Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the steamer and accessories for any signs of damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

2. Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the steamer is unplugged and cool.
2. Locate the removable water tank at the base of the steamer.
3. Slide the water tank off the main unit.
4. Open the rubber cap on the water tank.
5. Fill the tank with tap water up to the maximum fill line (150 ml capacity). For delicate fabrics or to minimize mineral buildup, distilled water is recommended.
6. Close the rubber cap securely and reattach the water tank to the steamer until it clicks into place.

3. Attaching Accessories

The Rowenta Xcel Steam Travel DR7051 comes with several useful accessories:

• Fabric Brush: Use this attachment to open fabric fibers, allowing steam to penetrate more effectively for stubborn wrinkles.
• Steam Bonnet: Place this over the steam head when steaming delicate fabrics to prevent water droplets from potentially staining the material.
• Door Hook: Hang this over a door to provide a convenient spot to hang garments for steaming.

To attach an accessory, align it with the steam head and gently press until it secures. To remove, pull it off carefully once the steamer is cool.

The Rowenta Xcel Steam Travel DR7051 is compact and designed for easy packing, fitting seamlessly into travel bags or suitcases.

The steamer comes with a fabric brush to open fibers for better steam penetration, a steam bonnet to protect delicate fabrics from water drips, a travel bag for storage, and a door hook for convenient steaming.

The steamer features dual voltage functionality, making it suitable for international travel without voltage converters.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On and Heating Up

1. Plug the steamer into an appropriate electrical outlet.
2. Press the power button. The indicator light will illuminate, typically blinking while heating.
3. Wait approximately 45 seconds for the steamer to heat up. The indicator light will become solid when ready for use.

2. Selecting Steam Settings

The DR7051 offers two steam settings:

• Delicate Mode: Ideal for lighter fabrics and garments that require gentle care.
• Turbo Mode: Provides a stronger steam output for thicker fabrics, stubborn wrinkles, or household items like curtains and upholstery.

Select the appropriate mode based on your fabric type using the dedicated buttons on the steamer handle.

3. Steaming Your Garments

1. Hang your garment using the provided door hook or a sturdy hanger. Gently pull the fabric taut with one hand.
2. Hold the steamer with the steam head facing the garment, keeping it a few inches away.
3. Press the steam trigger to release steam. For continuous steam, engage the lock feature on the trigger.
4. Move the steamer slowly up and down the fabric, allowing the steam to relax the fibers and remove wrinkles.
5. For best results, steam from top to bottom.
6. Once finished, release the steam trigger. Allow the garment to cool and dry before wearing or storing.

The steamer effectively removes wrinkles from hanging garments, providing a smooth finish.

Maintenance

1. Emptying and Cleaning the Water Tank

After each use, ensure the steamer is unplugged and completely cool. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. Rinse the tank with clean water and allow it to air dry before reattaching or storing.

2. Cleaning the Steam Head

Wipe the steam head with a soft, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

3. Descaling (if necessary)

If you notice reduced steam output or white residue, descaling may be necessary. Consult the full product manual for detailed descaling instructions. Using distilled water can help minimize mineral buildup and extend the life of your steamer.

Troubleshooting

• No Steam Output: Ensure the water tank is filled, securely attached, and the steamer is properly plugged in and heated up (indicator light solid). Check if the steam trigger is pressed or locked.
• Water Droplets/Spitting: This can occur, especially with tap water. Use the steam bonnet accessory for delicate fabrics. Using distilled water can also help reduce this issue.
• Reduced Steam: Mineral buildup can reduce steam output. Perform descaling as per the full product manual.
• Steamer Not Heating: Verify the power cord is securely plugged into a functional outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed and the indicator light is on.
