IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, fire, electric shock, and property damage resulting from improper use of the appliance, carefully observe the following instructions. This unit contains electrical connections and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.

DANGER OF SCALDING: THE STEAM EMITTED FROM THE STEAM MOP IS VERY HOT AND MAY CAUSE SCALDING. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE STEAM MOP.

1. Keep Steam Mop away from children.
2. When in use, NEVER turn the Steam Mop over on its side or direct steam toward people, pets, or plants.

3. Use the system ONLY for its intended purpose.

4. DO NOT use for space-heating.
5. DO NOT use outdoors.
6. DO NOT leave the Steam Mop unattended when plugged in. ALWAYS unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.

7. DO NOT allow the Steam Mop to be used by children. Close attention is necessary when used near children, pets, or plants.

8. Use ONLY as described in this instruction manual.

9. Use ONLY manufacturer’s recommended accessories.

10. DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If the Steam Mop is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in water, return it to SharkNinja Operating LLC for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury when the Steam Mop is used.

11. To protect against a risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the Steam Mop in water or any other liquid.

12. DO NOT handle the plug or Steam Mop with wet hands or operate it without wearing shoes.

13. DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run Steam Mop over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power cord. DO NOT use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current- carrying capacity.

15. DO NOT put any objects into the steam nozzle openings. Discontinue use if the steam nozzle is blocked.

16. DO NOT put hands or feet under the Steam Mop. It gets very hot.

17. Use ONLY on flat, horizontal surfaces. DO NOT use on walls, counters, or windows.

18. DO NOT use on leather, wax-polished furniture, synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other delicate, steam-sensitive materials.

19. DO NOT add cleaning solutions, vinegar, scented perfumes, oils, or any other chemicals to the water used in the Steam Mop as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use. If you live in a hard-water area, we recommend using distilled water in your Steam Mop.

20. NEVER store or leave Steam Mop in one spot with Dirt Grip™ pad attached, as this may damage surfaces.

21. Before removing Dirt Grip pad, unplug the Steam Mop and allow it to cool.

22. Unplug the Steam Mop before cleaning. Use a dry or damp cloth to clean the exterior. DO NOT pour water on Steam Mop, or use alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner to clean.

23. Extreme caution should be exercised when using the Steam Mop to clean stairs.

24. NEVER use Steam Mop without the Dirt Grip pad attached.

25. Keep your work area well lit.

26. Store Steam Mop indoors in a cool, dry place.

27. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the Steam Mop.

28. To avoid scalding injuries, ALWAYS unplug the Steam Mop and allow it to cool before removing or changing mop heads, accessories, or Dirt Grip pads.

29. Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will withstand high heat. DO NOT use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax and on some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. We recommend testing an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.

POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Steam Mop 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 force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHARK® STEAM MOP

WELCOME!
Congratulations on your purchase. Use this instruction manual to learn about your new Steam Mop’s great features. From assembly to use to maintenance, you will find it all in here.

NOTE: When assembling your Steam Mop there may be a little water in or around the water tank. This is because we thoroughly test all of our Steam Mops before you buy them, so you get a quality Shark* Steam Mop.

ASSEMBLING YOUR STEAM MOP

WARNING : ALWAYS make sure the Steam Mop is UNPLUGGED when not in use. NEVER fill the Steam Mop when the Steam Mop is plugged into an electrical outlet. Unplug from the electrical outlet and allow to cool before you fill the mop, or attach or remove the head. Make sure you add only water to the tank. Chemicals or cleaning solutions (including vinegar) may damage the Steam Mop and could be unsafe for you and your family.

1. Align the mop handle and mop pole so the arrow symbols inside them face forward. Insert either end of the pole into the handle until it clicks securely into place.

2. Align the assembled steam mop pole and the steam mop body, so their arrow symbols both face forward. Insert the pole into the top of the mop body, sliding it in until it clicks into place.

3. Place the Dirt Grip™ cleaning pad on the floor with the quick fastener strips facing up. Align the mop head directly over the pad, then press the mop head down onto the pad. The quick fastener strips will secure the pad to the mop head.

USING YOUR STEAM MOP

CAUTION: DO NOT scrub any one area for an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT: Before you fill up the tank, make sure your Steam Mop is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you DO NOT use the Shark® Steam Mop without first attaching a Dirt Grip™ pad and filling the tank with water.

NOTE: To prolong the life of your Steam Mop, we recommend using distilled water.

NOTE: Sweep or vacuum your floors prior to cleaning with your Steam Mop.

NOTE: Please wait 2 to 3 minutes for the Steam Mop to cool off before removing the Dirt Grip pad. NEVER leave the Steam Mop with a damp or wet Dirt Grip pad on any floor for an extended period of time.

1. To remove the tank, lift it up and away from the Steam Mop body. Make sure to unplug the Steam Mop before removing the water tank.

2. To remove the water tank cap, twist counterclockwise. Fill tank completely with distilled water or tap water.

3. Replace cap on water tank and turn cap clockwise to seal.

4. To replace the water tank, align it so the cap faces down. Place the cap into the hole in the Steam Mop body and slide tank down until it clicks securely into place.

1. Pull and twist the quick release cord holder to unwrap the power cord completely. When Steam Mop is plugged into an electrical outlet, the power light will illuminate. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the mop to heat up and the steam to be ready.

2. Pump the handle a few times in a downward motion. This pumping action will release steam as you mop and allows you to customize the amount of steam you want. Begin mopping with a forward and backward motion. The natural motion of mopping will produce steam.

3. When the water tank is empty, the Steam Mop will stop producing steam. Make sure to unplug the Steam Mop before refilling the water tank. Follow the water tank refilling instructions on pages 7-8.

TO SANITIZE* WITH YOUR STEAM MOP

1. Start with a clean pad.
2. Pump the handle a few times in a downward motion.
3. Start mopping on an appropriate sealed hard-floor surface with a forward and backward motion. After three minutes, your unit is ready to be used to sanitize.

4. Using a forward and backward motion, move the unit over the area you seek to sanitize.

Repeat at least 15 times.

*Sanitization studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Household conditions and results may vary.

ACCESSORIES

The Quick Start Guide shows the select accessories that are included with your model.

To purchase additional accessories, visit sharkaccessories.com

DIRT GRIP™ WASHABLE PAD
These easy-to-attach, reusable pads feature a super-absorbent microfiber for locking in moisture and dirt, and scrubbing material for breaking up tough, stuck-on stains.

PAD CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Machine-wash the Dirt Grip pads separately with warm water using liquid detergent.

NEVER USE BLEACH, POWDERED DETERGENT, OR FABRIC SOFTENERS as they may damage or leave a coating on the Dirt Grip pads that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. Dirt Grip pads should be line-dried or tumble- dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric.

Loose fibers can indicate wearing of the microfiber fabric. DO NOT pull the loose fibers, as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim the loose fibers with scissors.

For best cleaning results, we recommend replacing your Dirt Grip pads every 3 to 4 months following normal use. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease, friction, and repeated washing can cause the fibers to break down, and you may notice an increase in the effort needed to push or pull the mop.

MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM MOP

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, unplug unit before servicing.

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

1. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet, and wrap the cord around the cord hooks. Lock the Steam Mop in an upright standing position by raising the handle until the pole is standing straight up, perpendicular to the ground.

2. After cleaning, wait 2 to 3 minutes to let the Dirt Grip™ pad cool before touching it. When cool, remove pad from mop head to avoid damage to your floors. Remove the pad by stepping on the tab and lifting off the mop head, or by carefully pulling the pad off the mop head.

3. With the unit locked in the upright standing position, store it in a closet or the corner of a room.
