Euro-Pro STEAM GENERATOR IRON G6118 - Manual (Page 3)

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
On/Off button to the “Off”
position and push the steam
button on the iron until no
more steam comes out of the
iron. Then open the boiler filler
cap slowly.
Read all instructions before using the EURO-PRO Operating LLC Steam Generator
Iron and follow all the instructions and safeguards carefully.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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
replacement boiler filler cap.
NEVER LEAVE THE HOT IRON
RESTING ON THE IRON REST
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
The lifespan of your steam generator
will be reduced if the iron is left idle at
high temperatures for extended
periods of time. If the iron is not in use,
reduce the temperature to the lowest
temperature setting on the temperature
control thermostat, turn the steam
generator “Off” and remove the power
cord from the electrical power outlet.
WARRANTED FOR REGULAR
HOUSEHOLD USE
While the Steam Generator Iron is a
professional type ironing system; it is
intended for and warranted only for
normal household use. The iron and/or
steam generator should not be used
for more than fifteen (15) hours per

TROUBLSHOOTING
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

PROBLEM
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%
demineralized/distilled water. This will
prolong the life of your generator and
reduce the frequency of required generator
cleaning, as well as the possibility of
staining due to accumulated impurities.
DO NOT USE WATER PROCESSED
THROUGH A HOME WATER
SOFTENING SYSTEM OR BOTTLED
MINERAL WATER.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE STEAM
GENERATOR
When empty, the steam generator can be
filled with 26 U.S. fl. oz. of demineralized/
distilled water. Do NOT overfill. Overfilling
the water tank can cause water drops to
come out of the steam holes. See filling
instructions on page 5.
