Priming the Boiler
When using your Eurosteam® Iron for the first time, you will need to prime the boiler. Priming the boiler ensures that your Eurosteam® Iron boiler is heating the water and pressurizing the steam for optimal performance. There are two methods which can be used to prime the boiler. Please choose the method that works best for you.
Method 1
Fill the measuing cup, slightly below the fill line, with tap water. Do not use distilled water as this may cause damage to your boiler.
Remove boiler screw cap and place beside the iron.
Insert funnel into the opening and place filler cup contents into the boiler.
Place the screw cap back into the boiler and tighten. Finger tight only. (Do not tighten too much as this may cause damage with the o'ring on the screw cap)
Plug your iron into a power surge protected cord and then plug your surge protected cord into an electrical outlet
Turn on the power switch
