Troubleshooting Guide - Rowenta Steam Generatorsuperpress Instructions For Use Manual

NOTE:
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as these will damage it.
Cleaning the soleplate
Rowenta stainless steel soleplates have excellent non-stick properties and can be simply wiped clean when
cold.
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.
Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads.
The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. 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.

Possible cause
The boiler is too full.
You are using the steam at too low a
temperature or before the iron is hot.
The water has condensed in the tubing
because you are using steam for the first
time or you have not used it for some time.
Your thermostat is not working:
the temperature is too low.
You are using chemical descaling agents.
Tap water is high in iron or rust.
You are using additives in the water for
ironing (lavender water, etc.).
There are small charred places of fabric
built up in the holes of the soleplate or in
the space between the iron cover and
the soleplate.
You are ironing at too high a tempera-
ture.
Your linen has not been rinsed properly
or you are using starch.
The boiler is empty.

Iron not at correct temperature.
You have placed your iron on a metal
iron rest. Your iron has fallen or has
been knocked.
