IRONING CHART  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELECTRONIC IRON  
Before using your Shark Professional  
The odor is safe and should not reoccur  
after initial heating.  
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.  
Intelligent Electronic 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.  
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.

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
