WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
WHEN USING YOUR SHARK® GARMENT
STEAMER, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR
GARMENT STEAMER.
DANGER OF SCALDING
Please use caution when using the garment steamer.
The steam emitted from the openings is very hot.
POLARIZED PLUG:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.
Do not change the plug in any way.
1. USE THE SYSTEM ONLY FOR ITS INTENDED USE AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
2. ONLY USE WATER. To extend the life of your 3 in 1
Fabric Steamer, we recommend using distilled water
especially if you live in an area with hard tap water.
3. DO NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes,
oils, or any other chemicals to the water used in this
appliance as this may damage the unit or make it
unsafe for use.
4. Use of any substances other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories will automatically void your
warranty.
5. DO NOT use outdoors.
6. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended when
plugged in.
7. Always unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet
when not in use, when filling the water tank and before
cleaning.
8. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy.
9. DO NOT put any objects into openings or operate with
any opening blocked.
10. DO NOT use on leather, suede, vinyl, plastic or other
delicate steam sensitive materials. Always determine
the colorfastness of any fabric before using the
fabric steamer by testing it on a small portion of the
garment’s underside.
11. This appliance and the accessories become hot during
use. Exercise care when changing accessories and
follow removal and changing instructions as outlined
in the manual. Do not change frames while the unit is
turned on. Turn the unit off, wait for the unit to cool,
and then change frames.
12. The garment steamer can be used in a vertical or
horizontal motion. NEVER hold the steam head down
while at rest or tilt it in a backward position as this may
result in discharge.
13. When cleaning the garment steamer, unplug the power
cord and clean with a dry or damp cloth. DO NOT pour
water on the unit or use alcohol, benzene or paint
thinner on the unit.
14. NEVER attempt to steam clothing while it is
being worn.
15. To protect against a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury:
a. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate
another appliance on the same socket (circuit)
as the fabric steamer.
b. DO NOT immerse any part of the system in
water or other liquids.
c. DO NOT pull power cord to disconnect
from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
d. DO NOT use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity. 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.
e. DO NOT operate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged.
f. DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the
fabric steamer. Return the system to EUROPRO Operating LLC for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly or repair can cause a risk
of electrical shock or injury to persons when
the fabric steamer is used.
