OPERATING MANUAL
ecosteam™T Series -Model No. T2, T3, T4 & T6
(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.
