Setup
Before First Use
- Remove any labels or protective covers from the soleplate.
- It is recommended to iron an old piece of fabric for a few minutes to eliminate any manufacturing residue from the soleplate.
Filling the Water Tank
- Ensure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
- Open the water tank inlet cover.
- Fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
- Close the water tank inlet cover securely.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
- Plug the iron into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type. Refer to the garment care label for guidance.
- The indicator light will illuminate while the iron is heating and turn off when the selected temperature is reached.
Steam Ironing
- Ensure the water tank is filled.
- Set the temperature dial to a steam-compatible setting (usually indicated by steam symbols on the dial).
- Once the iron reaches the set temperature, adjust the steam control to the desired steam output.
- For a powerful burst of steam (200g), press the steam shot button. This is effective for stubborn wrinkles.
Dry Ironing
- Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control is set to the 'dry' position.
- Set the temperature dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric.
- Proceed with ironing as usual.
Vertical Steaming
- Hang the garment on a hanger.
- Set the iron to a high temperature with maximum steam.
- Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam shot button repeatedly to release steam.
Spray Function
- Press the spray button to emit a fine mist of water onto the fabric, which helps to dampen and smooth out wrinkles.
Automatic Shut-off
For safety, the Rowenta DW8270 Pro Master X-CEL Steam Iron is equipped with a 3-way automatic shut-off system. The iron will automatically turn off after 8 minutes if left vertically, or after 30 seconds if left face down or on its side. The indicator light will flash to signal that the iron has entered auto shut-off mode. To restart, simply move the iron.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Soleplate
- Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the stainless-steel soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.

Storage

- Empty any remaining water from the tank.
- Store the iron in an upright position to prevent damage to the soleplate.
- Wrap the power cord loosely around the cord wrap area if available, or secure it without tight coiling.
