MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR • Before cleaning, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down. • Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the boiler. • Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap. • Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it. Place it on the iron rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures. The iron soleplate : For the stainless steel soleplate we recommend the Rowenta soleplate cleaner PC05. This is available from Rowenta dealers. The high-quality soleplate of the iron makes ironing smoother and protects your laundry. For this reason, when you are not ironing, always place the iron on the non-slip pads of the base unit. Do not place the iron on rough surfaces. Do not scratch or scrape the soleplate. Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the soleplate. Details of the Rowenta guarantee are shown on the guarantee card enclosed with the appliance. This guarantee does not affect your statutory rights. Should service or further information be required please contact the Rowenta Customer Relations Department (see Helpline or enclosed Service Information leaflet). Do not attempt to dismantle the generator yourself – this will negate the guarantee. In line with a policy of continuous product improvement, Rowenta reserves the right to change product specifications without prior notice. • Your steam generator is an electrical appliance : It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended for domestic use only. • Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems : - A boiler closure cap for limiting the pressure. If there is a malfunction, the cap allows steam to escape ; - A thermal fuse for preventing any overheating. • Connect your iron only to alternating current of the voltage specified on the rating plate and only to a socket with an earth connection. • This iron complies with EEC Regulations 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC. • 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 mechanism 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 function. • Do not direct steam at people or animals. • Take care to ensure that you do not come into contact with electrical cords with the hot iron soleplate. • Always keep the steam generator away from children. (9) L N • Never leave the appliance unattended : - when it is connected ; - until it has cooled down (around 1 hour). • Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cord. • Always unplug your appliance : - before filling or emptying the boiler, - before cleaning your generator, - After 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. • 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. • If the appliance falls, receives a violent blow or is not operating correctly, do not dismantle it : take it to a ROWENTA Approved Service Centre, to avoid any danger. • This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any professional use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, Rowenta accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply. • Always put the iron with the sole plate down on the iron rest plate, never resting on its heel. PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS • Water runs through the holes in the soleplate. • The boiler is too full. • Do not fill the boiler right up to the top. • Your thermostat is not working : the temperature is always too low. • Contact an Approved Service Centre. • You are using steam before the iron is hot enough. • The water has condensed in the pipes because you are using steam for the first time or you have not used it for some time. On models DG520 and DG530 only : • The steam output control is set too high for the temperature set on the iron. • Wait for the iron temperature control light to go out before ironing. • Press the steam control button away from your ironing board until the iron produces steam. On models DG 520 and DG 530 only : • Decrease the steam output while ironing at low temperature (steam output control dial on the control panel). • White streaks come through the holes in the soleplate. • Your boiler has a build-up of scale because it is not rinsed out regularly. • Rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses (see paragraph10). If your water is hard, increase the frequency. • Brown streaks come through the holes in the soleplate and stain the linen. • You are using chemical descaling agents or additives in the water for ironing. • Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently or you have ironed a new garment before washing it • Never add this type of product in the boiler (see our recommendations regarding water to be used). • Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove any soap deposits or chemicals on new garments. • The sole plate is dirty or brown and may stain the linen. • You are ironing at too high a temperature. • You are using starch. • See our recommendations regarding temperature control setting. • Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed. • There is little or no steam. • The boiler is empty. • The boiler is not yet ready. On models DG 520 and DG 530 only : • The steam output control dial is set at minimum. • Fill the boiler. • After switching on, wait for the on/off indicator light to go out (after 7 mins.). On models DG 520 and DG 530 only : • Increase the steam output (control dial on the control panel). • Cap screwed on incorrectly. • The seal on the cap is damaged. • The equipment is faulty. • Screw the cap back on. • Change the cap seal (sachet in the packaging). • Stop using the generator and contact an Approved Service Centre. • Steam escapes from the boiler cap. For best results, we advise you to repeat this operation. E 13. IS THERE A PROBLEM ? 10. RINSING OUT THE BOILER Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after every 10 uses. If your water is hard, increase the frequency. In particular, do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it. The mains lead is fitted with a BS 1363 13 A plug.
