IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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. Always turn
the iron to "OFF" before plugging in
or unplugging from outlet.
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 the 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. 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.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
2
1. Do not rest iron on soleplate.
2. Never use or rest iron on an
unstable surface.
3. While the iron is hot, never set iron
on an unprotected surface - even if it
is on its heel rest.
4. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER
INJURY, before filling the iron
with water, make sure that the
plug is removed from the outlet.
5. CAUTION: Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other solution, as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do
not use contaminated water.
6. WARNING! TO AVOID FIRE, never
leave iron unattended while it is
plugged in.
7. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never
immerse the iron in water or other
liquid.
8. WARNING! 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 retrieve it.
9. CAUTION: 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.
10. WARNING! DO NOT aim iron at
face, towards yourself, or anyone
else while using or adjusting
steam. Burns or serious injury
may occur.
11. Always store your iron on the iron
in the upright position, not on the
soleplate. If stored face down, even
the smallest amount of moisture will
cause the soleplate to corrode and
stain.
12. DANGER! Never use the iron if it
is damaged or dropped. Using
the iron when it is damaged
could create the risks of fire,
electric shock, injury or death.
