••) setting.
- Once heated, unplug iron.
- Hold iron horizontally over the sink with the
soleplate pointing away from body.
- Move the variable steam lever completely to
the right and hold in the self clean position
for one minute.
Warning! Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be
ejected from the soleplate. Take all proper precautions and
hold iron away from body.
- Move the iron gently back and forth and side to side until all
water has run through plate.
- Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with
an old towel, as the water and minerals can stain the sole-
plate (although this has no effect on glide or performance).
