Product Overview and Components
Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Rowenta DR5015 Ultra Steam Brush:
- Steam Head: Wide design for maximum steam distribution.
- Water Tank: Removable, transparent tank with a 1.7-ounce capacity.

- Variable Steam Control: Adjusts steam output.
- Power Cord: For electrical connection.

Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Fill Water Tank: Remove the transparent water tank from the handle. Fill it with distilled water up to the maximum fill line. Tap water can be used but may lead to mineral buildup over time. Securely reattach the water tank to the steamer. No pumping or priming is required.
- Attach Accessories (Optional): For specific fabric types or to remove lint, attach the fabric brush or lint pad to the steam head as needed. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective garment steaming:
- Pre-heating: Once plugged in, the steamer will begin to heat up. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the unit to reach operating temperature.
- Steam Activation: Press and hold the steam trigger to release continuous steam. Release the trigger to stop steaming.
- Variable Steam Control: Use the variable steam dial to adjust the intensity of the steam output according to the fabric type. Lower settings for delicate fabrics, higher settings for heavier materials.
- Steaming Technique: Hold the garment taut with one hand and move the steam head slowly over the fabric in a vertical motion. For best results, steam from top to bottom. The fabric brush can help open fabric weaves for deeper steam penetration.
- Finishing: Once wrinkles are removed, allow the garment to cool and dry completely before wearing or storing to prevent new wrinkles.


Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your steamer:
- Empty Water Tank: After each use, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool. Remove and empty any remaining water from the tank.
- Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning Accessories: Remove the fabric brush and lint pad. Clean them as needed with a damp cloth or by hand-washing if heavily soiled, then allow to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.
- Descaling (if using tap water): If you notice reduced steam output or mineral residue, descale the unit. Consult the full product manual for detailed descaling instructions, typically involving a vinegar solution.
- Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place. Utilize the hanging hook for convenient storage and the travel pouch for protection when traveling.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Steam Output:
- Ensure the water tank is filled and correctly seated.
- Check if the steamer is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Allow sufficient time for pre-heating (approx. 30 seconds).
- Confirm the steam trigger is pressed and held.
- Water Spitting/Leaking:
- This can occur if the steamer has not fully heated up. Wait until it is ready before steaming.
- Ensure the water tank cap is securely closed.
- Excessive mineral buildup can cause spitting; consider descaling.
- Reduced Steam Output:
- The water tank may be low or empty.
- Mineral buildup might be obstructing steam vents; descale the unit.
- Check the variable steam control setting.
