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 15-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.  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As  
POLARIZED PLUG  
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.

BEFORE FIRST USE  
Remove any labels, stickers or tags which may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron before using the iron.  
Read all instructions for use carefully. Always follow the Important Safeguards.  
IMPORTANT  
The first time an iron is used, some odor and small white particles may come out of the steam vents.  
This is perfectly normal and will cease to occur after the iron has been in use for a short while.  
Before you start using your iron, follow the instructions in the manual and do the following in  
order to eliminate any odor and small white residue particles and to ensure optimum steam  
performance.  
Fill the iron with regular tap water.  
Set the temperature control dial at its highest and steam control at ‘0’.  
When the thermostat light goes off to indicate that the iron has reached the selected temperature,  
set the steam control at MAX.  
Keep the iron in a horizontal position and allow it to steam until the water runs out.  
Press the steam burst button to eliminate white residue particles.  
Repeat this procedure through 2 or 3 fillings of water.

IRONING WITH STEAM  
• Make sure iron is unplugged from power source.  
• Set the variable steam control to ‘0’.  
• Fill the iron with water following the instructions for filling.  
• Plug the cord into a 120 Volt AC electrical outlet.  
• Set the temperature control dial within the steam area i.e. ‘•••’.  
• Make sure that the iron has reached the selected temperature with the variable steam control set at ‘0’.  
IMPORTANT: Do not open the steam control until the thermostat light goes off to indicate that the  
selected temperature within the steam range has been reached. If you move the  
variable steam control up from ‘0’ before the correct temperature is reached, the iron  
will drip water.  
• The variable steam control offers a few different settings:  
PLEASE NOTE: For maximum steam the temperature control dial  
should be set at ••• . The temperature control  
should be set at the beginning only for very  
delicate fabrics requiring very gentle steam (setting •).  
• Steam is produced as soon as the iron is held in a horizontal position.  
• Steam will stop coming out when the iron is put on its heel in a vertical position or by  
turning the steam control dial to ‘0’.

CORDLESS IRONING  
• Set the 3-position switch (13) to position 13B. (Fig. 8)  
• Take the iron without the power base (11) from the stand. (Fig. 9)  
• Always place the iron on the stand (12) when you interrupt ironing.  
• For optimal ironing performance, the iron should be replaced to the stand  
for heating up to the set temperature. As soon as the soleplate has  
regained the set temperature, the thermostat light (7) will go off.  
• When cordless steam ironing for a considerable amount of time, the  
soleplate might cool down more than required. For that reason, we advise  
you to always use the iron in the corded mode if you intend to steam iron  
for a considerable time.

Fig. 10  
IRONING WITH STEAM  
• As indicated on the temperature control dial (1) and the fabric table, steam  
ironing is only possible at the higher ironing temperature settings: •• for  
moderate or ••• for maximum steam.  
• With conventional steam irons, water may leak from the soleplate if too low a  
temperature has been selected. However, your new steam iron has an “Anti-  
Drip” feature which will automatically stop the iron from steaming at too low a  
temperature. When this happens, you will hear a “Click”. Set the temperature  
control dial (1) to the advised position. Steaming will restart when the  
appropriate temperature has been reached.  
Fig. 11  
• Ensure that there is enough water in the water reservoir.  
• Place the iron on its stand (12) and set the temperature control dial (1) to the  
required position within the “steam area” (•• for moderate or ••• for maximum  
steam). (Fig. 11)  
• After the thermostat light (7) has gone out and has come on again, you may  
start ironing.  
• Slide the variable steam control (2) to the required position. (Fig. 12)

