Water in your boiler? This is normal as each Eurosteam Stone Glide is
factory tested for quality purposes .
TO
START
Before you use your iron for the very rst 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 rst use.
Fill your measuring cup to ust slightly below the ma line and, using measuring cup, ll
your boiler tank. Screw on your safety cap with your cap remover. Plug unit in, and wait for
ready light to turn off. Direct the iron in a safe direction, then hold down the steam button
and continue holding the steam button to allow the full tank of steam to run out of iron. When
completed let unit cool completely.
Now you are ready to en oy 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 e perience this type of problem you should try
using ine pensive 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 iron on a stable sur-
face in hori ontal position. Using measuring cup (170 cc), ll your water boiler tank. Remove
the safety cap of the boiler. Insert the tube of the measuring cup into the hole and ll 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. Plug the unit into a
power surge bar. Put the iron in a vertical position, if not on an ironing board iron holder or
heat resistant mat and wait for the indicator light to shut off.
If unit is over lled, water may leak and or spurt from the iron plate holes at the beginning of
the ironing session when you rst depress the steam button.
At the end of every use be sure to drain the boiler by letting all steam out. Hold down the
steam button and wait until steaming has stopped, unplug and wait for unit to cool. Remove
safety cap using the provided cap remover and hold upside down to drain any remaining
water. Store in a safe place with safety cap off, allowing the boiler to breathe.
