WHEN USING YOUR SHARK
STEAM MOP, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
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 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. Return the appliance
to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see
warranty) 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
appliance without shoes.
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power
cord, use power cord as handle,
close a door on the power cord, or
pull the power cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep power cord
away from heated surfaces.

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 blocked.
13. DO NOT put hands or feet under
the steam mop. Unit gets very hot.
14. 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 POCKET IS
ATTACHED.
19. Carefully remove the micro-fiber
pocket 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 pocket 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. DO NOT leave your Steam Mop
unattended when the system is
connected to a power supply
/electrical outlet.
28. DO NOT store unit with damp/
wet micro-fiber cleaning pocket
attached. Never leave the steam
mop in one spot on any surface for
any period of time with a damp or
wet micro-fiber cleaning pocket
attached as this will damage
your floors.
29 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.

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 micro-fiber
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.

Using Your Steam Mop
IMPORTANT: Make sure you don’t
use the mop without attaching
a micro-fiber 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.
2 Pump the handle a few times in a
downward motion. This pumping
action will release steam as you
mop and allows you to customize
the amount of steam you want.
Begin mopping with a forward
and backward motion. The natural
motion of mopping will produce
steam.
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 120-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.

3 When one side of the micro-fiber
pocket gets dirty, just flip the mop
head and you can quickly start using
the other side. Dirt cant hide on
either side.
IMPORTANT: Please wait 3-5 minutes
for the Steam Mop to cool off before
switching the mop head or the
micro-fiber pockets.
4 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
micro-fiber pockets as well.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the steam
mop with a damp/wet micro-fiber
pocket on any floor surface for any
amount of time as this may damage
the floor.

Using Your Carpet Glider
THE CARPET GLIDER
1 The Carpet Glider can be used with
the Rectangle 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 deodorizing
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.

Care of Your Steam Mop
2 Remove the micro-fiber 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® Steam Mop
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 micro-fiber
pocket removed, away from children
or high traffic areas.
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 micro-fiber
cleaning pocket from the mop head.
