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.

IMPORTANT: First things first, always

make sure the mop is UNPLUGGED
from the wall when not in use. Never
fill the mop, attach the mop head,
change or remove the microfibre
pocket when the mop is plugged into
the wall. If you have hard water you
might want to use distilled water to
prolong the life of the Shark® Steam
Mop. 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.

1 Turn the water tank cap counter

clockwise and remove from the tank.

Use the filling flask and pour water

into the tank. Please don’t overfill.
Replace the cap on the water tank by
turning clockwise and tightening.

2 Select a mop head and cleaning

pad. Each mop head can be used
on your floors. The Triangle Mop
Head was specifically designed to
reach into those tight corners and
spaces, especially those found in
the bathroom. The Rectangle Mop
Head is completely versatile. Use
the lavender loop on the side of the
microfibre cleaning pocket to place
around the mop head. Then attach
the quick fasteners on the top of the
pocket to secure in place.

www.sharkclean.co.uk

You can also use the loop to pull the
dirty pocket off when you are done
mopping after it has cooled.

3 Snap the mop head into the base to

secure it.

IMPORTANT: Don’t 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
recommend that you check the use
and care instructions from the floor
manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you don’t

use the mop without attaching a
microfibre pocket and adding water
to the tank first. When you are
using the mop for the first time, it
might take longer than the normal
30 seconds to start steaming. Just
pump the handle a few times in a
downward motion to prime the
pump and it should be ready.

1

Note: Plug

supplied may
vary depending
on region.

2

NOTE: Make sure the floors are

swept or vacuumed before using the
steam mop.

1 Pull and twist the quick release cord

holder to unwrap the power cord
completely. A great time saver!

Plug into a 220 -240-volt electrical

outlet. The power “On” light will
turn blue, it takes approximately 30
seconds for the mop to heat up and
the steam to be ready.

2 Pump the handle a few times in a

downward motion. This pumping
action will release steam as you
mop and allows you to customise
the amount of steam you want.
Begin mopping with a forward
and backward motion. The natural
motion of mopping will produce
steam.

3 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.

4 When one side of the microfibre

pocket gets dirty, just flip the mop
head and you can quickly start using
the other side. Dirt can’t hide on
either side.

IMPORTANT: Please wait 3-5 minutes

for the Steam Mop to cool off before
switching the mop head or the
microfibre pockets.

6

www.sharkclean.co.uk

5 When the water tank is empty, the

steam mop will stop producing
steam. You can refill the water tank
at any time as long as the mop is
unplugged from the outlet. Follow
the instructions from page 3. This
goes for switching the mop heads or
microfibre pockets as well.

IMPORTANT: Never leave the steam

mop with a damp/wet microfibre
pocket on any floor surface for any
amount of time as this may damage
the floor.

The Steam Mop won’t clean
your carpeting or area
rugs. However, it’s great for
deodorising and freshening.

THE CARPET GLIDER

1 The Carpet Glider can be used with

the rectangle mop head to lightly
steam your carpet and area rugs.
Just place the mop head on top
of the glider and move back and
forth across a section of the carpet.
The steam mop won’t clean your
carpeting or areas rugs, but it’s great
for deodorising and freshening.

NOTE: Please note that the Steam

Mop rests on top of the carpet glider
and it is not a fixed attachment.
Do not leave steam mop with carpet
glider in one stationary position for
any period of time.

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

1 When you have finished using the

steam mop, and your floors are clean,
unplug the cord from the outlet and
move it into an upright position. Let
the unit cool 2-3 minutes and release
steam by pumping the handle several
times before removing the microfibre
cleaning pocket from the mop head.

2 Remove the microfibre cleaning

pocket by releasing the quick
fasteners and using the lavender
loop on the side of the pocket,
avoiding contact with the hot pocket
or dirt. Then empty the water tank.

IMPORTANT: Be very careful

because the cleaning pockets can
get very hot from the steam, so use
caution when removing them. Let
the unit cool 2-3 minutes.

3 To store the Shark

hanging up; first remove the head
(after it has cooled and the steam
has been released) then hang on a
large hook.

NOTE: If you want to store it

standing upright then make sure
it’s leaning against a wall for added
support and safety. Always store
your Steam Mop with the microfibre
pocket removed, away from children
or high traf fic areas.

KEEPING YOUR MICROFIBRE

Your steam activated microfibre

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.
