IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the iron.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse iron or stand in water or other liquids.
4. The iron thermostat should always be turned to its lowest position before plugging or unplugging from
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
6. Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents into the water reservoir.
7. Do not use chemically descaled water.
8. The cordset should not be allowed to touch the soleplate when it is hot.
9. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water or emptying and when not in use.
10. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the
risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Send it to an authorized EURO-PRO Operating LLC service
center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when iron is used.
11. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave iron
unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
12. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a
steam iron upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir.
Never direct steam at any person, especially when using the iron in a vertical position. The steam is
very hot and can cause burns.
13. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by EURO-PRO Operating LLC may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.
14. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
15. Do not use iron outdoors.
16. This product is for household use only.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it
cannot be pulled on or tripped over.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do no attempt to defeat this safety feature.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any labels, stickers or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron before using the iron.
Read all instructions for use carefully. Always follow the Important Safeguards.
IMPORTANT
The first time an iron is used, some odor and small white particles may come out of the steam vents.
This is perfectly normal and will cease to occur after the iron has been in use for a short while.
Before you start using your iron, follow the instructions in the manual and do the following in
order to eliminate any odor and small white residue particles and to ensure optimum steam
performance.
Fill the iron with regular tap water.
Set the temperature control dial at its highest and steam control at ‘0’.
When the thermostat light goes off to indicate that the iron has reached the selected temperature,
set the steam control at MAX.
Keep the iron in a horizontal position and allow it to steam until the water runs out.
Press the steam burst button to eliminate white residue particles.
Repeat this procedure through 2 or 3 fillings of water.
