IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

WHEN USING YOUR SHARK® STEAM MOP, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR STEAM MOP.

DANGER OF SCALDING.

Please use caution when using the Steam Mop. The steam emitted from the Steam Mop is very hot.

POLARIZED PLUG:
This appliance 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.

WARNING:

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

1. Use the system only for its intended use.
2. DO NOT use outdoors.
3. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended when plugged in. Always unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.
4. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children, pets or plants.
5. Use only as described in this manual.
6. Use only manufacturer’s recommended accessories.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance with a damaged plug or cord, or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance on your own. Return the appliance to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination and repair. Incorrect re- assembly or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
8. To protect against a risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the Steam Mop into water or any other liquids.
9. DO NOT handle plug or Steam Mop with wet hands or operate appliance without shoes.
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord, use power cord as handle, close a door on the power cord, or pull the power cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

11. 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.
12. DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening that is blocked.
13. DO NOT put hands or feet under the Steam Mop. Unit gets very hot.
14. DO NOT use for space heating purposes.
15. Use ONLY on flat, horizontal surfaces. Do not use on walls, counters or windows.
16. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics, velvet or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
17. DO NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend using distilled water in your Steam Mop.
18. When in use, NEVER turn the appliance over or on its side. NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE STEAM MOP
IN ONE SPOT ON ANY SURFACE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME WHEN MICRO-FIBER PAD IS ATTACHED AS THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR FLOORS.
20. Carefully remove the micro-fiber cleaning pad immediately after you have unplugged and allowed the Steam Mop to cool.
21. When cleaning the Steam Mop, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and clean with a dry or damp cloth. Do not pour water or use alcohol, benzene or paint thinner on the unit.

22. Extreme caution should be exercised when using this appliance to clean stairs.
23. Never use the Steam Mop without micro-fiber cleaning pad attached.
24. Keep your work area well lit.
25. Store the Steam Mop indoors in a cool, dry place.
26. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam cleaner.
27. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
28. Always unplug and allow the Steam Mop to cool before removing or changing mop heads.

WARNING: 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 or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to 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.

Chemicals or cleaning solution may damage the appliance and could be unsafe for you and your family.

ASSEMBLE

1. Insert the Mop handle end labeled “Front” into the Steam Mop body. Make sure it is inserted past the line printed on the pole. Secure the assembled handle and pole by using the large screw and a Phillips or a flat head screwdriver (screwdriver not included). (fig. 1)

2. Fit one side of the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad onto the head first, making sure that the scrub side is facing down, then using the lavender loop, pull the pocket over the head. Attach the hook and loop quick fasteners on the top of the pocket to secure in place. (fig. 2)

3. Snap the mop head into the mop body by lining up the groove on the back of the mop body with the groove on the back of the mop head. Push until you hear it “click” into place. (fig. 3)

4. Turn the water tank cap counter clockwise and remove from the tank. (fig. 4)
Use the filling flask and pour water into the tank. Do not overfill. Replace the cap on the water tank. (fig. 5)

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.

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

Using Your Steam Mop

IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not use the mop without attaching a cleaning pad and adding water to the tank first. When you are using the mop for the first time, it might take longer than the normal 30 seconds to start steaming.

IMPORTANT: Your Steam Mop needs water to make steam! Never use your Steam Mop without water in the tank.

Care of Your Steam Mop

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

Remove the micro-fiber cleaning pad by releasing the quick fasteners and using the lavender loop on the side of the pocket, avoiding contact with the hot pad or dirt. (fig. 12)

2. Empty the water tank before storage.

Remove the water tank cap and empty the tank over a sink. Replace the water cap. (fig. 13)

3. To store the Shark® Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop hanging up, first remove the head (after it has cooled and the steam has been released) then hang on a large hook. (fig. 14)

CARE OF YOUR CLEANING PAD

1. We recommend washing your Sonic Lift™ cleaning pads separately from other fabrics to avoid picking up lint. Only use liquid detergent (no powder detergent). Do not use any fabric softeners or bleach. Line dry or dry on a low dryer setting. (fig. 15)

2. I f there are loose threads on the cleaning pad carefully cut the thread with scissors. Do not pull on them or cut at the base.
(fig. 16)

IMPORTANT: The cleaning pad may be very hot from the steam. Use caution when removing. Let the unit cool for 2-3 minutes before removing the cleaning pad.

AVOIDING DECALCIFICATION IN YOUR STEAM MOP

Calcium and mineral deposits can build up and impact the performance of your Steam Mop over time. To extend the life of your product we recommend that you use distilled water.

Troubleshooting Guide

securely plugged into an electrical outlet only. Check your fuse or breaker.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer Care at 1-800-798-7398.
The unit will not make steam.| Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your Steam Mop following instructions on page 4.
If the unit still doesn’t make steam, follow the decalcification instructions on page 10.
Cannot select steam setting/flashing blue light remains on.| If you have already plugged in your unit, unplug and try a different outlet. This may reset the standby mode.
Add water to the tank and press the STEAM button to select a steam setting.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer Care at 1-800-798-7398.
The Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop leaves water on the floor.| Check to see if your Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad is soaked through. We recommend you unplug the Steam Mop and change the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad.
Make sure the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad is attached correctly.
The Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop left a white spot on the floor.| Do not leave your Steam Mop on the floor with a damp or wet cleaning pad. If you’re using tap water we recommend switching to distilled water.
Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.
Floors are cloudy, streaky or spotty after steaming.| The Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad might be dirty. Change the cleaning pad.
If you washed the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad with powder detergent, then it may be damaged and require replacement.
Replacement pads are available at www.sharkclean.com.
You might have left the mop in the same spot for too long.
Do you have hard water? If you do, you might want to switch to distilled water.
This might be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor surface. Use the Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop a few more times and see if the leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water, letting it dry, and then steam mopping again with a clean pad. One or more rinses generally removes the residue. A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar and two parts water.
The Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop is hard to push.| Make sure the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad is excessively dirty.
Check to see if the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad is excessively wet. If it is, change to a dry cleaning pad.
