OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RETRACTABLE CORD IRON
Before using your EURO-PRO Select
Retractable Cord Iron, remove any
labels, stickers or tags that may be
attached to the body or soleplate of the
iron.
When turned on for the first time, your
new iron may emit an odor for up to 10
minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used in making
the iron. The odor is safe and should not reoccur
after initial heating.
Also, before ironing with steam for the
first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a
horizontal position and hit the burst of
steam button several times. The iron
may emit some small particles from the
steam holes. This is normal and will
clear after pressing the burst of steam
button several times.
SELF CLEANING STORAGE
It is important to “Self Clean” the iron at
least every two weeks to remove scale,
calcium, etc. The harder the water, the
more often the iron should be self
cleaned.
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “No steam position” after
you have emptied the water tank.
2. Stand the iron in the vertical
position to cool down before storing.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
1. Set the variable steam control to
position “No steam position”.
2. Fill the water tank up to the “MAX”
level.
3. Stand the iron in the vertical position.
Plug the iron into the electrical outlet
and wait until the iron heats up and
thermostat light goes off and then
comes on again.
4. Hold the iron horizontally over the
sink and slide the variable
steam control lever to the “Self
Clean” zone. “ “
See Figure 6.
6. Boiling water and steam will now be
ejected from the holes in the
soleplate. The impurities and scale
are washed away with it.
See Figure 7.
7. Move the iron back and forth as this
happens.
8. Slide the variable steam control lever
to the “No steam position” position
after one minute or when the water
tank is empty.
9. Place the iron back in the vertical
position to cool down before storing.

NOTE: The anti drip function reduces
water dripping and water stains. It does
not prevent water dripping and water
stains if you press the steam burst
button too often or if the temperature is
too low. The amount of water droplets
will eventually decrease after the iron is
used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of steaming and
ironing.
