Thank you for purchasing the ecosteam™TSeries All-Steam Iron. The
All-Steam Iron uses a steam supply connected to a boiler. Please read this
instruction manual carefully before using the iron to ensure its longest
possible life.

WARNING
Be sure to turn off the steam supply source of the iron and wait for
the iron to cool down before attempting to troubleshoot the iron.
A. INSTALLATION & CONNECTING
1. Connect one hose to the steam supply line from the boiler and the other
end of the hose to the Hose Fitting (Part# THNC) of the iron where the
“Steam-In” label is. (Fig.1)

2. Connect one end of the other hose to the returning line of the boiler and
the other end to the Hose Fitting (Part# TEVC) of the iron. (Fig.2)
3. Fasten the cap nut of the hose while holding the hex-part of the Hose
Fitting on the iron firmly with another wrench. (Fig.3)
IMPORTANT
After connecting the hoses, inspect each hose connection. (If you see water
leaking out from the bottom of the iron, the hoses are reversed.)

OPERATING MANUAL

IMPORTANT
➢Before you start ironing, turn the Black Knob on the Exhaust Valve
counterclockwise so that any possible condensation formed by
installation is released back through the return line into the boiler.
➢Make sure that the iron is facing away from the press and any clothes,
and press on the Push Lever a few times.
➢If the boiler is not hot enough, you may see water leaking out of the iron.
This is not an iron malfunction. Do not start pressing clothes until the
boiler has heated thoroughly. Be sure to place the iron on the iron rest
when not in use. Failing to do so may damage clothing, equipment,
and/or the iron.
➢If you see water leaking out from the bottom of the steam iron, please
refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual
B. OPTIMIZATION & ENERGY SAVING
➢When operating the All-Steam Iron, open the Black Knob on the Exhaust
Valve (Part# TEVC) counterclockwise about a ¼ turn so that any possible
condensation is released through the Exhaust Valve.
➢The most efficient way to save steam is by installing a reliable Steam
Trap. As long as your Steam Traps are in good condition, no steam will
be wasted.
C. ADJUSTING THE STEAM VOLUME
➢When you need to adjust the steam volume, unfasten the Black Cap Nut
(Part # T8600-1) counterclockwise to release the Adjusting Screw and
turn the Adjusting Screw with a screwdriver.
➢Turn the Adjusting Screw counterclockwise to increase the steam
volume.
➢Turn the Adjusting Screw clockwise to decrease the steam volume.
➢Once you have reached the desired steam volume, fasten the Black Cap
Nut clockwise over the Adjusting Screw (Fig.4) to lock it in place.

IMPORTANT
➢Once finished with operating the iron, close the steam valve of the boiler,
and press down on the PushLeverof the iron until all the remaining steam
inside the iron has been released.
➢Prior to your next operation, repeat the above-mentioned procedures. In
the event that you encounter technical difficulties with the iron, please
contact your local Authorized Dealer from whom the ecosteam™ iron
was purchased. Only skilled mechanics should attempt any repairs on
an iron.
D. MAINTENANCE
➢Be sure to clean the base of the iron regularly. Keep the base clean of
dust and adhered starch-residues.
➢Empty the iron and hoses of steam and condensation at the end of
each operation.
➢Check the iron periodically to make sure there are no steam leaks.
➢If you need to replace parts on the iron, please contact your local
Authorized Dealer from whom the ecosteam™ iron was purchased.
➢Use genuine ecosteam™ parts for optimum results.
E. TROUBLESHOOTING
(Problem) The iron is not releasing any steam or the iron is not
heating up.
(Solution 1) Make sure the boiler is turned on.
(Solution 2) Make sure the Ball Valves of the steam supply line are open.
(Solution 3) Make sure the steam supply hose is not clogged.
Check the steam supply Hose Fitting (Part# THNC)on the
iron and make sure it is free of any debris, dirt, or scale build-
up. If the Hose Fitting is clogged it will not allow steam to
flow through the iron.
(Solution 4) Make sure the hoses are in good working order.
Replace if crimped or bent. Make sure there is no debris in
them by taking them off the iron and blowing air through
them.
(Solution 5) Make sure the Steam Traps are not clogged.
Tap on the Steam Trap to dislodge any dirt or debris that may
cause the Steam Trap to stay shut.

(Problem) The steam flow is not sufficient
(Solution ) Refer to the “Adjusting the Steam Volume” section of this manual.
After the steam flow is adjusted, fasten the Black Cap Nut over the
Adjusting Screw to lock it in place. Make sure that 80-psi is flowing into
the iron.
(Problem) The iron leaks water from the base of the iron when the
Push Lever is pressed after installation
(Solution 1) Make sure that the steam supply and the steam return hoses have
not been reversed. (This is the most common cause of initial water
leaks).
(Solution 2) Turn the Black Knob on the Exhaust Valve (Part# TEVC)
counterclockwise to release any condensation.
(Solution 3) If you still see water leaking out, check the Steam Trap. A
malfunctioning/defective Steam Trap causes leakage problems. Tap
on the Steam Trap to dislodge any dirt or debris that may cause the
Steam Trap to stay shut.
(Solution 4) Make sure the return line is working properly.
❖The following procedure can help determine where the problem lies.
With the steam supply source turned on, keep the steam supply hose connected,
but disconnect the steam return hose. Let the return hose fall into a pail to collect
any water. Press down on the Push Lever.
a) If the iron is gives off a dry steam, then the problem lies in the
return line.
➢There may be a Steam Trap problem or a Check Valve problem.
➢Make sure that these 2 items closest to the iron are not clogged with debris.
Is a Thermodynamic Trap being used? The Thermodynamic Trap allows
condensation and steam to continually flow. A good Thermodynamic Trap
virtually eliminates any water problems. These traps, however, should be used
with a strainer as they have a tendency to clog.
b) If the iron isn’t giving off any steam or water is leaking out of the
iron, the problem lies in the supply side of the iron or in the iron
itself.
➢Check the steam supply Hose Fitting (Part# THNC) on the iron for dirt. If the
Hose Fitting is clogged, steam cannot flow through. The Hose Fitting must be
cleaned.

➢Check to make sure the hoses are in good working order. Replace if crimped or
bent. Make sure there is no debris in them by taking them off the iron and
blowing air through them.
➢Make sure that the Exhaust Valve (Part# TEVC) is open and allowing all water
to flow back through the return line into the boiler.
➢Make sure there is no water flowing through the steam supply line. This line
should only have steam flowing through it. If there is any water in the line, it will
leak through the bottom of the iron.
(Problem) The iron is leaking steam from the base of the iron or Push Lever
(Solution 1) There may be debris or dirt lodged in the Steam Valve.
(Solution 2) The part may need to be cleaned or replaced.
(Solution 3) There may be a bad Gasket in the Steam Valve area.
(Solution 4) Replace the Steam Valve Assembly (Part# TSVC).
(Problem) The steam is leaking out from the Exhaust Valve
(Solution 1) The Teflon® Packing inside the Exhaust Valve is set in an optimized
location before leaving the factory. The Teflon® Packing wears
down and gets loose after a certain period of normal use.
(Solution 2) If the steam is leaking out from the Exhaust Valve, adjust the
Exhaust Valve Nut clockwise with a wrench to reinforce the Teflon®
Packing until the leakage stops (Don’t over tighten or it will reduce
the life of the Teflon® Packing).
(Solution 3) After adjusting the Exhaust Valve Nut if you still see steam leaking
out, the part will need to be replaced (Part# TEVC). (Fig.5)
