6 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 5. This applies to
switching the mop head or the cleaning pocket
as well.

NOTE: Please wait 2-3 minutes for the Steam

Mop to cool off before switching the mop head
or the cleaning pocket. Never leave the Steam
Mop with a damp/wet pocket on any floor.

Using Your Carpet Glider

THE CARPET GLIDER

www.lakeland.co.uk

Your Shark® Lift-Away™ Pro Steam Pocket®
Mop is designed to clean surfaces that
will withstand high heat and moisture.
Do not use on unsealed wood surfaces
(especially wooden antique furniture),
unglazed ceramic tile, painted surfaces
or surfaces that have been treated with
wax, oils, varnishes, or shellac. The sheen
may be removed by the heat, steam, and
friction of the cleaning tools. Lacquer and
polyurethane coatings provide a hard
durable protective finish that withstands
moisture, but it is always recommended to
test an isolated area of the surface to be
cleaned before proceeding.

We also recommend you check the use
and care instructions from the surface
manufacturer.

When cleaning finished wood surfaces,
use broad, continuous cleaning strokes. To
prevent surface damage, avoid focusing
steam or allowing the cleaning tools to sit
in one spot for any amount of time.

Getting Started With Your
Removable Handheld Steamer

1 To remove the Handheld Steamer, press and

hold down the Handheld Release Buttons while
pulling out the Handheld Steamer. (fig. 15)

fig. 15

11

www.lakeland.co.uk

Cleaning Tip: The Direct Steam Nozzle creates direct steam spray to clean and sanitise
hard to reach nooks & crannies and other places where germs may build up. Use the
Direct Steam Nozzle to loosen and dislodge compact dirt often found in corner and tight
places where traditional methods and cleaning tools tend to push dirt into, making it
tough to reach and clean. Spray direct steam and wipe clean with a wet cloth or paper
towel.

CAUTION: Do not press the steam trigger

while removing the Direct Steam Nozzle. Avoid
touching the tip of the Direct Steam Nozzle, as
this will be very hot after steaming.

NOTE: The Handheld Steamer may continue to

emit steam for a few seconds after the trigger is
released. This is normal, and the steaming will
eventually come to a stop.

FOR SPOT CLEANING AND STEAMING

2 Remove the Direct Stream Nozzle from the

storage clip on the mop handle and attach it by

Tool can loosen and dislodge compact dirt often found in corners and tight places where
traditional methods and cleaning tools tend to push dirt into, making it difficult to reach
and clean. Scrub with the Crevice Tool and wipe clean with a cleaning cloth.

1 Attach the Crevice Tool by snapping into the

handle of the Accessory Hose. (fig. 19)

DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP

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.

CARE OF YOUR CLEANING POCKETS

1 We recommend washing your cleaning pocket

separately from other fabrics to avoid picking up
lint. For optimal cleaning performance pockets

may need to be washed up to (3) three times.

Only use liquid detergent (no powder
detergent). Do not use any fabric
softeners or bleach. Line dry. Do not tumble
dry. (fig. 32)

2 If there are loose threads on the cleaning pocket

carefully cut the thread with scissors. Do not pull
on them or cut at the base.(fig. 33)

IMPORTANT: The cleaning pocket may be very

hot from the steam. Use caution when removing.
Let the unit cool for 2-3 minutes.

fig. 32

fig. 33

fig. 34

CLEANING THE NOZZLE

NOTE: To prevent clogging, it is recommended

that you periodically clean the Direct Steam
Nozzle and the extension hose stem with the
cleaning tool provided or a paper clip.

1 Your Handheld Steamer should not normally

require cleaning, however, should you notice
a decrease in the steam output, it may be
necessary to remove mineral deposits built up
around the nozzles.

2 Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet.

3 Use the provided nozzle cleaner or a small

diameter stiff metal wire, such as a straightened
metal paperclip, and carefully insert the end of
the wire into the nozzle orifice. See illustration
above. (fig. 34)

4 Move the wire back and forth several times to

remove any deposits.

5 Plug in the appliance to the power outlet and

test steam output.

Troubleshooting Guide

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

Check your fuse or breaker.

If your unit still does not work,

give us a call at: Freephone 0800 862 0453.

Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your steam mop
following instructions on page 5.

If the unit still does not make steam, follow the instructions on page 17 to
clean the nozzle.

Check to see if your cleaning pocket is too wet. We recommend you unplug
the steam mop and change the cleaning pocket.

Make sure the cleaning pocket is attached correctly.

If you have already plugged in your unit, unplug and try a different outlet.
This may reset the standby mode.

Add water to the tank and select steam setting by pressing the standby
button.

If your unit still does not work,

give us a call at: Freephone 0800 862 0453.

Do not leave your steam mop on the floor with a damp or wet cleaning
pocket.

If you’re using tap water, we recommend switching to distilled water.

Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.

The cleaning pocket might be dirty. Flip or change the cleaning pocket.

If you washed the cleaning pocket with powder detergent, then your pocket
could be damaged and require replacement.

This could also be an indication of prior soap or grease residue that has
accumulated on the floor. As our steam mops use only a small amount of
water, it may not be wet enough to rinse off the accumulation that the
steam is bringing to the surface. We suggest rinsing the floor with nothing
but water, letting it dry, and then steam mopping again with a clean pocket.
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 and two parts water.

Make sure the cleaning pocket is attached correctly.

Check to see if the cleaning pocket is excessively dirty. If so, replace the
cleaning pocket.
