TROUBLSHOOTING  
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Do not operate the steam generator with a damaged cord, plug or if the iron or any  
other part of the system has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric  
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the ironing system. Return the  
appliance to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see Warranty) for examination and repair.  
Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a risk of electric shock or injury to persons  
when the ironing system is used.  
Read all instructions before using the EURO-PRO Operating LLC Steam Generator  
Iron and follow all the instructions and safeguards carefully.  
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE  
BOILER FILLER CAP  
To close the boiler filler cap, turn  
clockwise until the point where you feel  
friction – do NOT close too tightly. The  
boiler filler cap has a gasket which can  
be flattened and damaged if the cap is  
closed too tightly. If the gasket is  
damaged, steam may escape while the  
steam generator is being used. If the  
boiler filler cap is damaged and steam  
is leaking, call EURO-PRO Operating  
LLC customer service to purchase a  
CAUTION! NEVER open the  
boiler filling cap before ALL  
the remaining steam has been  
released from the steam  
generator and the steam  
generator has cooled. To  
release the steam, press the

A WORD ON WATER  
For best results we recommend using  
100% demineralized/distilled water.  
You can use regular tap water in your  
steam generator, but should the water in  
your area be hard water we strongly  
recommend the use of 100%

CAUTION! NEVER open the  
boiler filler cap before ALL the  
remaining steam has been  
released from the steam  
generator and the steam  
generator has cooled. To

to three times by filling, shaking and  
emptying again.  
6. Wipe the outside of the steam  
generator base with a damp cloth.  
Even if you have used a steam generator iron before, please read all instructions  
and safeguards in the Use and Care Instruction Book. In addition, please note the  
following user tips:  
CLEANING THE STEAM  
GENERATOR IRON  
1. Clean the steam generator iron  
ONLY when cold.  
2. Do NOT use scouring pads,  
abrasives or harsh cleansers.  
3. Use a commercially sold soleplate  
cleanser following the manufacturers  
label instructions.  
4. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the  
outer shell of the iron.  
USING STEAM  
PLEASE NOTE: Steam performance improves after the first 6-8 hours of usage.  
The steam power increases and initial condensation at maximum  
temperature is reduced.  
1. We strongly recommend the use of  
demineralized/distilled water to  
ensure optimum performance and  
maximize the life of your steam  
generator. If you are using  
1. Make sure the temperature setting of the iron is within the steam range on the  
temperature selector.  
2. Turn power on for iron and steam generator. Before starting to use steam,  
make sure the Steam Ready Light is “ON”, indicating that steam is available.  
demineralized/distilled water, the  
steam generator should be cleaned  
once every six (6) to twelve (12)  
months. If you use regular tap water,  
the steam generator should be  
cleaned once a month.  
5. Dry soleplate and iron thoroughly  
after cleaning.  
NOTE: Trying to use steam before the Steam Ready Light is “ON” can cause water  
drops in the steam coming out of the iron.  
STORING YOUR STEAM  
GENERATOR IRON  
CLEARING THE INITIAL CONDENSATION:  
3. Clear the initial condensation by pressing the Steam Button up to 3 seconds.  
Repeat if necessary.  
1. Ensure that the seam generator is  
depressurized by opening the steam  
button on the iron until no further  
steam is escaping.  
2. Always unplug the power cord from  
the electrical outlet when not in use.  
3. Always store in a dry place away  
from the reach of children.  
4. Always drain the water tank before  
storing.  
5. Always let your steam generator cool  
completely before storing.  
2. Make sure that all the steam has  
been released from the steam  
generator before doing any cleaning  
or maintenance on the appliance.  
Follow instructions on page 7 for  
releasing the steam.  
3. Remove the power cord from the  
electrical outlet and let the unit cool  
down for at least 4 hours after it has  
been used before starting to clean  
the steam generator.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
4. While using the ironing system, if steam has not been released for more than  
approximately 5 minutes, the hose has cooled and any steam remaining in the  
hose from the last use might condense. Clear this condensation by pressing  
Steam Button before proceeding to use the iron.  
4. NEVER immerse the iron or the  
steam generator in water or any  
other liquid.  
6. Do not let power cord and steam  
hose to touch hot surfaces.  
7. Wrap the power cord and steam  
hose around the appliance loosely.  
CLEANING THE STEAM  
GENERATOR BASE  
1. Make sure that there is no steam  
remaining in the steam generator.  
2. Make sure that the steam generator is  
completely cold.  
3. Remove the boiler filler cap by slowly  
turning counter clockwise to allow any  
remaining steam to escape.  
4. Fill water tank with a solution of 20%  
vinegar and 80% water (5 oz vinegar  
and 21 oz of water) and let sit  
overnight (8-12 hours).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAM GENERATOR  
REFILLING THE STEAM  
GENERATOR  
PRESSING TIPS (cont.)  
Instructions for specific iron  
temperature settings should be  
treated as guidelines only. We  
recommend that you test each type  
of fabric on an inside seam before  
proceeding to iron the garment. The  
steam generator iron can produce  
humid steam at relatively low  
temperature settings where regular  
household irons would release  
water. At the same time, the very dry  
steam produced at the high iron  
temperature setting “•••” can be used  
on some fabrics where normally the  
use of steam is prohibited.  
WARNING! Never direct the  
steam from the iron at yourself  
or another person. Special care  
must be taken when the iron is  
used in a vertical position. The  
steam is very hot and can  
cause burns.  
1. Press the steam generator On/Off  
button to the “OFF” position.  
2. Release all the remaining steam in  
the steam generator by pressing the  
steam button until no more steam is  
coming out from the iron.  
3. Unplug the appliance from the wall  
outlet. Allow it to cool for a minimum  
of 5 minutes.  
4. To unscrew the boiler filler cap, push  
down and turn counter clockwise  
slowly. If any steam continues to  
escape, STOP and release the  
steam through the iron as in the  
steps above.  
5. Using a measuring cup, fill the water  
tank with 26 US fl. oz.  
6. Replace the boiler filler cap turning  
clockwise until you get friction. DO  
NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR GASKET  
WILL BE FLATTENED.  
PRESSING DIFFICULT FIBERS  
(i.e. 100% COTTON)  
Your Steam Generator Iron features  
a professional type iron with steam  
holes placed in the front of the iron  
soleplate. Correct ironing procedure  
involves steaming the fabric with the  
front end of the iron followed by  
pressing and drying with heat from  
the rear of the iron. For best results,  
garments should be dry after  
pressing to avoid re-wrinkling due to  
lingering dampness. Therefore, we  
recommend that you use the steam  
as required, but not continually.  
While your Steam Generator Iron  
offers high quality type professional  
type steam, some fabrics may  
PRESSING TIPS  
Dry Steam vs Humid Steam  
In a steam generator iron the steam  
is produced in the generator and not  
in the iron as with regular household  
irons. The temperature of the iron  
determines the type of steam – dry  
or humid. At high temperatures, the  
iron delivers very dry steam. Lower  
temperature settings offer humid  
steam.  
require additional moisture for best  
results. You may want to press  
cotton shirts while still damp or spray  
with water prior to ironing.
