WHAT WATER TO USE?
Your appliance was designed to operate using tap water.
However, it is necessary to periodically clean the steam chamber to remove any
mineral deposits.
If your water is very hard (above 30°f or 17°dH or 21°e), mix 50% tap water
with 50% demineralised water {available in hardware stores).
Do not use water with additive (starch, perfume, aromatic substances,
softener, etc.), condensation water (e.g. water from clothes dryers, water
from refrigerators, water from air conditioners, rainwater), pure
demineralized or pure demineralised water.
These types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become
concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking or
premature wear on your iron.

STEAMFORCE PRO, CONCENTRATED INNOVATION…
Innovative Steam Power Control technology provides stunning results with
flawless precision.
Let’s break the rules of performance. The powerful pump system inspired by
Rowenta’s line of steam stations provides up to 2,5X more steam into the
fabric* to achieve perfect results. The Steam Power Control Technology allows
perfect control over the steam
power. A smart trigger enables you to control the amount of steam and activate
it only when you need, for a personal experience.
Smart control panel has 5 pre-settings for different fabric types. Smart
controls will automatically adapt to a precise temperature of the soleplate
and steam output. There’s no need to worry about burning your fabrics.