TO EMPTY THE IRON  
• Always empty iron after each usage.  
• After using the iron, turn the variable steam control to ‘0’ and the temperature control dial to ‘minimum’.  
• Unplug the iron from the power source.  
• Set variable steam control to ‘MAX’.  
• Open the water inlet cover and turn the iron up-side down over the sink with the tip pointing downward and  
allow the water to flow from the opening.  
• Set variable steam control to ‘0’.  
• Allow iron to cool on the iron rest before storing.  
WARNING: Use caution when you turn the iron up-side down - there may be hot water in the  
reservoir. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.  
ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF  
Your EURO-PRO 2-in-1 Cordless/Corded Iron is equipped with an electronic auto shut-off. The electronic  
auto-off switches the iron off if it has been standing unmoved for approximately 8 minutes. A red light will  
flash when the iron switches itself off. To switch the iron back on again,shake the iron.  
CAUTION: Do not use the auto shut-off feature as a substitute for turning the iron off and  
unplugging the iron when not in use.  
Red light will flash  
when iron switches  
itself off

SELF-CLEANING  
It is important to apply “Self-Cleaning” at least every two weeks to remove scale, etc. The harder the water the more the  
iron should be self-cleaned.  
or  
In order to remove calcium and built-up particles, the self-cleaning system should be run at least once a month.  
Set the variable steam control (2) to position “0”.  
• Open the water filling inlet cover (6) and fill the water reservoir up to the Max indication.  
• Close the water filling inlet cover (6) and place the iron on its stand (12). Plug unit into wall outlet and wait until  
the iron heats up and the thermostat light (7) goes off and then comes on again.  
• Set the 3-position switch to the cordless position (13B) and remove the iron from the stand (12) with the power  
base (11).  
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink and slide the variable steam control button (2) to the “Self-Clean” zone.  
(Fig. 13)  
• Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the holes in the soleplate (9). The impurities and scale are  
washed away with it.  
• Move the iron back and forth as this happens.  
• Slide the variable steam control button (2) to the “0” position after one minute or when the water reservoir is empty.  
• Place the iron back on its stand (12) to cool down.

CLEANING, STORAGE & MAINTENANCE  
• Always turn the variable steam control to ‘0’ after you have emptied the water tank.  
• Allow iron to cool down.  
• Always store the iron on the metal iron rest or in an upright position on it’s heel rest to  
protect the soleplate.  
• From time to time clean the exterior with a damp cloth and wipe dry.  
• If you use spray starch, wipe the soleplate occasionally with a soft damp cloth to prevent the  
forming of a deposit.  
• If the iron has not been used for a few weeks, hold the iron horizontally and allow it to steam for  
2 minutes before ironing.  
WARNING: The anti-drip function reduces water dripping and water stains. It does  
not prevent water dripping or water stains if you press the steam burst  
button too often or if temperature is too low. The amount of water  
droplets will eventually decrease after iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls of  
steaming and ironing.

Iron Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Potential Reasons & Solutions  
• Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.  
Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket.  
Iron does not heat  
• Thermostat set too low. Turn to higher setting.  
Thermostat ready light  
goes On and Off  
• This is normal. The light goes On and Off as the thermostat is switching  
the heating element On and Off to maintain the selected temperature.  
Some odor or small particles come  
out of steam vents of new iron  
• This is normal. Follow instructions for first use and allow iron to steam through 2-3  
fillings & press the steam burst button occasionally to eliminate small white particles.  
• Water tank may be empty or water level is very low. Add water.  
• Make sure that the temperature control dial and the variable steam control are correctly  
set. For maximum steam, (setting ‘Max’ on steam control), temperature control dial  
should be set on ‘•••’.  
Iron does not steam  
• Always allow the iron to reach the selected temperature with the steam setting at ‘0’.  
Make sure the temperature control dial is set in the correct steam area and the steam  
control is not on ‘0’. For more steam, turn temperature dial to higher setting. e.g. ‘•••’  
and the steam control to ‘Max’.  
• If temperature setting and steam control setting are correct and there is no steam, gently  
tap the soleplate on the ironing board a few times. Move the variable steam control from  
‘0’ to ‘Max’ a few times.  
• Iron may not be hot enough. Set thermostat to the ‘max’ position. Always allow iron  
sufficient time to heat up (thermostat light goes off) before activating the variable steam  
control.  
Water droplets coming  
from steam vents  
• Overuse of steam burst. Allow more time between each burst.  
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn iron off,empty water and follow instructions for filling.  
• Steam performance may be low if iron requires seasoning. Use regular tap water for 1or 2  
tanks until steam performance improves.
