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.

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.
