-To  avoid  a  circuit  overload,  do  not  operate  another  high  wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
If  an  extension  cord  is  absolutely  necessary,  a  15-ampere  rated  cord
should  be  used.  Cords  rated  for  less  amperage  may  overheat.  Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or trip-
ped over.

• Press pole firmly into place. 
Locking the pole :
• With the  poles inserted  lay  the base  on
its side.
•  Turn  the  2  lockbars    on  the base of  the
steamer 90° to secure the poles.
•  Use  a  coin  or  similar  object  to  turn  the
lockbar.
•  After  the  poles  are  locked,  pick  up  the
unit and return to its use position.
Installing Integrated Hanger :

simultaneously  into  the  pole  until  the
hanger properly engages.
• If it is required to dismantle the pole from
the  main  unit,  tilt  the  appliance  and
unlock the pole first.

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.
•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. 
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.
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.

7
Use
•  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: 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. 
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. 
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.
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.

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.
Warning: Never touch the steam head until it
has cooled down completely.
• 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.
*Depending on the model: these accessories are specific to certain models or available as an option.
