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.

Quick Start

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® Steam Mop.

Quick Start

DIRT CAN’T HIDE ON
EITHER SIDE! All new

design allows for optimal
cleaning! When one side
of the pocket gets dirty,
just turn the mop head
over and clean with the
other side of the pocket.

ASSEMBLE

1 Insert the mop handle into the

pump actuator (the tube that leads
to the tank). Push the mop handle
and pump actuator together in
until you hear it click into place.

2 Select a mop head and cleaning

pad. Fit one side of the pocket
onto the head first, then using
the lavender loop, pull the pocket
over the head. Attach the quick
fasteners on the top of the pocket
to secure in place.

3 Snap the mop head into the base to

secure it. Press the release button
to exchange mop heads.

FILL

4 Lay the mop on the floor or on

a counter top and remove the
water tank cap by turning counter
clockwise. Fill the water tank using
the filling flask. Do not overfill the
water tank. Replace the water cap
and tighten.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your floors

are sealed. Before using the Steam
Mop consult page 3 for more
information.

PREPARE

5 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 latch to
locked position.

6 Plug in mop and wait 30 seconds

or less for the mop to heat up.
Pump the handle of the mop by
pushing downward about 10 to 12
times to create steam.

NOTE: Steam is created

automatically when you start
mopping.

QUICK TIPS: We’ve added an

additional mop head. You can
now choose from a Rectangle
mop head for all the rooms in your
house or the Triangle mop head
that is perfect for bathrooms and
tight spaces.

NOTE: Do not leave your Steam

Mop unattended during use.

IMPORTANT: Never leave the

steam mop in one spot for any
period of time with a damp or wet
micro-fiber pocket attached as
this will damage your floors.
