IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the iron.
2. Use iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids.
4. The iron thermostat should always be turned to its lowest position before plugging or unplugging from
outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around
iron when storing.
6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling iron with water or emptying and when not in use.
7. 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. Send it to an authorized EURO-PRO service center for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when iron is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while
connected or on an ironing board.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron
upside down as there may be hot water in the reservoir. Never direct steam at any person, especially when using
the iron in a vertical position. The steam is very hot and can cause burns.
10. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by EURO-PRO Operating LLC may result in fire, electrical
shock or personal injury.
11. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
12. Do not use iron outdoors.
13. This product is for household use only.
WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

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.
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.

IMPORTANT
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.
1) Lift iron from stand.
2) Holding the iron horizontally in front of you, gently rock the iron back and forth several times.
This motion will reset the safety switch inside the iron. Do not shake the iron.
•The red temperature light will illuminate when the auto shut-off system has been reset.
•Allow time for the iron to re-heat.
•The red indicator light will go out when the iron is ready for use.
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.

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.

CHOOSING THE IRONING TEMPERATURE
Temperature Control Dial Variable Steam Control
Set the temperature dial according to the type of fabric .
• Synthetics
(low temperature)
• • Silk, Wool
(medium temperature)
• • • Cotton, Linen
(high temperature)
Please note: Before starting to iron delicate fabrics, it is best to first test the
temperature of the iron on a hem or an inside seam.
CONNECTING THE IRON TO THE POWER SUPPLY
• Make sure that the variable steam control dial is set at ‘0’.
• Place the iron upright on the heel rest.
• 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.
• The thermostat ready light will go on & off as the thermostat is switching the heating
element on & off to maintain the selected temperature.
8
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).
• Do not overfill.
Note: Regular tap water can be used up to 12 grains water hardness but if your
water exceeds this we suggest using 1/3 tap water and 2/3 distilled water.
Never use 100% distilled water as this could cause water spitting and low
steam performance.
9
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’.
• Vertical steam: For vertical burst of steam, pump control
button (5) located on the top of the handle selection of your
iron. The vertical steam function is useful for steaming curtains
and drapes will still hanging, or for powering out stubborn
wrinkles while ironing on a board.
10
WATER SPRAY
• Use the spray button to add moisture to stubborn wrinkles.
• First make sure that there is water in the tank.
• Press the spray button (6) slowly to get a jet spray.
• Press the spray button strongly and quickly to get a mist.
• Please note: If spray does not come out when you press the
spray button, cover the spray opening with your finger and press
a few times.
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.
