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 should always be turned “OFF” before plugging or unplugging 

from electrical outlet.

5. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to 

disconnect.

6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.  Let iron cool completely before 

storing.

7. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

8.   Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water or 

emptying and when not in use.

9. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped 

or damaged.

10. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron. Return 

appliance to 

EURO-PRO Operating LLC

for examination, repair or 

adjustment. 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. 

13. Never direct steam at any person, especially when using the iron in a 

vertical position.  The steam is very hot and can cause burns.

14. Do not use iron outdoors.

15. 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 10-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.
