USING YOUR EUROSTEAM IRON
®
Water in your boiler? This is normal as each Eurosteam Next Generation
®
Iron is factory tested for quality purposes .
TO
START
Before you use your iron for the very first time you will need to prime the unit to
ensure that your Eurosteam® iron is in optimal working order. You will only need
to perform this procedure once, prior to its first use.
Fill your measuring cup to just slightly below the max line and, using measuring cup, fill your
boiler tank. Screw on your safety cap with your cap remover and make sure that your steam
dial is turned all the way off (turn counter clockwise). Plug unit in, switch on and wait for
ready light to turn off. Holding iron turn steam dial all the way on (turn clockwise). Keep
holding unit and allow full tank of steam to run out of iron. When completed let unit cool
completely.
Now you are ready to enjoy Eurosteam ® ironing.
1. Water
The Eurosteam® Iron is designed to use regular tap water. Never use 100% distilled water
as this may lead to damage inside the boiler.
About Softened Water and Well Water
Many types of water contain naturally high levels of sodium, iron, mineral and organic mat-
ter. If these collect inside the boiler it can eventually appear as brown stains or can cause
your Eurosteam® to spit during use. If you experience this type of problem you should try
using inexpensive bottled spring water.
Never use water that has any additives such as starch, perfume or fabric conditioner. The
additives can affect the boiler, at high temperatures deposits can form and emit stains and
cause blockage of the steam vents.
2. Filling internal Water/boiler Tank
Fill water tank while the Eurosteam® is unplugged and cool. Place your rubber mat on a
stable surface with the Eurosteam® on top. Using measuring cup (210 cc), fill your water/
boiler tank. Remove the safety cap of the boiler. Insert the tube of the measuring cup into
the hole and fill the boiler. Place safety cap in position and tightened, by turning until it stops
and then tighten slightly without applying too much pressure to avoid breaking the O-ring.
If unit is over filled water may leak and/or spurt from the iron plate at the beginning of the
ironing session.
At the end of every use be sure to drain the boiler by letting all steam out. Turn your steam
dial all the way on (turn clockwise) and wait until steaming has stopped, power off, unplug
and wait for unit to cool. Remove safety cap and hold upside down to drain any remaining
water. Store in a safe place with safety cap off, allowing the boiler to breathe.
