IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

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.

4. DO NOT use outdoors.

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.

7. DO NOT allow to be used by children.
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

WHEN USING YOUR SHARK®
PORTABLE STEAM CLEANER, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING
THE FOLLOWING:

WARNING: READ ALL

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR
PORTABLE STEAM CLEANER.

DANGER OF SCALDING

Please use caution when using the
steam bottle directly or with the hose and
tool attachments. The steam emitted is very

hot.

IMPORTANT:

This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

This appliance is fitted with a UK 13 amp
plug. Do not attempt to use with a damaged
or faulty plug.

WARNING: Your portable

steam cleaner is designed to clean hard
surfaces that will withstand high heat. Do
not use on unsealed wood or unglazed
ceramic surfaces. On surfaces that have been
treated with wax 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 for the surface that you are

cleaning.

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 attached, the
moisture may cause surface damage.

13. When cleaning the portable steam 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.

q. Store your appliance indoors in a cool,

dry area.

Quick Start

ASSEMBLY

1 Safely remove contents of the portable

steam cleaner cleaning system and lay
them out on a flat surface to see that you
have all the components to complete the
assembly. (Refer to page 2.)

FILL

2 Turn the water tank cap anti clockwise

and remove to fill, using the filling flask
provided. Be careful not to overfill. Replace
the cap by turning clockwise. The water
tank does not have to be completely full for
the steam bottle to generate steam. Steam
will stop when the water tank is empty.
You can refill at any time.

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.
