Shark Scrubbing and Sanitizing Steam Mop User Guide

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
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 attempt to defeat this safety feature. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this product.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGS
WHEN USING YOUR SHARK® STEAM & SCRUB, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

2. 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.

3. DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If steam mop is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into 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.

4. To protect against a risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the steam mop in water or any other liquids.

5. DO NOT handle the plug or steam mop with wet hands or operate it without wearing shoes.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Unplug before servicing.

9. ALWAYS make sure the steam mop is UNPLUGGED when not in use.

10. NEVER fill the steam mop or attach the mop head 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.

11. When cleaning the exterior of the steam mop, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and clean the steam mop with a dry or damp cloth. DO NOT  pour water or use alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner on the steam mop.

12. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam mop.

13. To avoid scalding injuries, ALWAYS unplug and allow the steam mop to cool before removing or changing mop heads, accessories, or Dirt Grip® pads.
    USE WARNINGS

14. When in use, NEVER turn the steam mop over on its side or direct steam toward people, pets or plants.

15. Use the system only for its intended use.

16. DO NOT use for space-heating purposes.

17. DO NOT use outdoors.

18. DO NOT allow the steam mop to be used by children. Close attention is necessary when used near children, pets, or plants.

19. Use only as described in this owner’s guide.

20. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended accessories.

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

22. DO NOT put hands or feet under the steam mop. It gets very hot.

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

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

25. DO NOT add cleaning solutions, 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.

26. NEVER leave any Dirt Grip® pads in one spot while using or storing for an extended period, as this may damage your surfaces.

27. You can release the Dirt Grip® pads after you have unplugged the steam mop and allowed it to cool.

28. Extreme caution should be exercised when using the steam mop to clean stairs.

29. NEVER use a steam mop without the Dirt Grip® pads attached.

30. Keep your work area well lit.

31. Store steam mop indoors in a cool, dry place.

32. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

34. The steam emitted from the steam mop is very hot and may cause scalding. Please use caution when using the steam mop.

35. DO NOT use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax and on some unwaxed floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action.

36. ALWAYS test 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.

37. DO NOT scrub any one area for an extended period.

38. DO NOT use the steam mop without attaching the Dirt Grip® pads and adding water to the water tank. When you use the steam mop for the first time, it might take longer than the normal 30 seconds to start steaming.

39. DO NOT use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax and on some unwaxed floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. Check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.

40. To prolong the life of your steam mop, we recommend using distilled water. 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.

INTELLIGENT STEAM CONTROL®

The Shark® Steam & Scrub steam mop has 2 unique Intelligent Steam Control settings so you can select the ideal amount of steam to use for each cleaning task.  In NORMAL mode, the pads will spin faster and more steam will be produced than in LIGHT mode. See below for tips on when to use each setting.

SETTING

| IDEAL FOR THESE SEALED  SURFACES|

RECOMMENDED USAGE

---|---|---
LIGHT
| Laminate Hardwood Vinyl| Cleaning delicate surfaces Light cleaning and dusting Loosening and lifting light dirt
NORMAL
| Marble Tile Stone| Basic, everyday cleaning Cleaning large areas Cleaning moderate and heavy traffic areas Sanitizing* floors

*TO SANITIZE:**
1 Attach clean Dirt Grip® Soft Scrub Pads to the scrubbing mop head.
2 Plug in the unit, tilt the mop handle down towards you, and press the mode button to select the NORMAL setting. The pads will then start spinning.
3 Wait 30 seconds for the unit to begin producing steam.
4 Start mopping with a forward and backward motion on an appropriate sealed hard floor surface. After three minutes, your unit will be ready to sanitize.
5 Move the mop head slowly and evenly over the area to be sanitized while applying continuous downward pressure. Slowly repeat at least 15 times.

• Sanitization studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Household conditions and results may vary. With mop head in NORMAL mode.

CARING FOR YOUR STEAM & SCRUB

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

Open the tank lid and pour the water out into a sink or bathtub. After all the water has drained out, close the lid.
4 To store the steam mop, wait until after it has cooled and the steam has been released. Store steam mop in a dry protected area until next use.

DIRT GRIP® SOFT SCRUB PADS CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Care
Machine-wash the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads separately with warm water using liquid detergent.
NEVER USE BLEACH, POWDERED DETERGENT, OR FABRIC SOFTENERS as they may damage the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads or leave a coating that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads should be line- dried or tumble-dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric (fig. 10).
Loose fibers can indicate wearing of microfiber fabric. DO NOT pull the loose fibers, as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim the loose fibers with scissors (fig. 11).
Replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads For best cleaning results, we recommend replacing the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub 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.
You can purchase replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads and other accessories by visiting sharkclean.com.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

|

POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

---|---
The steam mop isn’t producing any steam.| The steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet. Check your fuse or circuit breaker or try a different outlet. Make sure the water tank is full, the unit is plugged in, and the mode button is illuminated. If the Settings lights are off, try a different electrical outlet. If the Settings lights are blinking, press the mode button to select a steam setting. If the Settings lights are solid, wait 30  seconds for the unit to warm up. If after following the above steps the steam mop  still does not produce any steam, contact Customer Service at 1-800-798- 7398 or visit sharkclean.com
The steam mop is producing intermittent steam.| This is normal. For more consistent steam, select the NORMAL setting. Also, make sure the water tank is full.
I can’t select a steam setting.| Make sure the steam mop is plugged in and the Settings lights are flashing. If your steam mop is producing steam but the Settings lights are off, call customer service at 1-800-798-7398.
Floors are cloudy, streaky, or spotty after steaming.| The Dirt Grip® Soft Scrub Pads might be dirty. Install a clean set of pads. If you washed the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads with powdered detergent, then they could be damaged and require replacement. Due to accumulated soap or grease residue, the floor may require several cleanings with the Steam Mop. A  more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar and two parts water (but DO NOT put any cleaning solution into the steam mop’s water tank.) Please consult your flooring manufacturer’s care and maintenance instructions before applying any cleaning products or solutions.
It’s hard to push or pull the mop.| The mop might be hard to push or pull if the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads aren’t wet enough. It should get easier to move the mop across the floor after it’s been running for a few minutes. Overly dirty pads could also make it harder to push or pull the mop. We recommend using clean pads.
Rotating discs are not turning or are wobbling.| The steam mop may be in the upright position. Tilt the handle down to use the mop. The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads may not be centered. Turn the power  OFF, unplug the steam mop, waiting for a few moments to allow the pads to cool,  then reinstall the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads.
The steam mop is vibrating or wobbling.| The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads are not centered on the rotating discs. Turn the power OFF and unplug the unit, and wait for the pads to cool. Follow the instructions in the Assembling Your Steam & Scrub section to reinstall the pads.
The steam mop turns off on its own.| If the steam mop shuts off in use, it likely needs to cool down. Perform the following steps before you restart cleaning.
1. Turn the steam mop off, unplug it, and remove the pads.
2. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3. Reinstall the pads. Plugin the steam mop, select your steam mode and begin cleaning.
