• This appliance is not intended to be used by children or without supervision by persons whose
physical, sensory or mental aptitude to use it in complete safety is impaired.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• When you place the iron on the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable.
• Always plug your steam generator into :
- An electrical installation with a voltage between 220 V and 240 V.
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate
your guarantee.
- An earthed socket. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (10A) with an
earth, and is fully extended.
• Should the power cord or the boiler cord l
inking the iron to the base unit become damaged, it must be
replaced by a ROWENTA Approved Service Centre to avoid the risk of danger or injury.
Be careful :
• The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns : never touch these parts.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.

- Af
ter each use.
• In order to unscrew the boiler cap, always ensure that :
- either your generator is cold (that is, disconnected for over 1 hour) ;
- or there is no more pressure in the boiler (the iron does not produce any steam when the steam button
control is activated).
In all other cases, never attempt to unscrew the boiler cap while the appliance is in use : the strong steam
pressure could cause burns.
Be careful :
If the boiler cap is dropped or severely knocked, have it replaced by a ROWENTA Approved Service
Centre, as it may be damaged.
