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:
This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fi t into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fi t fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed
electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
1. Use garment steamer only for its
intended use.
2. DO NOT leave appliance
unattended while it is in operation
or while it is
still hot.
3. Close supervision is necessary for
any appliance being near children.
This appliance is NOT to be used by
children.
4. DO NOT operate the garment
steamer with a damaged cord, plug
or steam hose or after the appliance
malfunctions or after the appliance
has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. To avoid the risk of
electric shock, do not disassemble
the garment steamer. Return the
appliance to EURO-PRO Operating
LLC for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly can cause
the risk of electric shock when the
garment steamer is used.
5. To reduce the risk of contact with
hot water emitting from the steam
vents, check the appliance before
each use by holding it away from
you while operating.
6. Steam only in an up and down
vertical motion. Never use the
steam head in a horizontal position
or tilt into a backward position as
this may result in water discharge.
7. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not immerse garment
steamer in water or other liquids.
8. Always turn the garment steamer
“Off ” before plugging in or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank
the power cord to disconnect from
outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.

Notes
10. Loop the power cord and the hose
loosely around the appliance when
storing.
11. DO NOT remove the hose from the
main unit when the appliance is in
operation as scalding may occur.
12. Always disconnect the garment
steamer from the electrical outlet
when fi lling with water, emptying or
when not in use.
13. Never hang the unit up by the hose
when storing.
14. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause hazard or
injury.
15. Burns can occur from touching
hot metal parts, hot water or
steam. Use care when emptying
the appliance as there may be hot
water in the reservoir.
16. Never direct steam at people,
animals or steam clothes while they
are being worn.
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.
3. Always allow appliance to cool
completely for at least 30 minutes
before storing.
4. DO NOT use the garment steamer
without properly fi lling the water
reservoir. Always check the water
level before and during use.
5. DO NOT lay the hose on the ground
or wind it unnecessarily.
6. CAUTION: Never fi ll the garment
steamer with fabric conditioner,
starches, chemicals or any other
solution, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Use only tap
water or distilled water if the tap
water in your area is ver y hard.
Use of anything other than tap
water will automatically void your
warranty.
7. WARNING! TO AVOID FIRE, never
leave the appliance unattended
while it is plugged in.
8. WARNING! TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK, never use the
garment steamer in a location
