TECHNICAL DATA

Working voltage: 120V

Nominal capacity of the tank: 4.5 Liters – 1.25 U.S. Gallon Boiler power: 1 heating element 1200W

Power consumption: 16.7 amps (6000IS/120V), 10 amps (6000CJ, 6000CD) Service pressure: 3.5 Bar/4 Bar

Maximum pressure: 4.5 Bar

HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE

1.Remove the steam station from its packing and make sure all packing has been removed (including the protective bags). Put the station on a flat and solid surface.

2.Your boiler is supplied with a safety cap on the blow-down valve (left side of tank), as well as a plastic hose and fitting to secure the hose. Please remove the safety cap and install the hose and fitting. This will allow you to follow the proper cleaning procedure (ref. to flush the boiler tank). If there is a problem with the blow-down valve (leaking) you can use the safety cap to prevent water from leaking until you have the valve replaced.

3.A) 6000IS/2100IR: It is recommended to put the iron on the iron pad, (supplied) as the pad will withstand the temperature of the iron. B) 6000CJ: Screw the nozzle into the steam fitting and plug in the 4-pin receptacle for the electronic foot pedal. C) 6000CD: Connect the steam gun or steam brush the same way using the quick disconnect for the steam hose.

4.Insert the two-piece wand (mod. 6000IS) or one-piece wand (mod. 6000CD) into the flange on top of the boiler, tighten with the side screw and attach the spring on the hose (mod. 6000IS) to the coil end of the wand. Note: mod. 6000CJ is not supplied with a wand.

5.Before beginning any operation, make sure that the exhaust valve (9) is closed and the drain hose is installed (ref. step #2).

6.Unscrew the safety cap (5). Fill the boiler with water to the maximum as marked on the water level stick. Use the funnel supplied, making sure you do not overfill the tank.

7.Insert the plug into the electrical outlet; switch on the boiler (2) and steam buttons (1). When the two button lights come on, the steam device and boiler are working.

8.For the 6000IS iron system, turn the iron plate’s temperature regulating knob (12) to the desired temperature.

05

9.Wait approximately 20 minutes for the boiler to reach maximum pressure. Once it reaches 60 psi, the unit is now ready to operate.

10.NOTE: When you call for steam for the first time (after having turned the boiler on) you might notice a fast decrease in pressure. This is normal for the first time.

11.The steam station is ready for use.

12.Push the steam button or the foot pedal for steam.

13.This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5) and the thermostat reset button (14, 11 or 13). During operation, if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.

•Press the steam iron button or foot pedal to ensure there is no more steam in the boiler.

•Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with warm water.

•Replace the cap, tighten and press the thermostat reset button (14, 11 or 13), wait for it to build up pressure again.

IMPORTANT

When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill cap one-turn on the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will eliminate the vacuum that may cause damage to the pressure gauge.

For a longer life and better machine performance we suggest that you flush out the boiler tank once a week. Flushing the tank will help slow the sediment/mineral buildup that may occur.

TO FLUSH THE BOILER TANK

(Be careful as the water will be very hot as it comes out of the tank):

1.Release the excess steam still inside the boiler at the end of use (see item #13 above).

2.Turn off the steam switch power switch and unplug the boiler unit.

3.Carefully open the filler plug cap.

4.Make sure the clear drain tubing has been installed on to the blow-down valve (drawing reference #9) situated on the lower right side of the tank, and the tubing is draining into something that can hold hot water.

5.Open the blow down valve. Drain the remaining water from the boiler tank.

6.Close the valve.
