WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR SHARK EASY SPRAY™ STEAM MOP DELUXE.

DANGER OF SCALDING.
Please use caution when using the steam mop. The steam emitted from the openings is very hot.

POLARIZED PLUG:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
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.

CAUTION:
Keep all Shark® branded cleaners out of the reach of children.
Eye irritant. Should some of the Shark® branded cleaners be rubbed or splashed into the eyes, wash out thoroughly with water. If irritation continues, contact a physician.
In case of ingestion, drink 16 FL. oz. (2 cups) of water.

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 the appliance to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children, pets or plants.
5. CAUTION – Shock Hazard. To provide continued protection against shock, disconnect from power supply when not in use.
6. Use only as described in this manual.
7. Use only manufacturer’s recommended accessories.
8. DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, 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.
9. To protect against a risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the steam mop into water or any other liquids.
10. DO NOT handle plug or steam mop with wet hands or operate appliance without shoes.
11. 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.

13. DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked.
14. DO NOT put hands or feet under the steam mop. Unit gets very hot.
15. Use ONLY on flat, stable horizontal surfaces. Do not use on walls, counters, windows, chairs or tables.
16. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics, velvet or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
17. DO NOT use for space heating purposes.
18. 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.
19. When in use, NEVER turn the appliance over or on its side. NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
20. Carefully remove the SaniFiber™ disposable pad immediately after you have unplugged and allowed the product to cool.

24. Never use steam mop without a SaniFiber™ disposable 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 cleaner.
28. 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.
29. DO NOT leave unattended when the system is connected to a power supply or electrical outlet. Turn off all controls before unplugging the unit.
30. DO NOT store unit with a damp or wet SaniFiber™ disposable pad attached. Never leave the steam mop in one spot on any surface for any period of time with a damp or wet SaniFiber™ disposable pad attached as this will damage your floors.

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.

Getting Started

When assembling your steam mop there may be a little water in or around the water tank. This is because we test all our steam mops 100% before you buy them, so you get a quality Shark Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe.

b. Lower Extension Tube (Telescopic)
c. Steam Mop Base
d. Shark Steam Energized™ Multi-Floor Cleanser

Getting Started

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. Visitwww.sharkclean.com to order.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

IMPORTANT: Unplug the Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe before filling the water tank with water.

1. Remove the water tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise to the unlocked position. (fig. 5)

2. A filling flask is included with your Steam Mop to make filling the water tank easy. Fill the flask with water and pour it into the tank. Keep the water level under the MAX’ fill line.

3. Replace the water tank cap and turn it clockwise to the locked position.

Using Your Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe

When you use your steam mop for the first time or if you have not used the unit in awhile, it may take a minute or two for the water to travel through the pump and into the heater to create steam. Get it started by pumping the handle a few times. If you have waited a few minutes and you still do not see any steam, reference the troubleshooting section on page 10.

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

Sweep or vacuum your floors prior to cleaning with your Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe.
Visit www.sharkclean.com for other great quick cleaning products to complement your Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe, such as the Shark® Rotator™ vacuums.

1. Pull and twist the quick release cord holder to unwrap the power cord completely. (fig. 6) Plug into an electrical outlet. The LED light will turn blue. If the light does not turn on, reference the troubleshooting section on page 10. (fig. 7)

If your Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe stops steaming, it could be out of water. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and refill the water tank at anytime.

Using the Steam Energized™ Cleanser:

2. Select the Shark Steam Energized™ Multi-Floor Cleanser or the Shark Steam Energized™ Wood Floor Cleanser depending on the type of floor being cleaned and spray the surface. (fig. 8)

3. Wait 30 seconds for the boiler to heat the water. Pump the handle a few times to prime the pump, activate steam and moisten the SaniFiber™ disposable pad. (fig. 9)

4. Mop with a forward and backward motion to customize steam output automatically. (fig. 10)

IMPORTANT: Never leave the Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe with a damp/wet SaniFiber™ disposable pad on any floor surface for any amount of time as this may damage the floor.

5. When not using the cleanser, clip the spray bottle to the handle of the steam mop.
(fig. 11) The spray bottle will stay secure during mop usage.

Care of Your Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

1. When you have finished using the Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe, unplug the cord from the outlet and place the mop into the upright position (fig. 12) and let the unit cool 3-5 minutes. Release steam by pumping the handle several times.

2. Carefully separate SaniFiber™ disposable pad from steam mop, avoiding contact with the hot pad or dirt.

3. Empty the water tank before storage. Remove the water tank cap and empty the tank over a sink. Replace the water cap.

Troubleshooting

securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.  Check your fuse or breaker.
If your unit still does not work, call 1-800-798-7398.
Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe will not make steam.| Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your steam mop following instructions on page 5.
Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe leaves water on the floor.| Do not leave the steam mop on the floor with a damp cleaning pad. If you are using tap water, we recommend switching to distilled water. Make sure that the cap is securely placed on the water tank.
Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe left white spot on the floor.| Check to see if the cleaning pad is soaked through. We recommend that you unplug the unit and replace the cleaning pad.
Make sure that the cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Floors are cloudy, streaky or spotty after steaming.| The cleaning pad may be dirty. Change the cleaning pad.
The steam mop may have been left in one spot for too long.
This may be left over from past cleaners used on the floor surface. Use the steam mop a few more times again with a clean pad and see if the 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 mixture of one part vinegar and two parts water.
Easy Spray™ Steam Mop Deluxe is hard to push.| Make sure the SaniFiber™ disposable pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the SaniFiber™ disposable pad is excessively dirty. Replace if the disposable pad is too dirty or wet.
