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. A) i500 – It is recommended to put the iron on the iron pad, (supplied) as the pad will
withstand the temperature of the iron. B) i500A – Screw the nozzle into the steam fit-
ting and plug in the 4-pin receptacle for the electronic foot pedal. C) i500B – Connect
the steam gun the same way using the quick disconnect for the steam hose.
3. Insert the two-piece wand (2) into the flange on top of the boiler, tighten with the
side screw and attach the spring on the iron hose to the coil end of the wand (i500,
i500B models only).
4. Unscrew the safety cap (1). Fill the boiler with a maximum of 8.45 cups (2 litres)
of water for the i500 series. Use the funnel supplied, making sure you do not overfill
the tank (you can also use the water stick to determine the water level in the
steam tank).
5. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet; switch on the boiler (4) and steam button
(3). When the two button lights come on, the steam device and boiler are working.
6. For the i500 iron system, turn the iron plate’s temperature regulating knob (6) to
the position “cotton °°°” (indicated on the iron knob).
7. Wait 10 minutes for the boiler to reach maximum pressure. Once it reaches 50 psi,
the unit is now ready to operate. NOTE: The red light on the boiler switch (4) will turn
on and off during use, indicating that the heating element is activated or not.
8. 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.
9. The steam station is ready for use.
10. Push the steam button or the foot pedal for steam.
11. This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5). During operation,
if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water
to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.
a) Turn off the boiler switch (4).
b) Press the steam iron button or foot pedal to ensure there is no more steam
in the boiler.
c) Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with warm water.
d) Replace the cap, tighten and wait for it to build up pressure again.
e) NOTE: Failure to shut off the boiler when the warning light is on may result in
damaging the heating element, which will void the warranty.
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.
