Product Components

Familiarize yourself with the parts of your Rowenta Freemove Force iron:

• Soleplate: Stainless steel, scratch-resistant for optimal glide.
• Water Tank: For steam generation.
• Temperature Control Dial: Adjusts heat for different fabric types.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for transport or storage.
2. First Use Preparation: Before first use, it is recommended to iron an old piece of fabric to remove any manufacturing residues from the soleplate.
3. Filling the Water Tank:
   • Ensure the iron is unplugged and cooled.
   • Open the water tank inlet cover.
   • Fill the tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
   • Close the inlet cover securely.
4. Placing on Charging Base: Place the iron securely on its charging base. Ensure the base is on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-heating: Once plugged in, the iron will begin to heat. The indicator light on the base will flash during heating and become solid when the desired temperature is reached (approximately 30 seconds).
2. Temperature Selection: Rotate the temperature control dial to select the appropriate heat setting for your fabric type. Refer to the garment care labels.
3. Cordless Operation: Lift the iron from its base. You now have full freedom of movement for ironing.
4. Steam Function:
   • Continuous Steam: Press and hold the steam trigger under the handle for a continuous steam output of up to 35 g/min.
   • Steam Boost: For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button for an extra powerful burst of steam (up to 220 g/min).
   • Vertical Steaming: The steam boost can also be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments.
5. Recharging: When you pause ironing or need to re-heat, simply place the iron back onto its charging base. The iron recharges rapidly. The indicator light will flash during recharging and become solid when ready.
6. Dry Ironing: For dry ironing, ensure the steam function is off and select the desired temperature.
7. Automatic Shut-off: For safety, the iron features an automatic shut-off function if left unattended for a period of time.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your iron.

• Cleaning the Soleplate:
  • Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
  • Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use metallic pads or abrasive cleaners.
• Descaling (Anti-Calc System): Your iron is equipped with an anti-calc system. However, regular descaling is recommended, especially in hard water areas.
  • Refer to the specific descaling instructions provided in the full product manual for your region.
  • Generally, this involves filling the tank with a descaling solution (or water and vinegar, if recommended by Rowenta), heating the iron, and then flushing it out.
• Emptying the Water Tank: After each use, empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent mineral buildup.
• Storage: Store the iron on its charging base in an upright position in a dry, safe place, out of reach of children.
