IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully.

2. Use iron only for its intended use.

3. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.

4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let iron cool completely before putting
away.

6. Always disconnect iron from electrical
outlet when filling with water, emptying,
or when not in use.

7. Do not operate iron with a damaged
cord, or after the iron has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the iron. Return the iron to EURO-PRO
Operating LLC for examination and
repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause
the risk of electric shock when the iron is
used.

8. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being 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; there may be hot water in the
reservoir.

10. Never use or rest iron on an unstable
surface.

11. While the iron is hot, never set iron on an
unprotected surface - even if it is on its
heel rest.

12. CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR OTHER INJURY, before
filling the iron with water, make sure
that the plug is removed from the
outlet.

13. WARNING: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other solution, as these will damage
the steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.

14. CAUTION! TO AVOID FIRE, never

leave iron unattended while it is
plugged in.

15. CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC

SHOCK, never use the iron in a
location where it can fall or be pulled
into water or another liquid. If the
iron falls into water or other liquid,
unplug it immediately. DO NOT reach
into the water or liquid.

16. WARNING: Never use scouring pads,

abrasive or chemical cleaners, or
solvents to clean the exterior or
soleplate of your iron. Doing so will
scratch and/or damage the surface.

17. CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron at face,

towards yourself, or anyone else
while using or adjusting steam.
Burns or serious injury may occur.

18. Always store your iron standing upright,
not on the soleplate. If stored face
down, even the smallest amount of
moisture will cause the soleplate to
corrode and stain.

19. This appliance is for household use

only.

WARNING: The power cord on this

product contains lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after

handling.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not
operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, use a 15-ampere cord. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat.
Use care to arrange the cord so that it
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
