3. Installation (Setup)

Replacing the pump tube requires careful attention. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.

1. Preparation: Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool. Empty any water from the reservoir. Place the iron on a clean, stable surface.
2. Access the Pump: Depending on your specific model, you may need to remove the outer casing or access panel of the steam iron to reach the pump assembly. Refer to your iron's original service manual for detailed disassembly instructions.
3. Disconnect Old Pump: Carefully disconnect the electrical connections and water hoses from the old pump tube. Note their positions for reassembly. Use appropriate tools to release the Oetiker clamps or other fasteners securing the hoses.
4. Remove Old Pump: Once disconnected, remove the old pump tube assembly from its housing.
5. Install New Pump: Position the new Rowenta pump tube in the same location as the old one.
6. Connect Hoses and Electrical: Reconnect the water hoses to the new pump, ensuring a tight and secure fit using the provided Oetiker clamps (or equivalent). Reattach all electrical connections correctly. Double-check all connections.
7. Reassemble Iron: Carefully reassemble the iron's casing or access panel, ensuring all screws and fasteners are tightened.

4. Post-Installation Check (Operating)

After installation, perform the following checks before regular use:

1. Fill Water Tank: Fill the water reservoir with distilled water as recommended by Rowenta.
2. Check for Leaks: Plug in the iron and turn it on. Allow it to heat up. Carefully observe the pump and hose connections for any signs of water leakage. If leaks are detected, immediately unplug the iron and re-check all connections.
3. Test Steam Function: Once heated, activate the steam function. Verify that steam is produced consistently and without unusual noises. It may take a few moments for the system to prime.
4. Initial Use: For the first use after replacement, it is advisable to iron an old cloth to ensure no residue or air bubbles affect your garments.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your new pump tube and steam iron:

• Always use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup in the pump and boiler.
• Regularly descale your steam iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Store the iron properly, ensuring no kinks or pressure on the water hoses.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after replacing the pump tube, consider the following:

• No Steam / Weak Steam:
  • Check if the water tank is sufficiently filled.
  • Ensure all hose connections are secure and not leaking.
  • Verify that the iron has reached its operating temperature.
  • The system might need to be primed; try pressing the steam button several times.
• Water Leaks:
  • Immediately unplug the iron.
  • Inspect all hose connections for proper seating and clamp tightness.
  • Ensure the pump tube itself is not damaged or cracked.
• Unusual Noises:
  • A new pump may make some noise as it primes. If the noise is excessive or persistent, unplug the iron and re-check installation.
  • Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the pump.

If problems persist, contact Rowenta customer support or a qualified service technician.
