water with store-bought distilled or demineralized water in the following proportions: – 50% tap water, – 50% distilled or demineralized water.
However, it is necessary to operate the Self-clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.
Use the Self-clean function approximately every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard to clean the iron weekly

Types of water not to use?
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 the premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled
or demineralized water or rainwater should not be used in your Rowenta iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

**Automatic 3-position cut-out***
If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and the auto-off light will blink after the following intervals:
– After 30 sec., if the iron is left placed down on the soleplate or lying on its side.
– After 8 mins., if the iron is left standing on its heel.
To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

**Auto steam***
Your iron is equipped with the Auto steam system, it automatically adjusts the steam amount and the temperature based on the selected fabric.
