IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your iron, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions carefully.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids. Always turn
the iron to “OFF” before plugging in
or unplugging from outlet.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot
surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away.
6. Always disconnect iron from
electrical outlet when filling with
water, emptying, or when not in use.
7. Do not operate iron with a damaged
cord, or after the iron has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble the iron. Send it
to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for
examination and repair. Incorrect
re-assembly can cause the risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for
any appliance being used by or near
children. Do not leave iron
unattended while connected or on an
ironing board.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot
metal parts, hot water or steam. Use
caution when you turn a steam iron
upside down; there may be hot
water in the reservoir.
10.Never direct steam at any person,
especially when using the iron in a
vertical position. The steam is very
hot and could cause burns.
11.The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by EURO-PRO
Operating LLC may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.
12.Do not operate in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.
13.Make sure that the cord set never
touches the iron soleplate when it is
hot.
14.This appliance is for household
use only.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, use a 13-ampere cord.
Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Use care to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
WARNING: Water must first be
pumped (look for pump light to be
illuminated) from the water tank to the
iron before steam will exit: water
requires approximately 2 minutes to
pass through the hose and reach the
iron. Once this is done, you will not have
to wait again - you will have continuous
steam (if you keep pump on). Please
note though that you must also adjust
variable steam to desired output level or
steam will not exit the iron.

should be set on ‘•••’.
• Make sure the temperature control dial is set in
the correct steam area, e.g. ‘•’, for more steam, turn
temperature dial to higher setting, e.g. ‘•••’.
• If temperature setting is correct and there is no steam,
gently
tap the soleplate on the ironing board a few
times.
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set temperature control
dial to the ‘Max’ position. Always allow iron sufficient
time to heat up (thermostat light goes off) before
pressing the steam button.
• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between
each burst.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty
water and follow instructions for filling.
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires
seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2
tanks until steam performance improves.
1. Your Steam Station iron is designed
to rest only on the iron rest provided
with the iron. Do not rest iron on
soleplate.
2. Never use or rest iron on an
unstable surface.
3. While the iron is hot, never set iron
on an unprotected surface - even if it
is on its heel rest.
4. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER
INJURY, before filling the iron
with water, make sure that the
plug is removed from the outlet.
5. CAUTION: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other solution, as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
IRONING CHART
Filling the Water Tank
Steam irons should be used with tap
water up to 3 mmol/l alkaline earth ions
(check the degree of hardness of your
water with your local water authority) or a
mixture of distilled/demineralized water
with tap water.
If your tap water is very hard, you can
mix 1:1 distilled / demineralized water
with mineral water so that your steam
performance will be good.
Never use water containing additives,
battery top-up water from service
stations, water from household softening
systems or descaling agents.
Distilled/Demineralized Water:
This should normally be mixed 1:1 with
tap water. The use of pure
distilled/demineralized water creates
difficulties with steam production and can
cause water to escape through the
soleplate (formation of drops).
Note: If water escapes through the
soleplate while you are using
distilled/demineralized water,
we recommend you use tap water 3 or 4
times.
Water with Additives:
Starch, conditioner, perfume and fabric
conditioner should never be added to the
water. These result in residues in the
steam chamber which will damage your
iron and stain your laundry. For this
reason, no condensed water (water from
driers may be used, as this can contain
additives (e.g. conditioner).
Descaling the Iron:
Do not use chemical descaling agents as
these can cause damage to the iron and
stain your laundry.
Water From Household Water
Softening Systems:
Do not use water from household water
softening systems because even though
these systems remove calcium from the
water, they add other substances to it.
Therefore this water is not suitable for
steam irons.
Filling the Water Tank
1. Push down the water tank lock.
2. Slide out the water tank from under
the iron stand. (Fig. 2)
3. Rotate slightly the top of the “AntiCalc” Cassette and pull it out of the
water tank.
4. Fill the water tank up to the “Max”
mark, as shown below in fig. 3.
Water Tank Lock
Fig. 2
Slide Out
Fig. 3
5. Return the water tank to its place,
under the iron stand.
Note
: Make sure that the water tank is
pushed back to its place and the lock is
closed. If the water tank is not in its
place, it will not be able to deliver water
from the pump to the iron.
Setting the Ironing Temperature
• Place the iron on the rubber mat on
the water tank.
• Plug the power cord into the
electrical outlet.
• Select the required temperature
setting on the temperature control
dial using the Ironing Chart
on page 6.
• The temperature pilot light will come
“On” indicating that the iron is
heating up.
• When the temperature pilot light has
gone “Off”, the set temperature has
been reached and the iron is ready
for use.
NOTE: Before starting to iron delicate
fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or an
inside seam.
To select iron temperature, align
temperature selected on dial with
the indicator on the water tank.

Ironing Temperature
Always check first to see whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be
ironed. (See table above.) Follow these ironing instructions in all cases. If ironing instructions
are missing, but you do know the kind of fabric, then see the table. The table is valid for the
materials only and is not applicable to any applied finish, gloss, etc… Fabric to which some
kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkles, relief, etc.) can be ironed at the lowest
temperature such as those made of synthetic fibers. Sort the laundry out according to ironing
temperature first: wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc…
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the
lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic fibers. If the fabric consists of various
kinds of fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of
those fibers. (For example: an article consisting of “60% polyester and 40% cotton” should be
ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (•) and without steam.)
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article has been made of, find a spot which will
be invisible when wearing or using the article. Try out the ironing temperature which is most
suitable there. (Start at a relatively low temperature.) Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be
pressed with the iron set to a steam position. Preferable set the steam control to maximum
position and use a dry pressing cloth. When steam-ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric
may occur. This can be prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction
only (with the nap) applying light pressure. Always keep the iron moving.
Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk to prevent shining spots. Do not use the
spray button to prevent stains.
