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 EURO-PRO 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.

g. DO NOT handle plug or fabric steamer with wet hands or operate without shoes.
h. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord, use power cord as a handle, close a door on the power cord, or pull the power cord around sharp corners or edges.

i. DO NOT allow power cord to touch hot surfaces.
j. ALWAYS disconnect system from electrical outlet when filling the water tank or emptying and when not in use.
k. NEVER aim or direct steam towards people, animals, or plants. The steam is very hot
and can cause burns. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, steam, steam bonnets or frames.
l. DO NOT operate the product while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
m. DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
n. Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry area out of the reach of children.
o. Keep your work area well lit.
p. Let the system cool completely before putting away.
q. Keep out of the reach of children.
r. Burns could occur from touching hot metal, hot water or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down, there may be hot water in the reservoir.
