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.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
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.
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON

Before using your Shark Professional
Lightweight 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 burst 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 burst of steam
button several times.
