Euro-Pro CRAFT IRON IR410 - Manual (Page 5)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE
ONLY and may be plugged into any
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do
not use any other type of outlet. WARNING! Before filling the iron
with water, be sure the iron is not
plugged into the electrical outlet. The
iron may be filled with water while it
is hot.
EMPTYING THE IRON
1. Always turn the variable steam
control to “0” after you have emptied
the water tank.
2. Allow the iron to cool down.
3. Always store the iron in the upright
position to protect the soleplate.
4. From time to time, clean the exterior
of the iron with a damp cloth and
wipe dry.
5. If you use spray starch, wipe the
soleplate occasionally with a soft
damp cloth to prevent the build-up of
deposits.
6. If the iron has not been used for a
few weeks, hold the iron horizontally
and allow to steam for 2 minutes
before ironing.
1. Always empty iron after each use.
2. When finished using the iron, turn
the variable steam control to “0” and
the temperature control dial to “MIN”.
3. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet.
4. Set variable steam control to “MAX”.
5. Turn the iron upside down over the
sink with the tip pointing downward
and allow the water to flow from the
opening.
6. Set variable steam control to “0”.
7. Allow iron to cool in an upright
position before storing.
DRY IRONING
WARNING! TO PREVENT THE RISK
OF BURNS, use caution when filling
iron with water. Burns can occur
from touching hot metal parts, hot
water, or steam.
NOTE: Because of the soleplate design,
ordinary tap water may be used with this
iron. However, in very hard water areas,
we recommend using distilled or
demineralized water.
CAUTION : Never fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or any
other liquid, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
1. Turn temperature dial to “••” or “•••
and slide lever all the way to the left.
2. Holding the iron at a slight angle,
pour water slowly into the water
filling inlet. See figure 2. Fill tank to
desired level or to the “MAX” water
level marking using the water filling
flask. (When the iron is upright, the
blue, see-through water tank allows
you to gauge the amount of water.)
DO NOT overfill the tank.
All marked settings on the temperature
dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide
the variable steam control lever all the
down as shown in Figure 1. This will cut
off the steam flow if water is in the tank.
WARNING! Use caution when
emptying the iron. Burns may occur
from touching hot metal surfaces,
hot water or steam.
