a little water in or around the water tank. This is

YOUR SHARK® STEAM MOP IS

EASY TO ASSEMBLE

1 First remove all the parts from the package.

We know you’re excited about the Shark
Steam Mop, but don’t plug it in until it’s fully
assembled and you’ve read all of the following
instructions.

2 Slide the upper extension tube (the tube with the

handle) into the lower extension tube (the short
tube). Push the two extension tubes together
until you hear it click into place. See illustration
for a visual explanation.

®

3 Insert the pieces you assembled in Step 2 into

the pump actuator (the tube that leads to the
tank). Push the extension tube assembly and
pump actuator together in until you hear it click
into place. Insert cord into cord clip on the shaft
of the steam-mop.

IMPO RTAN T: Always make sure that your Steam

Mop is unplugged from the wall before you
attach the microfibre cleaning pad.

Always attach the cleaning pad to the mop

1

head or you may scratch your floor surface.

The water tank cap has an arrow to indicate
the locked and unlocked position.

PLACING THE MICROFIBRE CLEANING PAD

1 Place the microfibre cleaning pad underneath

the mop head, with the quick fastener strips
facing up. Simply press the pad on to the Steam
Mop.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you only add water to
the tank. Chemicals or cleaning solution may
damage the appliance and could be unsafe for
you and your family.

4 Freephone: 08 00 862 0453 5www.sharkclean.eu/uk

NOTE: Don’t be alarmed if the first time you use

your Steam Mop, you notice water inside the
water tank or drops of water in the packaging.
It’s normal to see this water. Your Steam Mop
was 100% tested in the factory to ensure your
safety and your floor’s happiness. If you see
water in the unit, it’s from these tests.

To order additional microfibre pads, feel free to

contact us at: Freephone 0800 862 0453.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

IMPORTANT: Before you fill up the tank, make

sure your Steam Mop is unplugged from the
wall.

1 First, remove the water tank cap by turning it

counter clockwise to the unlocked position. See
illustration for a visual explanation.

2 The filling flask included with your Steam Mop

makes filling the water tank as simple as getting
a glass of water from the sink. Fill the flask with
water and pour it into the tank. Be sure to keep
the water under the “MA X FILL” line; just one
flask of water is enough for your Steam Mop.
See illustration for a visual explanation.

3 Replace the water tank cap by turning it

clockwise to the locked position.

Using Your Steam Mop

Now comes the part you’ve been waiting for – it’s
time to use your steam mop. When you use your

1

steam mop for the first time or haven’t used the unit
in awhile, it may take a minute or two for the water
to make its way through the pump and into the
heater to create steam. Get it started by pumping the
handle a few times. If you’ve waited a few minutes
and you still don’t see any steam, reference the
troubleshooting section on page 9.

3

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

4

2

IMPORTANT: Your Steam Mop needs water to

make steam! Never use your Steam Mop without
water in the tank.

Sweep or vacuum your floors before using your

Steam Mop. Your Steam Mop was designed to
get rid of stuck-on gunk, grime, paw/footprints
and it will do a better job if yesterday’s cereal
crumbs aren’t in the way.

6 Freephone: 08 00 862 0453 7www.sharkclean.eu/uk

1

Pull and twist the quick release cord holder to
unwrap the power cord completely. Plug into an
electrical outlet. The LED light around the Shark
logo will turn on. Success! If your light doesn’t
turn on reference the Troubleshooting section on
page 9.

2 For your comfort, you can adjust the height

of the mop. Just lift the latch on the tube 90
degrees to the open position. Holding the
handle, extend the tube to the height that’s right
for you and then close the latch to the locked
position.

®

3 It takes about 30 seconds for the steam to get

going. Now pump the handle a few times to
prime the pump and activate steam.

4 Mop with a forward and backward motion to

customise steam output automatically.

QUICK TIP: If you find the Steam Mop difficult

to push/pull during use, then simply increase the
height of the pole.

IMPORTANT: When your floors are sparkling

clean and you’re finished with your Steam Mop,
unplug it from the electrical outlet and carefully
remove the microfibre cleaning pad from the
mop head. Always remove the microfibre
cleaning pad from the mop head when you
have finished using your Steam Mop to avoid
damage to your floors. The steam will make
your microfibre cleaning pad very hot. You may
want to wait a couple of minutes to let it cool off
before you remove it.

Care of Your Steam Mop

Trouble Shooting

KEEPING YOUR MICROFIBRE CLEANING PAD

AS GOOD AS NEW

Your steam activated cleaning pad works

wonders for you, so return the favour by giving it
the care it deserves.

1 Wash pad in warm water. Wash separately from

other laundry.

Only use liquid detergent (no powder detergent).

Don’t use any fabric softeners.

Line dry. Do not tumble dry.

2 If there are loose threads on the pad carefully

cut the thread with scissors. Don’t pull on them
or cut at the base.

Always remove the microfibre cleaning pad
from the Steam Mop head when you store
your Steam Mop to avoid damage to your
floors.

KEEPING YOUR STEAM MOP IN TIP-TOP

SHAPE

If you love your Steam Mop, let it show. Caring

for your Steam Mop and properly storing it
means you’ll get the same super steam action
you expect each time you use it.

IMPORTANT: Both your Steam Mop and the

water inside it can get very hot, so let it cool
down completely before you store it.

IMPORTANT: Always store the Steam Mop in a

safe place away from children and high traffic
areas.

NOTE: It’s a good idea to use distilled water in

your tank to help prolong the life of your Steam
Mop, especially if you live in an area with hard
water.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

The Steam Mop will not
turn-on.

Steam Mop will not make
steam.

Steam Mop leaves water
on the floor.

Steam Mop left white
spot on the floor.

Floors are cloudy, streaky
or spotty after steaming.

Steam Mop is hard to
push.

Your steam-mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.

Check your fuse or breaker.

Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your Steam Mop
following instructions.

Is your cleaning pad too wet? Why don’t you unplug your Steam Mop and
change the cleaning pad.

Don’t leave your steam-mop on the floor with a damp or wet cleaning pad.

Do you have hard water? If you do you might want to switch to distilled water.

The cleaning pad might be dirty, change the pad.

If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent then the pad might
have residual detergent left on it. Wash it again with liquid detergent.

If you are cleaning in a kitchen area where there might be a build-up of grease
then use a de-greasing agent such as an all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and
paper towels to clean the area first.

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.

Make sure the microfibre cleaning pad is on properly.

If you find the Steam Mop difficult to push/pull during use, then simply
increase the height of the pole.
