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.

IMPORTANT: 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 no attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
