The steam generator "Ecovapor" is a machine of high advanced technology with
many advantages, unique in its kind. It is manufactured according to International
and European safety standards by a company with experience ,since 1969, in this
sector. Congratulations for your choice!
Operation through main switch.
Built-in electric water pump, amplified against pressure, with thermal protection.
Electrical circuit consisted by silicon wires.
Ground wire to all electrical parts.
Blocking system on the water outlet valve for more safety against any burning.
The machine is ready to work. Just place it to the requested position and connect it to
the power.
The good operation of the machine is depended on the feedwater formation.
Feedwater requirements:
Hardness
less than 100mg/las CaCO or less than 6 German degrees
PH
7-8
CO
No free CO allowed.
TDS
less than 200mg/l.
Fe
None
Suspended solids
Water should be clear and free from suspended solids,
colloids, alcal, ect.
For the electrical connection and everything about the power supply, follow carefully
the instructions of the wiring diagram (enclosed).Pay attention to the WARNING
symbols, attached to the machine.Connect the machine to the power supply through
the plug No 25 . If power supply is 230Volt/1phase, the connection must be done ,in a
3-poles socket plug (1 phase, 1 neutral, 1 ground). The power must be insured by a 2-
poles (25 Amber) fuse.
CAUTION!The manufacturer denies any liability for any injury or accident that might
be caused due to faulty power networks or due to faulty connections made by
unskilled persons.

*Attention !
-Any thermal intervention or welding to the boiler No 1, without being advised by
the manufacturer, is strictly forbidden.
(In that case, the manufacturer does not have any responsibility).
- Any modification to the technical specifications of the machine(electrical or
mechani- cal) is strictly forbidden to the third persons.
(In that case the manufacturer does not have any responsibility).
Fill the feedwater tank of 25lt(No 01) with clear water, using preferably soft water
(up to 8 dh hardness).Turn on the main switch(No 02).Press the button No 03 .The
water pump starts to feed water into the boiler and the lamp No 04 is on. The steam
lamp No 05 will be lighted after a while.During operation the boiler refills
automatically.
Within a few seconds the boiler starts heating the water in order to supply steam in
about 15-20 min. The manometer(No 06) should reach 3,5 bars. The machine is ready
to work.Press the irons button(s)(No 07 ), only one button if the requested produced
steam is for 1 steam iron, or both buttons if the requested produced steam is for 2
steam irons.(That depends on whether you have Ecovapor for steam supply for one
or two irons). Adjust the temperature of the iron using the thermostat knob,
according to the fabric requirements. Adjust the steam quantity by the adjustor knob
(No 08 ) ac- cording to the fabric requirements. You can start ironing!
Operating instructions

CAUTION !
The first time you press the iron's microswitch to flow steam you may have a steam
liquidation,due to the cold condition of the iron's steam hose.So please press 2-3
times the microswitch away from the working surface until only clean dry steam
flows out.
Before you start working, make sure that the water feeding vessel of the machine,
is filled.
In case the pump runs unusually noisily for quite long period of time, the
feedwater tank may be empty or the filling hose may be clogged.
Switch off the iron buttons No 07.
Turn off the main switch No 02
Turn on slowly the outlet valve No 09 to remove the water deposited in the boiler.
WARNING ! To avoid any burning accident ,follow carefully the instructions below:
Fill the condensate vessel C(sketched below) by water,at a level of 5 cm.approxima-
tely. Screw tightly cap D.Unlock safety blocker A.Turn on slowly the outlet valve B to
remove any water condensates from the boiler. After finishing, turn off outlet valve B
and lock again safety blocker A.
C
Remove a small quantity of water (0,5lit.approx.) of the boiler, by turning on slowly
the outlet valve No 09.The pump is activated automatically in order to feed the boiler
by the lost quantity of water. When the pump stops, turn off outlet valve No 09.Wait
for a few minutes .When the manometer No 06 reaches 3,5 bars, the machine is ready
to work.This procedure must be periodically repeated.
After you finishing working
Test the good operation of the machine

7
Keep the machine as clean as possible.
Clean the inside of the machine by compressed air ,at least 2 times per year.
(Depen- ds on the quality of the water).
Periodically clean the electrode No 16 from deposited salts ,and pay attention on
its replacement. (See the correct position on the enclosed wiring diagram).
Periodically check if the links of the water and steam pipes have leaks.
When the heating element No 23 has to be replaced, take the chance to clean the
salts of the inside of the steam boiler No 22 , by a pointed instrument.
When you keep the machine out of operation for a long period of time, leave the
steam boiler Nr 22 filled with water to avoid boiler’s inside oxidation .
The pump does not run:
- Check the responding fuse for pump on the electronic PC board typ.ECO 903No33
- Check if the voltage of the power supplied to the pump No 21 is 230V.
- Check if the pump is stuck off due to salts –this usually happens when the pump is
out of work for a long period time - Shooting :Turn the Pivot of the pump by
putting a scre- wdriver through the hole at the back side of the machine which
leads to the pump.
- Check if the pump is clogged.
The water is not heated while the steam lamp lights on.
- Check the fuse(1Amber) which is used for the heating on the electronic circuit
card
- Check the relay which is used for the heating on the Electronic circuit card.
- Check the Pressure switch No 15 (symbol PS on the wiring diagram)
- Check the relay K1(symbol on the wiring diagram)
The steam iron is not heated while the iron lamp lights on:
- Check the fuse (25Amber) according to the wiring diagramm.
- Check the iron itself, the cabel, the thermostat etc.
If the iron is heated normally but it does not blow steam check the coil 12W/230V of
the solenoid steam valves No 38 (EV1, EV2 on the wiring diagram) as well as the
steam microswitch of the iron.
If the boiler is overfilled and the iron blows steam & water
- Check electrode E1 No16:clean or replace it.
- Check solenoid water valve No30: clean or replace it.
- Check if the water control system on the Electronic circuit card No32 is running
normally. If not, replace it.
If the pump is ordered to feed water in very short periods & steam draining is
appeared in the feed-water tank No 1, check the one way valve No29:Clean or
replace it , by paying attention on putting it back in the correct direction.

SAFETY VALVE
If it remains open –the manometer No 06 shows over 3,5bar.Check the pressure
switch pressure adjustment. Adjust it at max. 3,5bar. In case it continues
increasing,please replace the pressure switch No 15.
