WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY:

1. USE THE SYSTEM ONLY FOR ITS
INTENDED USE AS DESCRIBED IN
THIS MANUAL.

2. ONLY USE WATER. To extend the life
of your portable steam cleaner, we
recommend using distilled water. If you
live in an area with hard tap water, we
recommend using distilled water.

3. 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. Use of any
substances other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories will
automatically void your warranty.

5. DO NOT leave the appliance
unattended when plugged in.

6. Always unplug the power cord from
the electrical outlet when not in use,
when filling the water tank and before
servicing.

Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children, pets or plants.

8. DO NOT put any objects into openings
or operate with any opening blocked.

9. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished
furniture or floors, painted surfaces,
synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other
delicate, steam sensitive materials.

10. Carefully remove the all purpose
scrubber pad immediately after you
have unplugged and allowed the
portable steam cleaner to cool.

11. Always unplug and allow the portable
steam cleaner to cool before removing
cleaning fabric or changing cleaning
tools and hose.

12. NEVER store the appliance with a
damp/wet scrubbing pad attached.
If left in a single spot for a period of
time with a damp/wet scrubbing pad

cleaner, unplug the power cord and
clean with a dry or damp cloth. Do not
pour water or use alcohol, benzene or
paint thinner on the unit.

14. NEVER use the flat scrubber tool
without the all purpose scrubbing pad
attached.

15. To protect against a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:

a. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT

operate another appliance on the
same socket (circuit) as the portable
steam cleaning system.

b. DO NOT immerse any part of the

system in water or other liquids.

c. Liquid or steam must not be directed

towards equipment containing
electrical components, such as the
interior of ovens.

d. DO NOT pull power cord to

disconnect from outlet; instead,
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

e. DO NOT use extension cords or

outlets with inadequate current
carrying capacity.

f. DO NOT operate the appliance with

a damaged plug or cord, or if the
unit has been dropped or damaged.
To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the appliance on your own. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified electrician
in order to avoid a hazard. Incorrect
re-assembly or repair can cause a
risk of electrical shock or injury to
persons when the appliance is used.

g. DO NOT disassemble or attempt to

repair the steam cleaner. Incorrect
reassembly or repair can cause a
risk of electrical shock or injury to
persons when the steam cleaner is
used.

h. DO NOT handle plug or portable

steam cleaner with wet hands or
operate without shoes.

i. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord,

power cord as a handle, close a door
on the power cord, or pull the power
cord around sharp corners or edges.

j. DO NOT allow power cord to touch

hot surfaces.

k. ALWAYS disconnect system from

electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying and when not in
use.

l. NEVER attempt to fill this unit under

a water faucet. Always use the filling
flask that is provided.

m. NEVER turn the appliance over or

on its side when in use.

n. NEVER aim or direct steam towards

people, animals, or plants. The
steam is very hot and can cause
burns. Burns can occur from
touching hot metal parts, hot water,
steam or scrubbing pads.

o. DO NOT operate the steam cleaner

while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.

p. DO NOT operate in the presence of

explosive and/or flammable fumes.

INSTRUCTIONS

Quick Start

Your Shark® portable steam cleaner 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.

When assembling your portable steam cleaner, there may be a little water in the water tank. This
is because we test all our portable steam cleaning systems 100% before you buy them, so you get
a quality Shark

®

steam product.
