IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
- Only use an iron for its intended use.
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
- Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
- Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
- Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
- Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when the iron is used after reassembly.
- Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near chil-dren. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
- Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir.
- To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate an iron on the same circuit with another high wattage appliance.
- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
- The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface;
- When placing the iron on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable;
- The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the sup-ply mains.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of ex-perience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
- Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet, before you leave the room.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 demineralized 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 dis-tilled or demineralized
water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiling,
or bottled mineral water.
Before first use:
There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
ENVIRONMENT
Environment protection first!
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.

FAQs
What are the disadvantages of Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
Because steam irons don’t produce as much heat as steam generators or other steaming systems, it may take a while to iron your fabrics and they require more frequent refills than other steam ironing systems.
How long should my Rowenta DW2459 steam iron last?
Because steam irons don’t produce as much heat as steam generators or other steaming systems, it may take a while to iron your fabrics and they require more frequent refills than other steam ironing systems.
What happens if you use a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron without water?
Yes. Simply unplug your steam iron, allow it to cool, and then empty the water tank to remove the water from the iron. Turn the dial to the dry/steam setting, if your iron has one, or to the “MIN” setting, if it doesn’t have a dry/steam setting.
Does Rowenta DW2459 steam iron consume a lot of electricity?
Each day, a steam iron or flatiron uses roughly 800–2000 watts. For instance, your iron will consume about 5 kWh of electricity if you leave it on for 10 minutes each day for a month. Though your model is one of your appliances with one of the highest electricity usage rates, you can calculate the precise amount it consumes.
What are the benefits of a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
The best way to give your clothes a perfectly pressed appearance and feel at home is with a steam iron. Your clothes’ fibres become moistened by the steam from the iron, which makes pressing them simpler. In addition to this, the steam keeps the fibres in place for a longer period of time.
How do you maintain a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
Keep the anti-calc valve clean. To do this, unplug the iron and give it 45 minutes to cool. Maintain a spotless and smooth soleplate. Wipe the soleplate of your Tefal Access Easy with a damp, smooth cloth to keep it running smoothly. Observe the after-use procedure.
What wattage of Rowenta DW2459 steam iron is best?
Each iron we suggest has a minimum of 1,500 watts, which is adequate for the job. I’ve discovered through testing that low-wattage irons don’t generate enough heat and steam to remove stubborn wrinkles.
What water is best for Rowenta DW2459 steam irons?
Therefore, it is advised to use distilled or demineralized water (50 percent tap water and 50 percent demineralized water could also be used) to increase the lifespan of your iron or steamer.
How long does a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron take to heat up?
Generally speaking, it takes two minutes for your iron to heat up. You can tell when your iron has reached the proper temperature for the fabric type you chose by looking at the “Wait” and “Ready” indicators.
How do you stop a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron from rusting?
Filling a steam iron requires using distilled water at all times. Even
municipally produced, filter-free water contains minerals that can corrode or
clog your iron.
After each use, empty the water reservoir on the iron. Any drips should be
cleaned up with a microfiber cloth.
Can you put boiled water in a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
Additionally, it may cause stains on your clothing and shorten the lifespan of your iron. While using cooled, boiled water and avoiding leaving water in your iron between uses can help reduce limescale buildup, you should still get into the habit of regularly descaling your iron.
What temperature is Rowenta DW2459 iron steam?
Depending on the fabric, the heating is typically done at a temperature of 180-220 °Celsius (356-428 °F). Ironing breaks the bonds that hold the long- chain polymer molecules in the fabric’s fibres together.
Can you put vinegar in a Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
If you have a steam iron, you can also use a mixture of half distilled white vinegar and half water to fill the water reservoir to clean out the iron steam vents.
How do you clean a smelly Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
Pour into the iron a mixture of half a cup of distilled white vinegar and half a cup of distilled water. Examine the steam vents for any buildup of white residue or other materials, and then clean them out with a toothbrush or toothpick dipped in vinegar. The iron should be plugged in, set to steam, and given five minutes to cool.
Why is brown stuff coming out of my Rowenta DW2459 steam iron?
When using steam, if the iron leaves brown water stains on the clothes, the reservoir needs to be cleaned. Fill the reservoir with 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar and 3/4 cup distilled water after completely emptying it.
