Burned out and Leaks

The cost of servicing it probably makes replacement a better alternative.

It is quite possible that this is a defect in the shark G1490F... I had the same problem and it was a crack in the water holding tank caused by tightening the two front screws (hidden) that hold the tank to the base... It seemed fine at first but after a full heating it developed a crack where it had been weakened when it was assembled... I suggest returning it or if warranty is up , throw it away and get something else..

Hi,

Bought my Shark G1400Z iron about a year ago. The iron caught on fire. Luckly I was only out of the room for a few seconds. What can be done about this?

Hi
You obviously live in a hard water area and use the iron a lot.
Try using distilled water only. You can get this from motorists shops, they use it for topping up batteries.
please leave feedback
THANKS

yeah, mine too. I lost the manual, I figure it's the price I pay for driving a Ferrari.

I always purchase your Product and Irons. I like your product very much. so please provide me with address to sent this Iron back for repair.
