Filling The Water Tank; Setting The Temperature - Rowenta A12HH9CUA Instructivo De Operación

1 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If in doubt, check
with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50%
untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral
elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the
appliance : water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from
refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water or
rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
IRONING BOARD: Due to the powerful steam output, a mesh type ironing board
must be used to allow any excess steam to escape and to avoid steam venting
sideways.
USE
2 • Filling the water tank
IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam
control to dry position
Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7).
Close the filling inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal.
3 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial
(fig.3).
Temperature control: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is heating
up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.10), the set temperature is reached
and you can begin ironing.
Ironing label
IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend
that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature.
For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.
