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. Use ONLY on flat, horizontal surfaces. Do not use on walls, counters or windows.
15. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics, velvet or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
16. 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.
17. When in use, NEVER turn the appliance over or on its side. NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
18. 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.
19. Carefully remove the micro-fiber cleaning pad immediately after you have unplugged and allowed the steam mop to cool.

20. 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.
21. Extreme caution should be exercised when using this appliance to clean stairs.
22. Never use steam mop without micro-fiber cleaning pad attached.
23. Keep your work area well lit.
24. Store steam mop indoors in a cool, dry place.
25. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam cleaner.
26. 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.

27. 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.

To order additional parts and accessories, visitwww.SharkClean.com or call 1-800-798-7398.

CARE OF YOUR MICRO-FIBER CLEANING PAD

1. We recommend washing your micro-fiber cleaning pad 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. 14)

2. If there are loose threads on the micro-fiber cleaning pad carefully cut the thread with scissors. Do not pull on them or cut at the base. (fig. 15)

DECALCIFYING 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 or Shark®’s
Water Filtration Bottle.
Visit www.SharkClean.com to order (model XTWFBOI).

CLEANING THE NOZZLE
Your steam mop should not normally require cleaning, however, should you notice a decrease in the steam output, it may be necessary to remove mineral deposits built up around the nozzle.

1. Unplug the steam mop from the electrical outlet.
2. Use a small diameter stiff metal wire, such as a straightened metal paperclip, and carefully insert the end of the wire into the nozzle orifice. (fig. 16)

3. Move the wire back and forth several times to remove any deposits.
4. Plug the steam mop in to the power outlet and test steam output.

Troubleshooting Guide

should be securely plugged into a 120V AC 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 does not make steam, follow the decalcification instructions on page 9.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer care at 1-800-798-7398.
Cannot activate steam 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 CONTROL button to select a steam setting.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer care at 1-800-798-7398.
The Professional SLIM Steam Pocket® Mop leaves water on the floor.| Check to see if your micro-fiber cleaning pad is soaked through. We recommend you unplug the steam mop and change the micro-fiber cleaning pad.
Make sure the micro-fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.
The Professional SLIM 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 water tank door is closed securely.
There is a square block in my water tank.| Shark® provides in-tank water treatment media to help reduce scale build-up caused by hard water. The square you are seeing is the water treatment packet that will help minimize the build-up and calcification to extend the life of your mop. Shark® recommends you use distilled water to prevent hard water scaling to ensure the longevity and durability of your mop.
Floors are cloudy, streaky or spotty after steaming.| The micro-fiber cleaning pad might be dirty. Flip or change the cleaning pad.
If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent, then it may be damaged and require replacement. Replacement pads are available at 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 Steam 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 Professional SLIM Steam Pocket® Mop is hard to push.| Make sure the micro- fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the cleaning pad is excessively dirty. Replace if the cleaning pad is too dirty or wet.

CAN I USE OR ADD A CLEANING SOLUTION TO THE WATER TANK OR APPLY TO THE PADS?****

Shark Steam Mops are designed to deliver effective, chemical-free cleaning and sanitization with just ordinary tap water. Using any type of cleaning solution, perfumed oils or other chemical cleaner with your steam mop is not recommended. These products can have damaging affects to your steam mop and defeat the benefit of chemical-free cleaning. Do not use anything other than water in the unit. Shark recommends using distilled water in your steam mop. Shark’s water filtration bottle is also recommended to extend your mop’s life and reduce the potential build-up of hard water residue in the unit which may contribute to steam performance issues.

CLEANING TIPS****

1. Always sweep or vacuum floors prior to use to remove all lose dirt and debris from the floor surface.
2. Wash pads prior to first use to remove any loose lint that may have occurred in packaging or transport.
3. Select the appropriate steam setting for your cleaning needs: DUST- light steam for quick dusting; MOP – Normal everyday steam cleaning; SCRUB – Heavy cleaning (will leave floors damp) and for use with Carpet Glider.
4. Steam your floors with a forward and backward motion.
5. Cloudy/Streaky/Spotty after Cleaning? See Troubleshooting or Click here for “How-to” Video

PRODUCT CARE: PADS:****

Wash the pads with liquid detergent (not powder), as powder can leave a residue behind on the pad. Avoid use of bleach and fabric softeners when washing pads. Line dry or dry on a low dryer setting. For best pad performance, we recommend replacing pads every 2-3 months if pads are used and washed 3 or more times/week. Order on-line at www.sharkclean.com or call 1-800-798-7398.

PRODUCT CARE: MOP: DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP****

Calcification and mineral deposits can build up and impact the performance of your steam mop over time. We recommend using distilled water and/or Shark’s Water filtration bottle to extend the life of your steam mop. Order the Shark Water Filtration Bottle on-line at www.sharkclean.com or call 1-800-798-7398.

PRODUCT CARE: MOP: CLEANING THE NOZZLE****

Calcification and mineral deposits can build up and impact the performance of your steam mop over time. Your steam mop includes a nozzle cleaner for maintenance use. Consult the owner’s guide for full instructions on how to clean the nozzle of your mop. Should you misplace the nozzle cleaner, you may also use a small diameter, still metal wire such as a straightened metal paper clip to clean. To clean the nozzle, unplug mop head from unit. If recently used, make sure the unit is completely cooled before proceeding. Carefully insert the end of the wire into the nozzle orifice and move the wire back and forth several times, to removing any deposits from the orifice. Plug in appliance and test steam output.

HOW DO I TURN ON THE PRO STEAM POCKET?****

Once you have put water in the tank, plug the power cord into a 120 volt electrical outlet. The ON/STANDBY button will flash blue. Press the ON/STANDBY Button until the desired steam setting is selected. Press the ON/STANDBY once to select the Dust Steam Setting.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY STEAM MOP TO HEAT UP?****

The steam mop is ready to clean in about 30 seconds.

CAN THE CUSTOMER USE DETERGENT ON THE CLEANING AREA?****

The steam mop is designed to provide effective, chemical free cleaning without the use of cleaners or detergents. For further information on the use of cleaning solutions with Shark Steam mops, please reference ” Can I add a cleaning solution solution to the water tank or apply to the pads?”

WHY SHOULD THE PADS BE WASHED PRIOR TO USE?****

It is important to wash the pads in order to remove any loose lint or fibers from the pad that might have occurred in packaging or in transport. Pads should be washed with liquid detergent (not powder), as powder can leave a residue behind. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners as well. Dry pads on a low dryer setting or line dry.

HOW LONG WILL THE PADS LAST?****

Frequency of use, the type of cleaning (heavy/light) and how often the pads are washed and dried all determine the life of the pads and when new pads are required. Under normal household conditions, using the mop for routine cleaning a few times per week, we recommend new pads every 2-3 months.

HOW AND WHEN SHOULD I USE THE CARPET GLIDER?****

The Carpet Glider should be used with the all-purpose head to groom and freshen your carpet and area rugs by lightly applying steam to the carpet or rug fibers. To use, attach the Mop Head and place on the Carpet Glider attachment. Press the ON/STANDBY button three times to select the Scrub Steam Setting. When your mop is ready, steam carpets with a back and forth motion.
