STEAM GENERATOR
IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY USER INFORMATION
Read all instructions before using the Steam Generator Iron and follow all instructions and
safeguards carefully.
1. A WORD ON WATER
Check the water hardness in your home with the litmus paper. (Please note that you can only
use the litmus paper once.)
a) Immerse the litmus paper in a glass of water for one second.
b) Wait until the paper is dry and refer to the scale here below.
soft water
medium hard water
hard water
very hard water
Use tap water
Use demineralized/distilled water
For best results
EURO-PRO
recommends using 100% demineralized/distilled water.
DO NOT USE WATER PROCESSED THROUGH A HOME WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
OR BOTTLED MINERAL WATER.
If you choose to use regular tap water, make sure that the chloride (CL) level of your local water
supply does not exceed 8mg/liter. In many areas, the chloride level exceeds 8mg/liter. Use of
tap water with high chloride levels will adversely affect the life expectancy of your steam
generator. Tap water can be mixed with demineralized/distilled water to lower the chloride level.
For best results make sure to use the right proportions to bring the chloride level to 8mg/liter or
less.
2. FOR BEST RESULTS DO NOT LEAVE HOT IRON RESTING IDLE ON IRON REST (6)
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
The life-span of your EP8020 will be reduced if the iron is left idle at high temperatures for
extended periods. If iron is not in use, reduce its temperature to the lowest temperature setting
on the Temperature Control Knob (c).
3. WARRANTED FOR REGULAR HOUSEHOLD USE
While the EP8020 is a professional type ironing system, it is intended for and warranted only
for normal household use. Iron and/or steam generator should not be used for more than 15
hours per week in approximately 3 hour intervals.
