TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR
STEAM MOP.

DANGER OF SCALDING.

Please use caution when
using the steam mop. The steam
emitted from the steam mop is
very hot.

POLARIZED PLUG:

This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to

defeat this safety feature.

1. Use the system only for its
intended use.

2. DO NOT use outdoors.

3. DO NOT leave the appliance
unattended when plugged in.
Always unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet when not
in use and before servicing.

4. DO NOT allow the appliance to be
used by children. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.

5. Use only as described in this
manual.

6. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended accessories.

7. DO NOT use with damaged
cord or plug. If appliance is not
working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water. Return the
appliance to EURO-PRO Operating
LLC for examination and repair.
Incorrect re-assembly or repair
can cause a risk of electrical shock
or injury to persons when the
appliance is used.

8. To protect against a risk of electric
shock, DO NOT immerse the steam
mop into water or any other liquids.

9. DO NOT handle plug or steam
mop with wet hands or operate

11. DO NOT unplug by pulling on
power cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug not the power cord. Do not
use extension cords or outlets
with inadequate current carrying
capacity.

12. DO NOT put any objects into
openings. Do not use with any
opening that is blocked.

13. DO NOT put hands or feet under
the steam mop. Unit gets very hot.

14. In mop mode use ONLY on flat,
horizontal surfaces. Do not use on
walls, counters or windows.

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

16. 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. If
you live in a hard water area, we
recommend using distilled water in
your steam mop.

17. When in use, NEVER turn the
appliance over or on its side.

NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS
PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.

18. NEVER LEAVE THE STEAM MOP
IN ONE SPOT ON ANY SURFACE
FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME WHEN
MICRO-FIBER PAD IS ATTACHED
AS THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR
FLOORS.

19. Carefully remove the micro-fiber
cleaning pad immediately after you
have unplugged and allowed the
steam mop to cool.

20. When cleaning the steam mop,
unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and clean with a
dry or damp cloth. Do not pour
water or use alcohol, benzene or
paint thinner on the unit.

21. Extreme caution should be
exercised when using this
appliance to clean stairs.

22. Never use steam mop without
micro-fiber cleaning pad attached.

23. Keep your work area well lit.

24. Store steam mop indoors in a cool,
dry place.

25. To avoid circuit overload, do not
operate another appliance on the
same socket (circuit) as the steam
cleaner.

26. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, an extension cord rated
a minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gage
cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange
cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

27 Always unplug and allow the steam

mop to cool before removing or
changing mop heads.

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.

pad while the mop is plugged into
the wall. To prolong the life of
your Shark® Lift-Away™ Pro Steam

appliance and could be unsafe for
you and your family.
