USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS Congratulations! You are the owner of the EURO-PRO 1600 Watt Professional Steam Iron. To fully enjoy the advantages of your appliance, please take a few minutes to read all the “Use & Care Instructions” and keep the instructions handy for easy reference.
Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water or emptying and when not in use. Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the iron.
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.

Resetting After Auto Shut-Off The auto shut-off safety function of your EURO-PRO EP480 Iron is designed to engage after approximately 8 minutes of non use. The blue indicator light will flash when the auto shut-off has activated. To reset your iron and continue ironing follow these steps.
Always follow the Important Safeguards. 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.

• Select the required temperature setting on the temperature control dial. • The red thermostat light will come on indicating that the iron is heating up. • When the red light goes out, the set temperature has been reached and the iron is ready to use.
FILLING WITH WATER • Ensure the unit is unplugged from the main supply before filling. • Set the variable steam control (4) to position "MIN" (ie. No steam) • slide the water filling inlet cover (7) down and use the measuring beaker (12) to pour the water in through the filling aperture (see picture).
• 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’.
• 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.
“0”. • Stand the iron upright and insert the plug into the wall socket to let the iron heat up again. • Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to clean the soleplate and let the remaining water on the soleplate evaporate.

• 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.

• 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.
