Filling with Water
Water Recommendations
Tap water
Rowenta irons are designed to be used with REGULAR TAP
WATER (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder
than this, Rowenta recommends mixing half tap water with half
distilled water which reduces the hardness; or just use inexpen-
sive bottled spring water. Never use 100% distilled water since
this can cause the iron to spit and leak.
Softened water
There are many types of household water softeners and the
water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in an
iron. However, some types of softeners, particularly those that
use chemicals such as salt, can cause the appliance to leak or
spit during use.
If you experience this type of problem, we recommend that you
try using inexpensive bottled spring water or untreated tap
water. Never use 100% pure distilled water.
Once you have changed water it will take several uses to
correct the problem. Rowenta recommends trying the steam
function for the first time on an old towel or cloth that can be dis-
carded to avoid damaging your clothes.
Iron and other impurities
If your water supply contains large amounts of appliance or
organic matter, these minerals can collect inside the iron and
eventually appear as brown stains. If you experience these pro-
blems Rowenta recommends using bottled spring water. Never
use 100% pure distilled water
Always remember:
Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch,
perfume or fabric conditioner condensed water from driers) may
not be used. Such additives can affect the properties of the
steam and, at high temperatures, can form deposits in the steam
chamber, which will mark the laundry when they are emitted
through the steam vents.
Descaling liquids / agents should not be used.
• Ensure the iron is unplugged.
• Open the filling inlet by sliding the cover down.
• Fill with water (containing no additives) to
the max mark on the water tank. We recommend
using a water pitcher rather than filling under the
tap.
• Slide cover to close.
If you need to add water during ironing, UNPLUG
the iron and follow the steps above. Ensure iron
heats back to temperature afterwards, that means
thermostat light will go out.
