GI472H 1 Rev. 09/05 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions carefully. 2. Use iron only for its intended use. 3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids. 4. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect. 5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. 6. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, emptying, or when not in use. 7. 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 the iron to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause the risk of electric shock when the iron is used. 8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being 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; there may be hot water in the reservoir. 10. Never use or rest iron on an unstable surface. 11. While the iron is hot, never set iron on an unprotected surface - even if it is on its heel rest. 12. CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER INJURY, before filling the iron with water, make sure that the plug is removed from the outlet. 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 may overheat. Use care to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. 13. WARNING: Never fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches or any other solution, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water. 14. CAUTION! TO AVOID FIRE, never leave iron unattended while it is plugged in. 15. CAUTION! TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, never use the iron in a location where it can fall or be pulled into water or another liquid. If the iron falls into water or other liquid, unplug it immediately. DO NOT reach into the water or liquid. 16. WARNING: Never use scouring pads, abrasive or chemical cleaners, or solvents to clean the exterior or soleplate of your iron. Doing so will scratch and/or damage the surface. 17. CAUTION! DO NOT aim iron at face, towards yourself, or anyone else while using or adjusting steam. Burns or serious injury may occur. 18. Always store your iron standing upright, not on the soleplate. If stored face down, even the smallest amount of moisture will cause the soleplate to corrode and stain. 19. This appliance is for household use only. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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 not attempt to defeat this safety feature. 10 Model GI472H PRODUCT REGISTRATION CARD ONE (1) YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY EURO-PRO Operating LLC warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original purchase, when utilized for normal household use, subject to the following conditions, exclusions and exceptions.

Printed in China TROUBLESHOOTING GETTING TO KNOW YOUR IRON Before using your Steam Iron, remove any labels, stickers or tags that may be attached to the body or soleplate of the iron. When turned on for the first time, your new iron may emit an odor for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used in making the iron. The odor is safe and should not reoccur after initial heating. Also, before ironing with steam for the first time, allow iron to heat, hold in a horizontal position and hit the blast of steam button several times. The iron may emit some small particles from the steam holes. This is normal and will clear after pressing the blast of steam button several times. 12 PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS Iron does not heat Thermostat ready light goes On and Off Some odor or small particles come out of steam vents of new iron Iron does not steam Water droplets coming from steam vents • Iron should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only. Make sure that the plug is securely in the socket. • Temperature setting too low. Turn to higher setting. • 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. • 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 "•••". • Adjustable steam control is set on "0". Always allow the iron to reach the selected temperature with the adjustable steam control setting at "0". Make sure the temperature control dial is set in the correct steam area, e.g. "•", 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. • 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. • Iron may be set to “Self Clean” mode. • Steam performance may be low if iron requires seasoning. To season, use regular tap water for 1or 2 tanks until steam performance improves. 1. Blast Of Steam 2. Spray Button 3. Variable Steam Control 4. Water Inlet With Cover 5. Spray Nozzle 6.
