The “Tilt & Roll System” with its integrated wheels allows you to effortlessly move the unit from room to room, transforming any space into your personal steaming station.
- Integrated Hanger and Garment Clips: The built-in hanger, complete with two garment clips, offers versatile options for steaming various items, from full suits and dresses to pants and delicate tops.
- Sanitizing and Odor Removal: Beyond just smoothing wrinkles, the powerful steam output naturally sanitizes fabrics, killing germs, bacteria, and dust mites. It also effectively removes odors, leaving your clothes and home furnishings feeling refreshed without the need for harsh chemicals.

Making the Most of Your Master Valet: Usage Tips
Getting the best results from your Rowenta Master Valet IS6300 is straightforward once you get the hang of it. Here are some tips to ensure your garments always look impeccable:
- Preparation is Key:
- Filling the Tank: Always fill the removable water tank with clean tap water. While it’s generally fine, if you live in an area with particularly hard water, a 50/50 mix of tap and demineralized water can help prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using any additives, perfumes, or descaling chemicals in the water, as these can damage the steamer or stain your clothes.
- Assembly: The steamer is designed for easy assembly. Simply connect the telescopic pole and hanger system as instructed, ensuring everything is secure.
- Steaming Techniques:
- Hang Properly: Utilize the integrated hanger and clips to hang your garment straight and taut, especially benefiting from the Roll & Press system.
- Top to Bottom: Begin steaming at the top of the garment and slowly work your way downwards. This allows the steam to relax the fibers and gravity to pull the wrinkles out effectively.
- Slow and Steady: Use slow, steady movements, gently brushing the fabric with the steam head. For more stubborn wrinkles or thicker fabrics, you might need to make a few passes.
- Using Accessories: The IS6300 comes with a fabric brush (great for thicker materials to open up weaves for better steam penetration), a lint pad (to remove lint, hair, and pet fur), and a crease attachment (to help create crisp lines). Always test accessories on an inconspicuous area of the garment first.
- Dampness After Steaming: For heavily wrinkled items, garments might feel slightly damp after steaming. Simply let them hang for a few minutes to air dry completely before wearing or storing.
- Safety First:
- Always ensure the steamer is on a stable, flat surface during use.
- Be mindful that the steam head gets hot. Always handle it with care and direct steam away from yourself and others.
- Never use the steamer in a horizontal position, as this can cause water to spit from the steam head. If you notice spitting, hold the hose vertically for a moment to allow any condensed water to return to the tank.
Keeping It Pristine: Care and Troubleshooting
Maintaining your Rowenta Master Valet IS6300 will ensure its longevity and continued high performance.
- Storage: After each use, allow the steamer to cool completely. The telescopic pole can be collapsed for compact storage, and the Tilt & Roll system makes it easy to move the unit to a convenient storage spot.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits from tap water can build up inside the steamer. While the IS6300 is designed to handle tap water, periodic descaling is important for optimal performance. Consult your user manual for specific descaling instructions to keep your steamer running efficiently. Typically, this involves using a water-vinegar solution or a commercial descaling agent designed for steamers.
- Common Troubleshooting:
- No Steam: Check if the unit is plugged in, switched on (using the foot pedal), and if the water tank has sufficient water. The steamer needs about 60 seconds to heat up before producing steam.
- Water Spitting: This usually indicates condensation in the hose from holding it horizontally or using additives in the water. Hold the hose vertically to drain condensation and always use clean water.
- Steam Output Decreases: This is often a sign of limescale buildup, indicating it’s time for descaling.
