TECHNICAL DATA

Full aluminium-plated heating element at 800W –120V
Boiler power 5000IS: 1000W
Working pressure 5000IS: 3,5 bar
Tank nominal capacity of model 5000IS: 2,5 Litres

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) 5000IS – It is recommended to put the iron on the iron pad, (supplied) as the pad will withstand the temperature of the iron. B) 5000CJ – Screw the nozzle into the steam fitting and plug in the 4-pin receptacle for the electronic foot pedal. C) 5000CD
   – 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 (5000IS, 5000CD models only).
4. Unscrew the safety cap (1). Fill the boiler with a maximum of 8.45 cups (2 litres) of water for the 5000IS 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 5000IS 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) and the thermostat reset button (9 or 10). During operation, if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.

• Press the steam iron button or foot pedal to ensure there is no more steam
  in the boiler.
• Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with warm water.
• Replace the cap, tighten and press the thermostat reset button (9 or 10), wait for it to build up pressure again.

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 as well as the safety cap.

The boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup removed from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period between cleanings depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness of the water used. If the unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we recommend a cleaning every two weeks to a month.

TO CLEAN THE BOILER UNIT

1. Unplug the unit from the wall.
2. Disconnect the iron (5000IS), the steam gun (5000CD) or the steam nozzle (5000CJ) from the boiler unit. (The steam nozzle on the 5000CJ may be left on the unit if desired. It does not affect the cleaning instructions.)
3. Add a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water and pour inside the boiler tank to capacity. Let the vinegar solution sit overnight.
4. Pick up the boiler unit and pour approximately half of the solution out of the boiler tank. Vigorously shake/swirl the remaining solution around the tank to loosen and pick up any softened sediment that may have accumulated inside. Pour the remaining solution out of the tank. You may see bits of sediment and mineral come out at this point.
5. Rinse the tank with clean water until there is no smell of vinegar or any sediment bits coming from inside the tank. NOTE: Sediment/mineral pieces can be blown into the solenoid valve or the steam nozzle during operation so it is important that they are not left in the tank after cleaning.
6. The unit is now ready for use.
