IRONING CHART  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON  
The odor is safe and should not reoccur  
after initial heating.  
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.  
NOTE: Always refer to the garment care tag for ironing instructions. Before starting to  
iron delicate fabrics, it is best to first test the temperature of the iron on a hem or an  
inside seam.  
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
AUTO SHUT-OFF  
SELF CLEANING  
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE  
NOTE: Because of the soleplate design,  
ordinary tap water may be used with this  
iron. However, in very hard water areas,  
we recommend using distilled or  
demineralized water.  
ONLY and may be plugged into any  
120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do  
not use any other type of outlet.  
The SHARK Professional Lightweight  
Iron is equipped with an auto shut-off. The  
auto shut-off switches the iron off if it has  
been left standing unmoved in any  
position (sideways, flat or upright) for  
approximately 7-9 minutes. A red light on  
the LED display panel will flash when the  
iron switches itself off. (Fig. 6) To switch  
the iron back on, just shake the iron side-  
to-side several times.  
It is important to “Self Clean” the iron at  
least every two weeks to remove scale,  
calcium, etc. The harder the water, the  
more often the iron should be self  
cleaned.

4. Place the iron on its heel on a stable,  
protected surface and allow the iron  
to heat for approximately two (2)  
minutes or until the temperature  
settings on the right side of the LED  
display panel have stopped flashing.  
5. Turn the variable steam control dial  
to the right to increase the amount of  
steam. When using extra steam, the  
iron uses more water and it may be  
necessary to fill the water tank more  
often. (Fig. 2)  
Always read garment labels and follow  
the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.  
Refer to the “Ironing Chart” on page 9  
for temperature recommendations:  
WARNING To prevent fire, do not  
leave iron unattended while  
connected.  
Sort articles to be ironed according  
to the type of fabric. This will reduce  
the need to adjust the temperature  
for different types of garments.  
If you are not sure of the fiber  
content of a garment, test fabric by  
ironing a small area such as a seam  
or inside hem section before ironing  
a visible area. Start with a low  
temperature setting and gradually  
increase to find the best setting.  
When reducing the temperature to  
iron sensitive fabrics, allow  
approximately 2 minutes for the iron  
to cool to the new temperature  
setting.  
Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen  
and silk are best ironed with an  
ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.  
Use low settings for nylon and other  
synthetics.  
•• Use moderate settings for wool,  
silks, and blends.  
Fig. 3  
••• Use high settings for cottons and  
linens.  
5. Slide the variable steam control  
up to increase the amount of  
steam. (Fig. 3) When using extra  
steam, the iron uses more water  
and it may be necessary to fill  
the tank more often. See page 4  
for refilling the iron with water.  
6. Steam is produced as soon as  
the iron is held in the horizontal  
position. Steam will stop coming  
out when the iron is put on its  
heel in a vertical position or by  
setting the variable steam control  
to “0”.  
1. Stand the iron upright on its heel.  
2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V  
AC electrical outlet.  
3. Press the electronic temperature  
control until you get the desired  
fabric/temperature setting.  
4. The light on the right side of the LED  
display panel will stop flashing when  
the desired temperature has been  
reached. (Fig. 5)  
Fig. 2
