20 Most Recent Euro-Pro EP1005 Iron - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Could be a hidden recall. I'd check MFG website, or email their customer service.

We have a Euro Pro GI472, which kept going off and on, and the problem seemed to be an intermittent connection in the power circuit. If we "fiddled" with the cord, the power light would go off and on. To get the back off, I removed the two screws below the rubber feet, near the identification tag. Then I had to pop the red plastic light lens off the top of the iron. The lens is held by two plastic "claws" one at the top and at the bottom of the lens. Once the lens is out, there is a small Phillips-head screw visible between two light sources. I removed the screw, and that freed the cover, and made it possible to access the wiring. Testing continuity from the wall plug to the two wires inside the iron, and flexing the cord, quickly led to a spot in the cord that was slightly kinked, and that was the location of the fault. Both wires under the insulation were broken. In fact there were small balls of melted copper near the breaks. Then it is a matter of making sure you know which wire of the power cord goes to which spot in the iron (a photo or a sketch will save mistakes when reassembling) cutting out the faulty wire, getting a suitable crimp connector and a wire nut and rewiring the iron.

The voltage in Israel is 220 volts. Check the information plate on your iron to see if it will operate on 220 volts. If it will, then you will only need an adapter from the two round pins to a two slot receptacle that you can plug your iron into. If your iron will not use 220 volts then you will need a 220/120 volt transformer with a 1 and one half times larger wattage rating on it than watt rating on your iron. Our iron is 1200 watts. We would need a 2000 watt transformer. On Amazon they cost eighty nine dollars and weigh 29 pounds. And they ship them overseas. Best of Luck

The cord has an internal break and it made contact and burned through the insulation, your arm happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Have the cord replaced before you use the iron again. If you happen to touch that bare spot on the cord you could be electrocuted.

1.Turn the temperature dial to a setting compatible with the garment being ironed. Set the iron on its heel upright, and allow the iron to fully heat for two minutes prior to ironing.

2.Hold the iron in a horizontal position and begin to iron the garment. When the iron is turned to a horizontal position, it will automatically produce steam. Turn the steam dial to a setting to produce the desired amount of steam for the garment being ironed.

3.Press the water spray button to shoot a jet of water on the garment to help remove stubborn wrinkles. To produce extra steam when using the steam iron, press the burst-of-steam button to release an extra shot of steam during ironing.

4.Hold the iron in a vertical position to stop producing steam. For vertical steaming from the iron, use the burst-of-steam function.

Using the Burst-of-Steam Feature


1.Place the iron upright on its heel. Preheat the iron for two minutes at the maximum heat setting.

2.Place the garment on a hanger away from other garments, and away from people.

3.Hold the iron about 2 inches from the fabric being steamed, and press the burst-of-steam button, pointing directly to the wrinkles. Steam will exit from the soleplate. Wave or move the steam iron over the garment in areas needing ironing while pressing the burst-of-steam button.

4.Stop the steaming by resting the iron in a vertical position on its heel.
