*Important notice for 2400 W models only :**

Under unfavorable mains conditions, phenomena like transient voltage drops or lighting fluctuations can happen. Therefore, it is recommended that the iron is connected to a power supply system with a maximum impedance of 0,15 1. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the interface point.

STEAMFORCE, CONCENTRATED INNOVATION…

Small in size , Steamforce combines power and performance thanks to the compact steam generator built inside the iron. With unparalleled steam generation capacity reaching 230g/min and variable steam of up to 65g/min, Steamforce pushes up to 50% more steam* into the fibres of your fabric. This extra steam at the heart of the fabric is the secret of perfect ironing and long-lasting results.

The movement sensor is an intelligent system which temporarily stops steam being released when the iron is not moving, even when it is placed horizontally. This function eliminates wasted steam while you are handling the clothes !

Throughout the ironing session, the LED screen displays the selected fabric type: as soon as the appropriate temperature is reached, the user is informed directly via the screen. This is ideal for protecting the most delicate garments. * compared with an iron with no pump

BEFORE USE

IMPORTANT
Before doing anything else, remove the sticker on the side fig.1 (depending on model) Warning! Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend that you operate the steam in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your linen, i.e. press the Shot of Steam button a few times.
During the first few uses, a harmless odour and a small amount of smoke may be noticeable.
This has no effect on the use of the iron and will cease quickly.
Upon the first use, you may notice small particles coming out of the soleplate. This is parf of manufacturing process and is not harmful to you or your garments. It will disappear after several uses. You may accelerate this by using the self cleaning function (fig.13a – 13b) and shaking the iron gently.

WHAT WATER MAY BE USED ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

IMPORTANT
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance:
water from tumble dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiling, or bottled mineral water.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down before maintenance and cleaning.

13 · Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

14 · Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe the iron down with a damp cloth or sponge. A non abrasive cleaning agent can be used. Alternatively the ROWENTA cleaning kit ZD100 D1 can be used.
