*Cleaning the boiler is important to the performance of the iron*
5. Cleaning
We recommend that the following cleaning instructions be carried out
every 2-3 months or if you notice any water drops leaking out of the
soleplate of the Eurosteam
Soleplate
Before cleaning the iron be sure that the unit is disconnected from the power supply and that
the iron is completely cooled down. Do not use abrasives on the soleplate. Deposits and
other residues on the soleplate can be removed with a cloth soaked in a vinegar and water
solution. Keep the soleplate smooth by avoiding contact with hard or abrasive surfaces.
Boiler Tank
For a quick cleaning... Fill the iron with water, using your measure cup, to just below the max
line. Place the safety cap on and tighten till closed, plug the unit into a power surge protec-
tion bar and allow the unit to heat up. When the indicator light shuts off, unplug the unit from
the power source and let sit for 10 minutes. Shake vigorously in all directions and allow to
cool for 10 minutes more. Unscrew safety cap and empty contents into a sink; holding the
unit away from you. Use caution as water may still be hot. You should see mineral deposits
(small white or grey flakes) which is normal.
For a deep cleaning... Using your measuring cup fill to slightly below max line with 1/2 vi-
negar and 1/2 water. Be sure that tank is completely empty and fill with vinegar and water
solution. Place safety cap on tightly, and plug into a power surge protection bar. Let unit
heat up until indicator light goes off. Unplug from power source, let sit for 10 minutes and
then shake vigorously. Let cool for another 10 minutes, depress and hold down the steam
button until no more steam comes out. Unscrew safety cap and empty tank contents. This
may need to be done several times depending on how long since the last cleaning and the
type of water used. To complete, rinse tank with clear water until vinegar odour dissipates.
