Shark GI495N Owner's Guide

To clean the water tank, empty any remaining water after use, then fill it halfway with a mixture of water and vinegar. Let it sit for an hour, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Ensure the iron is properly plugged in and the power switch is on. Check if the temperature dial is set correctly. If it still doesn't heat, consider checking the power outlet or consulting a professional for repairs.
To prevent leaks, do not overfill the water tank and ensure the iron is not left horizontally with water in the tank. Adjust the steam settings appropriately based on the fabric being ironed.
Descale the iron by filling the water tank with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Allow the iron to steam for a few minutes, then empty the tank and rinse with clean water.
To use the vertical steam function, hold the iron upright and press the steam burst button. Use it on hanging garments or curtains for best results.
Clean the soleplate by gently scrubbing with a mixture of baking soda and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the soleplate.
Clean the iron's water tank and soleplate monthly to maintain optimal performance. If you use hard water, consider more frequent cleaning.
The Shark GI495N iron is safe for most fabrics including cotton, linen, wool, silk, and synthetics. Always check the garment care label for specific instructions.
The clicking noise is normal and indicates the thermostat is adjusting to maintain the desired temperature. If the noise is excessive, ensure the iron is on a stable surface.
While you can use tap water, using distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup and extend the life of your iron.
