Euro-Pro STEAM GENERATOR IRON EP8001 - Manual (Page 8)

C. WHEN TO REFILL THE WATER TANK/STEAM GENERATOR (5):
For best results, refill water tank/steam generator (5) to maximum before every usage and
when steam power is recognized lower while in use. Turn Iron ON/OFF Rocker Switch (4) and
Steam ON/OFF Rocker Switch (3) to “OFF” position and release all steam from generator as
described on page 6 Section A.
D. TEMPERATURE SETTINGS:
• Always read garment labels and follow directions.
• For maximum efficiency, iron garments requiring the lowest temperature settings first as the
iron heats up faster than it cools.
• If there are no instructions included with the garment, we suggest that you follow the table
above as a guide (except when any fabric has an applied finish, gloss, etc. where lower
temperatures might be required).
• Always iron blends (fabrics made of two or more types of fibers) using the heat setting
appropriate for the fabric requiring the lowest temperature setting.
6. IMPORTANT PRESSING TIPS:
A. USE STEAM INTERMITTENTLY:
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 steam as required, but not continuously.
B. PRESSING DIFFICULT NATURAL FIBERS (I.E. 100% COTTON DRESS SHIRTS, ETC.):
While your Steam Generator offers high quality professional type steam, some fabrics may
require additional moisture for best results. You may want to press cotton shirts while still
damp or spray with demineralized/distilled water, prior to ironing.
