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 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. Loop cord
loosely around iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water or emptying and when not in use.
7. 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.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended
while connected or on an ironing board.
9. 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.
10. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by EURO-PRO Operating LLC may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.
11. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
12. Check if the voltage on the type plate (under the water tank) corresponds to the main voltage in your home.
13. Take care that children cannot touch the iron when hot and that they cannot pull the main cord or the
supply hose.
14. The ejected steam is hot and therefore hazardous. Never direct the steam towards people.
15. Never immerse the iron or the water tank in water.
16. When you have finished ironing, and also when leaving the iron even for a short while:
- Set the steam control to •••
- Put the iron on the rubber mat;
- remove the main plug from the wall socket.
17. To take optimum care of your iron, always store it on the rubber mat on the stand. Never place the hot iron
on the plastic stand top (without the rubber mat), on the supply hose or the main cord.
18. Make sure that the cord set never touches the soleplate when hot.
19. Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased. As a result the iron may slightly smoke hen switched on
for the first time. After a short while, however, this will cease.
20. Before using the iron for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate. Clean the
soleplate with a soft cloth.
21. Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
22. Do not use chemically descaled water.
23. Do not place the rubber mat (10) on a table or any other surface which may be damaged by heat.
24. This product is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
25. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
26. Do not use iron outdoors.
27. 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 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.
Warning
Water must first be pumped (look for pump light (15) to be
illuminated) from the water tank (8A) to the iron (14) before
steam will exit: water requires approximately 2 minutes to pass
through the hose (12) and reach the iron (14). Once this is
done, you will not have to wait again - you will have continuous
steam (if you keep pump on). Please note though that you
must also adjust variable steam to desired output level or
steam will not exit the iron.

Ironing Temperature
Always check first to see whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed. (See table above.)
Follow these ironing instructions in all cases. If ironing instructions are missing, but you do know the kind of fabric, then
see the table. The table is valid for the materials only and is not applicable to any applied finish, gloss, etc… Fabric to
which some kind of finish has been applied (gloss, wrinkles, relief, etc.) can be ironed at the lowest temperature such as
those made of synthetic fibers. Sort the laundry out according to ironing temperature first: wool with wool, cotton with
cotton, etc…
The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as
those made of synthetic fibers. If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, you must always select the lowest ironing
temperature of the composition of those fibers. (For example: an article consisting of “60% polyester and 40% cotton”
should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (•) and without steam.)
If you do not know what kind(s) of fabric(s) the article has been made of, find a spot which will be invisible when wearing
or using the article. Try out the ironing temperature which is most suitable there. (Start at a relatively low temperature.)
Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam position. Preferable set the steam control
to maximum position and use a dry pressing cloth. When steam-ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur.
This can be prevented by turning the article inside out and ironing the reverse side.
Velvet and other textures which rapidly acquire shiny spots should be ironed in one direction only (with the nap) applying
light pressure. Always keep the iron moving.
Iron the reverse side of synthetic materials and silk to prevent shining spots. Do not use the spray button to prevent
stains.

Before First Use
Remove any labels, stickers or tags which may be attached to the body or the
soleplate of the iron before using the iron.
Read all instructions 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 manual and do the following in order
to eliminate any odor and small white residue particles and to ensure optimum steam
performance.
How the Water is Pumped to the Iron
1. The water is pumped from the water tank (8A) to the iron (14) through the supply hose (12)
by a built-in water pump.
2. This water pump is activated by pulling on the trigger (3). The water pump pilot light (15)
will go on.
3. The water pump will stay activated as long as your finger pulls the trigger (3) or the trigger
will stay pulled in permanently if the trigger lock (3A) is pushed backwards.
But you will only get steam if the variable steam Control (2) is above Minimum. i.e.
between “Min” and “Max” levels. Please note that you can also achieve continuous
steam in the vertical position.
• Fill the water tank (8A) according to instructions on filling (see page 5).
• Set the temperature control (1) to its highest level.
• Set the steam control (2) to “0”.
• When the “Temperature Pilot Light” (7) goes off, indicating that the iron has reached its
selected temperature,
Then
• Set the variable steam control (2) to MAXIMUM.
• Pull the steam trigger (3) (located below the handle) to activate the internal water pump.
• Push the trigger lock (3A) backwards, so that the steam trigger (3) will stay pulled.
• Steam will come out after about 2 minutes. Please be patient for the first usage after which
there will be no further waiting.
• Iron on a piece of cloth / towel for 2 minutes.
• Place the iron on the rubber mat (10) and allow it to steam for 5 minutes.
• Press the “burst of steam” knob (6) to eliminate white residue particles.
