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.

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 not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

For Household Use Only

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 any 

other liquid. If the iron falls into 

water or any other liquid, unplug it 

immediately. DO NOT reach into 

the water or liquid to remove it.

16

. WARNING: Never use scouring 

pads, abrasive or chemical 

cleansers 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. Always hold the plug when rewinding 

the power cord.  

Do not

allow plug to 

whip when rewinding.

20.

This appliance 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 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.
