SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Your steam generator is an electrical
appliance. It should be used under normal
conditions.
It is intended for domestic use only.
For your safety, this appliance conforms to the
applicable standards and regulations (Low
Voltage, Electomagnetic Compatibility,
Materials in contact with foodstuffs, En-
vironmental Directives, as applicable...)
Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:
- A pressure release valve which, in the event
of a malfunction, releases any excess steam.
- A thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from
overheating.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience 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.
The appliance must be used and placed on a
flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.
When you place the iron on the iron rest, make
sure that the surface on which you place it is
stable.
Completely unwind the power cord from its
storage space before connecting to an earthed
socket.
Always plug your steam generator into:
- An electrical installation with voltage
between 220V and 240V. 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
linking 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.
Handle your iron carefully, particularly when
using the vertical steam function.
Never direct the steam towards persons or
animals.
Never touch the electric cords with the
soleplate of the iron.
Never leave the appliance unattended:
- when it is connected to the mains,
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the
cord.
Before filling the tank, check that the generator
is cold and unplugged.
Always unplug your appliance:
- before rinsing out the boiler,
- before cleaning your generator,
- after each use.
Before unscrewing the boiler rinse plug, wait
until the generator is cold (unplugged for
more than 2 hours).
Never fill the boiler through the rinse hole
(except for rinsing).
Never immerse your steam generator in water
or any other liquid. Never hold it under the
water tap.
While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly
under the tap.
The appliance must not be used if it has fallen
to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks
or fails to function correctly.
Never dismantle your appliance. To avoid any
danger, have it inspected in a ROWENTA
approved service centre.
If you lose or damage the boiler rinse plug,
have it replaced by a ROWENTA approved
Service Centre.
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only. In the case of professional use,
inappropriate use or failure to comply with the
instructions, ROWENTA accepts no
responsibility and the guarantee does not
apply.
