IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions
should always be followed,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the iron.
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to Min. before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around handle when storing.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water
or emptying and when not in use.
6. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped
or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
iron. Ship it to the nearest Rowenta Appliance Service Center for examina-
tion and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing
board.
8. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.
Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot
water in the water tank.
9. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Rowenta and
may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
01. This is a 1200 or 1400 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
02. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12-ampere cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken
to arrange the cord so that it can not be pulled or tripped over.
03. After the iron has cooled, wrap the cord loosely around the handle.
04. Your Rowenta appliance is intended for household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burst of steam

To remove stubborn wrinkles
or press in a sharp crease, use
the burst of steam button. Press the
button firmly, a strong burst of
steam penetrates deep into the
fabric. Leave an interval of at least
four seconds between pressing the
burst of steam button. With water
in the tank, the burst of steam
button can be used as soon as the
steam ironing temperature has
been reached (

Slowly remove the protective
label/cover from the soleplate.
Holding the iron vertical, pour
water into the water filling inlet, up
to the "max." mark on the water
tank. Plug the iron into the outlet.

is not moved while it is plugged in,
an internal safety switch will turn it off.
It will turn off in 8 minutes if left verti-
cally or in 30 seconds if left on its sole-
plate or tipped over. A red flashing light
indicates that the auto-off has been
