[. . . ] Do not leave appliance unattended while plugged in, on an ironing board, or while it is still hot. Use caution when you turn an Expert Pressure Iron & steamer upside down. Only unscrew the cap when generator is cold or there is no more pressure in the boiler. - Do not direct steam at people, animals or iron clothes while they are being worn. [. . . ] There are many types of household water softeners and the water from many of them is perfectly acceptable for use in the expert pressure iron & steamer. 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. 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. The expert pressure iron and steamer is designed to operate using tap water. While unplugged, place the pressure iron & steamer on a stable, heat resistant surface. Turning on and off Plug the expert pressure iron & steamer into a 120 volt electric outlet (Fig. 4), the iron light and steam indicator light will turn on and the steam ready light will flash. When the expert pressure iron & steamer is in use, the electric pump will make a humming noise as it pulls water into the boiler to produce steam. The expert pressure iron & steamer is ready to use when the steam ready indicator light stops flashing, (approximately 2 minutes). During ironing the temperature indicator light for the iron and the steam indicator light will turn on and off. Recommendations: To prime the steam circuit, either before using the iron for the first time, or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam trigger several times in a row, holding the iron away from your clothes. Iron temperature control setting: Start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature and finish with those which need higher temperatures. mixed fibre fabrics: set the ironing temperature to the setting for the most delicate fabric.
