Shark gi465d User Manual

All marked settings on the temperature 

dial can be used for dry ironing. Slide 

the variable steam control lever to the 

“0” position as shown in Figure 1. This 

will cut off the steam flow if water is in 

the tank.

1. Turn temperature dial to "MIN" and 

slide the variable steam control lever 

all the way to "0".

2. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet. The temperature 

indicator light  will come on, 

indicating that the iron is receiving 

power.

3. Turn the temperature dial to the 

desired setting. (See "Ironing Guide" 

for a guide to temperature selection.)

4. Place iron on its heel (on a stable, 

protected surface) while iron is 

warming to desired temperature.

5. When the desired temperature is 

reached, the temperature indicator 

light will go “Off”.

1.  Always turn the variable steam 

control to "0" after you have emptied 

the water tank.

2.  Allow the iron to cool down.

3.  Always store the iron in the upright 

position to protect the soleplate.

4.  From time to time, clean the exterior 

of the iron with a damp cloth and 

wipe dry.

5.  If you use spray starch, wipe the 

soleplate occasionally with a soft 

damp cloth to prevent the build-up of 

deposits.

6.  If the iron has not been used for a 

few weeks, hold the iron horizontally 

and allow to steam for 2 minutes 

before ironing.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE 

ONLY and may be plugged into any 

120V AC polarized electrical outlet. Do 

not use any other type of outlet.

NOTE: Because of the soleplate design, 

ordinary tap water may be used with this 

iron. However, in very hard water areas, 

we recommend using distilled or 

demineralized water.

1. Turn temperature dial to "Min" and 

slide the variable steam control lever 

to the “0” position.

2. Holding the iron at a slight angle, 

pour water slowly into the water 

filling inlet. )Fig. 2) Fill tank to 

desired level or to the "MAX" water 

level marking using the water filling 

flask. (When the iron is upright, see-

through water tank allows you to 

gauge the amount of water.) DO 

NOT overfill the tank. 

3. Plug the cord into a polarized, 120V 

AC electrical outlet.

In order to remove calcium and built-up 

particles, the self-cleaning system should be 

run at least once a month. (Fig. 9)

• Fill the water flask provided to the half-full 

mark and then pour into the water 

reservoir.

• Set the variable steam control to the no 

steam position (“0”).

• Insert the plug into the wall socket.

• Set the temperature control dial to the 

maximum temperature.

• Wait until the temperature indicator light 

goes off and steam iron has reached 

preset temperature.

• Remove the plug from the wall socket.

• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a 

sink.

• Place the variable steam control lever to 

“Self-Clean” position.  Hot water and 

steam will be emitted from the soleplate. 

Swing the steam iron lightly back and forth 

gently to allow lime and dust particles to 

come out.    

• When the water reservoir is empty, slide 

the variable steam control lever from “Self-

Clean” position to “0”.

• Stand the iron upright and insert the plug 

into the wall socket to let the iron heat up 

again.

• Move the iron over a clean cotton cloth to 

clean the soleplate and let the remaining 

water on the soleplate evaporate.

1.  Always empty iron after each use.

2. When finished using the iron, turn 

the variable steam control to “0” and 

the temperature control dial to “MIN”.

3. Unplug the iron from the electrical 

outlet.

4.  Set variable steam control to “MAX”.

5. Turn the iron upside down over the 

sink with the tip pointing downward 

and allow the water to flow from the 

opening. 

6.  Set variable steam control to “0”.

7.  Allow iron to cool in an upright 

position before storing.

Built-in Anti-Drip feature helps reduce 

water spots by cutting the water flow 

when the iron temperature is too low to 

build sufficient steam. The anti-drip 

function reduces water dripping and 

water stains. It does not prevent water 

dripping and water stains if you press 

the steam burst button too often or if the 

temperature is too low. The amount of 

water droplets will eventually decrease 

after the iron is used for 2 to 3 tankfuls

of steaming and ironing.
