Temperature Settings for Ironing

The EURO-PROX Model EP965 is a versatile 1500-watt appliance designed for both steam cleaning and steam ironing, operating at 110V / 60Hz. This dual-function system is engineered to provide efficient and effective cleaning and garment care for household use.

Function Description:

As a steam cleaner, the EP965 utilizes high-temperature steam to clean various surfaces without the need for harsh chemicals. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including wood, vinyl, marble, and tile floors, carpets, walls, ceilings, windows, glass surfaces, mirrors, enameled or stainless steel surfaces, and even garden furniture and plants. The steam emulsifies dirt and grease, making it easy to wipe away. It can also be used for specific tasks like stripping wax, removing soap scum, and cleaning nicotine and tar stains. The system includes a flexible steam hose and various attachments to facilitate cleaning in different areas and on different materials.

When converted to a steam iron, the EP965 provides a high-quality ironing system. It offers both steam and dry ironing capabilities, with a temperature regulator to select appropriate heat settings for different fabrics like wool, linen, cotton, and synthetics. The iron features a steam button for on-demand steam and a continuous steam lock button for extended steaming. This allows for efficient wrinkle removal and garment care.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes several maintenance and safety guidelines:

Water Usage: Tap water is generally suitable, but demineralized/distilled water is recommended for hard water areas or when cleaning light-colored fabrics to prevent stains.
Refilling: Instructions are provided for safely refilling the steam generator, especially when the "Add Water" light indicates a low water level. It's crucial to turn off and unplug the unit, release any remaining steam, and allow it to cool before opening the safety cap.
Towel Use: For steam cleaning, 100% cotton white terry cloth towels are recommended to absorb moisture and dirt. The manual advises using two towels if they are thin to prevent bristles from breaking through.
Cleaning Accessories: Brushes can be cleaned using the steam cleaner itself, either by blowing off dirt with the detail attachment or by placing smaller brushes in a dishwasher basket.
Storage: The system should be stored indoors in a cool, dry area, with the cord loosely wrapped around the unit.
