IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your Steam Generator Iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
Read carefully the following instructions as they provide important information concerning how to
install, use and care for this appliance.
1. Use steam generator iron only for its intended use.
2. Use ironing system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or any part of the ironing
system in water or any other liquids.
4. The ironing system (iron and steam generator) should always be turned OFF before plugging
into or unplugging from wall outlet. Never pull power cord to disconnect from outlet; instead,
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the ironing system cool completely before putting
away or opening water tank (removing safety cap). Wrap cord loosely around the ironing
system when storing.
6. Always disconnect ironing system from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use. Always turn the safety cap slowly when opening the water tank.
7. Always make sure that there is no steam in the steam generator (water tank) before
opening the safety cap. Follow instructions to release all remaining steam though the iron
by pressing the steam release button. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before starting to
open safety cap. Always turn the cap slowly when opening the water tank to allow any
remaining steam to escape gradually.
8. Do not operate the ironing system with a damaged cord, plug or if the iron or any other part of
the system has been dropped or damaged. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble or attempt to repair the ironing system. Return the unit to EURO-PRO Operating
LLC (see warranty) for examination, repair or replacement. Incorrect reassembly or repair
can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury to persons when the ironing system is used.
9. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not
leave ironing system unattended while connected or while on an ironing board. Always
position the iron flat on the silicone rubber posts.
10. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when turning
the system upside down, as there may be hot water in the unit. Never direct steam at any
person, especially when using the iron in the vertical position. The steam is very hot and can
cause burns.
11. The hot iron base (soleplate) must always rest on the non combustible silicone rubber posts
on top of the steam generator.
12. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
13. This appliance is intended only for household use. Follow all user instructions in this manual.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit
simultaneously with the steam generator iron.
2. If an extension is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange so that it
cannot be pulled on or tripped over.
3. Do not leave iron unattended when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical 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 no attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
