IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Before using your Shark Professional Lightweight Iron, remove any labels,

The odor is safe and should not reoccur after initial heating.

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.

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

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.

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.

 

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.

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.
