BEFORE FIRST TIME USE
1   Before using your iron for the first time, please remove all the packaging material.
2   When you turn on the iron for the first time it might emit an odor for the first ten 

minutes. This is because the materials used in making the iron are heating up. The 

odor is safe and should not re-occur after the initial heating.

USING YOUR IRON
3   Fill water carefully into the water tank without going over “Max” line.  Make sure the 

water inlet cover is closed to avoid spilling.

4   Plug in the iron into any 120V AC  

polarized electrical outlet.

5   Set the desired fabric/temperature  

by pressing the Electronic  

Temperature Control. 

6   The temperature indicator light on  

the LED Display Panel will flash when  

the iron is heating up. The green light  

will stop flashing and stay on when the iron  

reaches the preset temperature.

7   Turn the variable steam control to select high or low steam setting. Select “0” on the 

steam control for dry ironing. You can now start ironing.

8   Use the steam burst/X-tended steam burst button to remove stubborn wrinkles. Turn 

the button counter-clockwise to the burst of steam position (for quick bursts of steam); 

or turn the button clockwise to the X-tended steam burst position (for prolonged bursts 

of steam). Press the button in the steam burst position once or several times if in 

the X-tended steam burst position to prime the pump. Allow an interval of 3 seconds 

between each burst. Overuse of the steam burst may cause water spitting or weak 

steam performance.

9   The steam burst feature also works in the vertical position. This is especially useful to 

remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, delicate garments and other fabrics. Hold the 

iron in the upright position several inches away from the article. 

10   Use the atomizer spray to moisten the fabric to tackle tough wrinkles, if necessary.

ANTI-DRIP FEATURE
11   The anti-drip feature is built in to this iron. It prevents water spitting when the 

temperature is too low.

12   Steam cannot be produced if the soleplate is not hot enough. It may result in water 

spitting or leaking from the soleplate. The anti-drip feature reduces water dripping and 

leaking when ironing at low temperatures.

ELECTRONIC MULTI POSITION AUTO-OFF
13   This iron is equipped with an electronic auto-off feature that switches the iron off if it 

has been idle in the sideways, flat or upright positions for 7-9 minutes.

14   The auto-off light will flash in red on the LED display when the iron is in auto-off mode. 

To turn the iron back on, just gently rock the iron back and forth several times until the 

“Power ON” green light is re-illuminated. Reset the temperature to the desired setting; 

wait for the green light to stop flashing. The iron might have to warm up for a minute if 

the auto-off feature was activated for an extended time.

SELF-CLEANING
15  Fill the water tank to the “MAX” level.  Do not overfill.
16   Stand the iron on its heel, standing up on a protected surface and plug into the 

electrical outlet

17   Set the Electronic Temperature Controls to “•••” setting. Wait until the green light 

stops flashing.  The iron is now on the preset temperature.

18   Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. Turn and hold the steam control all the way to 

the right to the SELF CLEAN position.

19   Move the iron back and forth. Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the 

holes in the soleplate. Use caution when doing this as the water and the steam are hot 

enough to cause burns.

20  Continue step 19 until the impurities and scale are washed away.
21   Empty any excess water from the tank. Don’t touch the hot surfaces, water or steam 

because injury may occur.

22  Turn the steam control to “0”.
23  Place the iron in upright position and let it cool down.

USEFUL TIPS
24   Read all garment care labels before you start ironing. You can also test the 

temperature of the iron on a hem or an inside seam. 

25   Iron similar fabrics together and in sequence of synthetic fibers acrylic, nylon, silk/

wool, polyester, and cotton/linen. This will reduce the need to adjust the temperature 

frequently.

IRONING GUIDE

FEATURES

STORAGE AND CARE
26   Always turn the variable steam control  to “0” after you have emptied the  water tank.
27  Allow the iron to cool down before putting it away.
28   Place the iron in the upright position during heating up, cooling down and storage.
29  Avoid any sharp material contacting the soleplate.
30   Every two weeks, clean the exterior of  the iron with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
31   If you use spray starch, wipe the soleplate occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to 

prevent deposit build-up.

32   If the iron hasn’t been used in a few weeks, hold the iron horizontally and allow 

steaming for 2 minutes before ironing.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
33  Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before pouring water into the iron.
34  Always empty the water in the iron after each use.
35  Never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.

36   Be very careful when filling the iron  with water. Injuries may occur if the  hot metal 

parts, hot water or steam are contacted. 

TROUBLE SHOOTING

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 ful y into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it stil  

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this 

safety feature.

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 can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Use care to 

arrange the extension cord so it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR IRON

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including 

the following:
1.
  Use iron only for its intended use.
2.   To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other 

liquids.

3.   DO  NOT yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4.   DO  NOT allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.  

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

5.   Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying,  

or when not in use.

6.   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 to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination, repair or adjustment. Incorrect
