3. Operating the Steam Iron Station

The Rowenta DG8430 offers versatile ironing options, including dry ironing, steam ironing, and vertical steaming.

Operating Modes:

Dry Ironing: For dry ironing, ensure the steam function is off. Adjust the temperature dial on the iron to the appropriate setting for your fabric type.
Steam Ironing: Once the iron is heated, press the steam trigger located on the handle to release a continuous burst of steam. The Microsteam 400 soleplate ensures even steam distribution for effective wrinkle removal. Adjust the steam level as needed for different fabrics.
Vertical Steam: For hanging garments, drapes, or delicate fabrics, hold the iron vertically a few inches from the fabric. Press the steam trigger to release steam. This function helps to refresh and de-wrinkle items without direct contact.
