Assembly

Preparation

Press pole firmly into place.

Locking the pole

Lay the base on its side with the inserted pole.
Turn the lockbar located on the bottom of the base 90° to secure the pole. Use a coin or similar object to turn the lockbar.
After the pole is locked, pick up the unit and return to its use position

Installing Integrated Hanger

Position the hanger with the brush hooks facing to the outer side
Check for correct orientation with the index marks matching
Insert the end of the hanger into the pole connection and press it into the pole until the hanger properly engages. If it is required to dismantle the pole from the main unit, tilt the appliance and unlock the pole first

Dismantling of the hanger from the pole by the customer is not foreseen.

Attaching Steam hose to main unit

Insert hose plug into hose connector on main unit.
Secure hose connector by pulling clamping ring upwards.

Filling the water tank

The steamer is designed to be used with TAP WATER. If the water in your area is hard, Rowenta recommends that you mix half tap water and half distilled water, which reduces the hardness or just use inexpensive bottled spring water.
IMPORTANT: Never use water that contains additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc) in the steamer. Additives such as these can affect the properties of the steam and lead to the formation of deposits.
Ensure that the steamer is unplugged. Remove the water tank from the base of the appliance by pulling it upwards. Unscrew the lid and fill the tank. The tank holds 128 ounces.
After closing the lid, place the water tank on the base of the appliance.

Tips

We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recommendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the labels of the clothing to be steamed.
Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment that is not visible (inside of a hem).
Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise the hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation. You may hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.
Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
Be careful at all times.

Rowenta USA Garment Steamer GS6010 Use

Warning: Never steam a garment while it is being worn. The hose and steam head may become hot during use. This is perfectly normal. Be careful and avoid any prolonged contact.

Only operate the steamer on the floor clear of any materials which may obstruct the base of the steamer (flat and horizontal surface). Do not obstruct the openings on the lower part of the appliance.
If necessary, expand the poles to the desired height by unlocking them, pulling them gently and locking them again. Unlock the three clips while keeping integrated hanger in your hand.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the power using the foot operated pedal. The power light will illuminate. The steamer is operating.
The unit will produce steam in 60 seconds.
Hang garment onto the hanger head. Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start steaming by touching material lightly with steaming head and moving in an up/down vertical motion. Beginning at the top of the garment move in a downward direction. Always steam in a vertical position.
During use, the hose sometimes makes a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to condensation. If you hear the gurgling noise, hold the hose up to direct the condensation back into the appliance.

Warning: Do not allow the steamer to run dry. Warning: Never use the steamer more than 3 hours.

Release the handle.
Starting at the top of the garment, move the crease attachment in a downwards motion.

Fabric brush

Setup Guide

The GS6010 from Rowenta USA Garment Steamer requires no complicated setup. Verify that the steamer is unplugged and that the water tank is empty before proceeding. Put distilled water into the water tank until it reaches the mark. Next, turn on the steamer and let it heat up for a couple of minutes. The fabric hood, built-in hanger, or integrated garment rack and pole allow you to begin steaming your garments as soon as the steamer is ready. For optimal results, use the lint pad, fabric brush, or crease attachment as directed.

Cleaning

Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled occasionally. The time between descaling operations depends on the quality of the water and the frequency with which you use the appliance. The appliance must be described at least once a year or after 50 hours of use. To carry out a descaling operation, follow the following steps:

Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely. Unplug the unit and remove the steam hose from main unit. Collapse the telescopic pole.
Fill the water tank with fresh water and attach it to the main unit again, allowing water to fill the boiler.
Remove the tank from the main unit and empty the water from the boiler through the open hose connector into a sink. Scale and other residues will be rinsed out.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 several times until the scale has been removed.

TIP: For more effective descaling, after every 50 hours of use, use descalers available at your store recommended for garment steamers or electric kettles. To avoid irritant vapors, use products based on citric acid only. Follow the product's instructions for use with garment steamers or electric kettles.
