2. Turn the unit to off (see section Turning On and Off) and unplug from outlet. 3. Slowly unscrew the boiler cap. Using a water pitcher, fill with 33 oz. of water. Do not fill water tank past the base of the boiler cap thread. Be sure that water does not spill over. If this occurs remove the excess water. 4. Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly. 5. Plug back in to electrical outlet. AFTER IRONING 1. Turn the unit off. (Consult section Turning On and Off.) 2. Unplug the appliance. 3. Place the iron on the iron rest and allow to cool completely which will take approximately 1 hour. 4. Once cold, empty water from the appliance before storing. We recommend emptying the boiler when not in use. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is unplugged and completely cooled down. The iron can be cleaned with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Never use household cleaners, descalers or solvents. CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE . In normal use a draggy coating may build up on the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic fibers). This can be easily removed by using the Rowenta Soleplate Cleaning Kit or a quality hot iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores. . To prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over sharp objects (zippers, etc.).Do not place the iron on rough surfaces, e.g. metal iron support, which may scratch the soleplate. Place the iron on its rest on top of the base of the unit. . Always put the iron with the soleplate down on the iron rest, never place on its heel. RINSING OUT THE BOILER RINSING OUT THE BOILER Do not use descaling agents. To ensure optimum steam performance, the boiler must be rinsed out after every 10 uses. If your tap water is hard increase the frequency. Boiler Cap 1. Check that the generator is unplugged and cold. 2. Fill the boiler 3/4 full with tap water. 3. Shake the boiler for a few moments and then empty it over a sink. 4. Repeat the process 5. Wipe the generator base regularly with a damp cloth and wipe dry. 6. Never hold the generator under the tap. To ensure a proper seal, please check the red rubber ring in the safety cap for wear and tear regularly. If wear is noted, replace ring. Replacement rings are available through our main service centers. 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 inexpensive bottled spring water. Never use 100 % distilled water as 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 steam generator. 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 discarded to avoid damaging your clothes. Iron and other impurities If your water supply contains large amounts of iron or organic matter, these minerals can collect inside the appliance and eventually appear as brown stains. If you experience these problems Rowenta recommends using inexpensive bottles spring water. Never use 100 % pure distilled water. Always remember: Battery water and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner) 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. TROUBLESHOOTING Issues Possible causes Solutions Water runs Boiler is too full. through the holes in the soleplate. Thermostat isn't working. The iron was used before it had reached temperatures. Water has condensed in the steam tube as iron hasn't been used for some time. DG 580 Steam output control dial is set too high for the temperature set on the iron. Do not fill the boiler with more than 33oz water. Send appliance to an authorized service center. Wait for the temperature/ steam control lights to go out before ironing. Press the steam control button away from your clothes until iron produces steam.
