31. This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for servicing of double-insulated appliances.

WARNING: Your Sonic Duo™ is designed to clean hard floor and carpet surfaces. Do not use on wood or tile floors that are highly worn, unfinished or have a wax or oil finish. Surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors may be damaged by the cleaning and polishing solutions therefore it is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. You should always check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer. Always check with the carpet manufacturer or distributer before using the Shark® Activating Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor Remover or the Low Moisture -No Rinse – Carpet Cleaner. To determine the colorfastness of any carpet -especially with reds or blues – take a clean, moist towel and gently rub a small area in an inconspicuous area. If color comes off the towel, you may need to have the carpets cleaned professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I noticed a rippling effect on the edges of my area rugs – should I be concerned?
A. Wool are rugs sometimes have a rippling effect on the edges after cleaning. This rippling will relax our after a few days of regular wear and usage.

Q. After using the Low Moisture –No Rinse- Carpet Cleaner, my carpet feels dry and crunchy – what can I do?
A. If your carpets feel crunchy, you likely used too much of the Low Moisture – No Rinse- Carpet Cleaner. The dry crunchy feeling will go away after a few days of normal wear and usage. Another pass vacuuming should also help break up the crunchy texture more quickly. To avoid this from happening again, we recommend using less solution on one specific area or a less concentrated dilution.

Q. How can I remove tough stains?
A. Be gin by treating the stain with the Activating Pretreater until fully saturated. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. Next, use a white cloth with a blunt object to blot up the stain. You will see the stain transfer from the carpet onto the white cloth. Continue to use fresh areas of the cloth as you blot up more and more of the stain. Never rub. Repeat as necessary.

IMPORTANT: When cleaning, do not use the Sonic Duo™ without attaching a Hard Floor Cleaning Pad and adding the diluted cleaning solution to the Reusable Bottle first. When polishing, do not use the Sonic Duo™ without attaching a Hard Floor Polishing Pad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. My Sonic Duo™ leaves a foam on hard floors.
A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad is likely too saturated. Replace it with a clean, dry pad.

Q. My floors appear cloudy after cleaning.
A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad may be dirty. Change the pad.

OR

A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad was washed with a powder detergent and may be damaged and require replacement. Never use powder detergents. Only use liquid detergent to launder the cleaning pads.

OR

A. The Sonic Duo™ may have been left in the same spot for too long with a wet cleaning pad. Never leave the unit with a wet pad in one spot for too long.

OR

A. This may be leftover from past cleaners that were used on the floor surface. Use the Sonic Duo™ a few more times and see if the leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water and letting it dry. 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 to 2 parts water. Then use the Sonic Duo™ again with a clean pad.

Q. How can I remove tough stains and tough dried on dirt.
A. To remove tough stains and dried on dirt, we recommend using the ScrubDuster™ tool with the Scrubbing Pad. Just attach the pad, extend the wand and clean away your toughest spots. (See page 9 for assembly.)

IMPORTANT: NEVER add the Sonic Activated Wood & Hard Floor Polish to the Reusable Bottle or run it through the Sonic Duo™ unit.

Polishing Your Hard Floors: (may not be included)

1. Vacuum the floor to remove all loose dirt, dust and grit from the floor surface. For best results, we recommend that you clean the floor using the Shark® Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner first and allow time to dry before polishing.

2. Attach the Hard Floor Polishing Pad to the bottom of the Sonic Duo™. This pad has a
“Orange” trim and the “Orange” tag says “Hard Floor Polishing Pad”. (Fig. 22)

3. Lightly step on the back of the scrubbing head to release the handle.

WARNING: Never stand on the Sonic Duo™.

4. Carefully, squirt a liberal amount of the Floor Polish onto an area of the floor to be polished and place the polishing pad over it before you start the unit. Make sure that the polishing pad is saturated and then squirt the polish in 5’x5’ sections. (Fig. 23)

5. Turn the On/Off button to “On (I Low)” setting. Always squirt the floor polish from a height of 6 inches above the floor to avoid splashing the polish over the floor. One bottle is enough to cover 425 square feet. (Fig. 24)

6. Use the Sonic Duo™ to spread the polish evenly over the floor. Do not go over an applied area too frequently. Always leave an area looking wet. If a section begins to look dry while polishing, add more Wood & Hard Floor Polish to the area. Repeat until the whole area has been polished.

7. When going from section to section, do not lift the Sonic Duo™ to move it, always slide it to the next section. No rinsing is required.

8. Allow the Wood & Hard Floor Polish to dry for at least 1 hour in light traffic areas and a complete 24 hours for the polish to cure before returning to heavy traffic areas.

9. When finished, turn the unit off and slide and lift the Sonic Duo™ to remove it from the area that was just polished. Lay the Sonic Duo ™ on its side and remove the Hard Floor Polishing Pad by hand. (Fig. 25)

NOTE: Depending on the amount of traffic your floors sustain, Shark® recommends polishing every 2 months. Touch up high traffic areas as needed in- between full floor polishes.

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. Do not use on wood or tile floors that are highly worn, unfinished or have a wax or oil finish. Surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors may be damaged by the cleaning and polishing solutions therefore it is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned or polished before proceeding. You should check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer before cleaning or polishing.

IMPORTANT: Do not use more than one brand of floor polish to polish one room. Use only Shark® Wood & Hard Floor Polish.

Frequently Asked Questions (may not be included):

A. You should add more polish to any problem areas during polishing. Always leave the area looking very wet, never dry.

Q. I accidentally ran the Shark® Wood & Hard Floor Polish through the Sonic Duo™ and now it is not working properly.
A. Shark® Wood & Hard Floor Polish should always be squirted directly onto the floor . If it was run through the unit, you need to flush it out immediately. Fill the Reusable Bottle with warm water and spray it through the system to flush it. Then turn and remove the tip of the nozzle to clean it. (Fig. 26) Call Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398 for additional assistance if necessary.

General Tips:

• Change the Wood & Hard Floor Cleaning Pad frequently for best results.
• Always vacuum floors and carpets before cleaning or polishing.
• If you notice any uneven areas or streaking, DO NOT go over the same area with more polish if the floor has begun to dry. Wait until the floor polish has totally dried for approximately a day before going over it again with more polish.
• Never lift the Sonic Duo up at the end of a section of flooring that has been polished. Always slide the unit off the floor and then remove the pad.
• When polishing, you should always leave each section looking wet, never dry, before going to the next section.
• Try the Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor Remover to eliminate your toughest stains. Just spray the solution onto the stain until saturated, allow 5-10 minutes to set and then blot up the stain with a white cloth or towel. Never scrub the stain, only blot.
