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.

branded cleaners and polishes be rubbed or
splashed into the eyes, wash out thoroughly
with water. If irritation continues, contact a

19. DO NOT add any cleaning solutions in
the Shark® Sonic Duo™ Pro other than
Shark®’s Low Moisture - No Rinse - Carpet
Cleaner and Hard Floor Cleaner. The Hard Floor
Polish should never be run through the Sonic

appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the
Sonic Duo™ Pro.
30. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an
extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere,
14 gauge 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.
31. This appliance is provided with double
insulation. Use only identical replacement parts.
See instructions for servicing of double-insulated
appliances.

WARNING: Your Sonic Duo

™
Pro is
designed to clean hard floor and carpet surfaces.
Do not use on wood or tile floors that are highly
worn, unfinished or have a wax or oil finish.
Surfaces that have been treated with wax or
some no wax floors may be damaged by the
cleaning and polishing solutions therefore it is
always recommended to test an isolated area
of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.
You should always check the use and care
instructions from the floor manufacturer.
Always check with the carpet manufacturer or
distributer before using the Shark® Activating
Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor Remover or
the Low Moisture -No Rinse - Carpet Cleaner.
To determine the colorfastness of any carpet
-especially with reds or blues - take a clean,
moist towel and gently rub a small area in an
inconspicuous area. If color comes off the towel,
you may need to have the carpets cleaned
professionally.

SPOT & STAIN CLEANING

Please note that not all carpets react to the Sonic

more time and cleaning solution than others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Step 1:

1. Vacuum the stained or discolored area to remove
any loose dirt, dust, or debris that may have
accumulated in your carpet.
Step 2:
2. Begin by pretreating the stain with the
Activating Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor
Remover until the stain or discoloration is fully
saturated.
3. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
4. Use a white cloth with a blunt object to blot up
the stain.
5. You will see the stain begin to transfer from the
carpet onto the white cloth.
6. Continue to use fresh areas of the white cloth as
you blot up more and more of the stain.
7. Never rub.
8. Repeat as necessary.
Visit www.sharkclean.com for other great quick
cleaning products to complement your Sonic Duo™
Pro, such as the Shark® Rotator™ vacuums.

Q. I noticed a rippling effect on the edges of my area
rugs – should I be concerned?
A. W
ool are rugs sometimes have a rippling
effect on the edges after cleaning. This
rippling will relax our after a few days of
regular wear and usage.

Q. After using the Low Moisture –No Rinse- Carpet
Cleaner, my carpet feels dry and crunchy – what
can I do?

A. If your carpets feel crunchy, you likely used
too much of the Low Moisture – No RinseCarpet Cleaner. The dry crunchy feeling will
go away after a few days of normal wear
and usage. Another pass vacuuming should
also help break up the crunchy texture more
quickly. To avoid this from happening again,
we recommend using less solution on one
specific area or a less concentrated dilution.

Q. How can I remove tough stains?
A. Begin by treating the stain with the Activating
Pretreater until fully saturated. Let sit for 5-10
minutes. Next, use a white cloth with a blunt
object to blot up the stain. You will see the
stain transfer from the carpet onto the white
cloth. Continue to use fresh areas of the cloth
as you blot up more and more of the stain.
Never rub. Repeat as necessary.

5 to 10 seconds until you see the solution come
out.
6 Lightly step on the back of the scrubbing head
to release the handle and move the agitating

Pro with a damp/wet cleaning pad on any floor
surface for any amount of time as this may
damage the floor.

9 Once finished, step on the tag of the Hard Floor
Cleaning Pad and lift the unit to remove the pad
from the Sonic Duo™ Pro. (Fig. 21)

A. This may be leftover from past cleaners that
were used on the floor surface. Use the Sonic
Duo™ Pro a few more times and see if the
leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not
work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water
and letting it dry. 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 to 2 parts water. Then use
the Sonic Duo™ Pro again with a clean
pad.

Q. How can I remove tough stains and tough dried
on dirt.

A. To remove tough stains and dried on dirt, we
recommend using the ScrubDuster™ tool with
the Scrubbing Pad. Just attach the pad, extend
the wand and clean away your toughest spots.

Polishing Your Hard Floors:
1 Vacuum the floor to remove all loose dirt, dust
and grit from the floor surface. For best results,
we recommend that you clean the floor using the
Shark® Hard Floor Cleaner first and allow time
to dry before polishing.

bottom of the Sonic Duo™ Pro. This pad has a
“Orange” trim and the “Orange” tag says “Hard
Floor Polishing Pad”. (Fig. 22)

release the handle.
WARNING: Never stand on the Sonic Duo™
Pro.

Polish onto an area of the floor to be polished
and place the polishing pad over it before you
start the unit. Make sure that the polishing pad
is saturated and then squirt the polish in 5’x5’
sections. (Fig. 23)
5 Turn the On/Off button to “(I) Hard Floor”
mode. Always squirt the floor polish from a
height of 6 inches above the floor to avoid
splashing the polish over the floor. One bottle is
enough to cover 425 square feet. (Fig. 24)

TOLL FREE: 1-800-798-7398

6 Use the Sonic Duo™ Pro to spread the
polish evenly over the floor. Do not go over an
applied area too frequently. Always leave an
area looking wet. If a section begins to look dry
while polishing, add more Hard Floor Polish to
the area. Repeat until the whole area has been
polished.
7 When going from section to section, do not lift
the Sonic Duo™ Pro to move it, always slide it
to the next section. No rinsing is required.
8 Allow the Hard Floor Polish to dry for at least
1 hour in light traffic areas and a complete 24
hours for the polish to cure before returning to
heavy traffic areas.
9 When finished, turn the unit off and slide and
lift the Sonic Duo™ Pro to remove it from
the area that was just polished. Lay the Sonic
Duo™ Pro on its side and remove the Hard
Floor Polishing Pad by hand. (Fig. 25)

NOTE: Depending on the amount of traffic your
floors sustain, Shark® recommends polishing
every 2 months. Touch up high traffic areas as
needed in-between full floor polishes.

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed wood
or unglazed ceramic floors. Do not use on wood
or tile floors that are highly worn, unfinished
or have a wax or oil finish. Surfaces that have
been treated with wax or some no wax floors
may be damaged by the cleaning and polishing
solutions therefore it is always recommended to
test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned
or polished before proceeding. You should check
the use and care instructions from the floor
manufacturer before cleaning or polishing.

IMPORTANT: Do not use more than one brand
of floor polish to polish one room. Use only
Shark® Hard Floor Polish.

A. Shark® Hard Floor Polish should always be
squirted directly onto the floor . If it was run
through the unit, you need to flush it out
immediately. Fill the Reusable Bottle with
warm water and spray it through the system
to flush it. Then turn and remove the tip of
the nozzle to clean it. (Fig. 26) Call Customer
Service at 1-800-798-7398 for additional
assistance if necessary.

General Tips:
• Change the Hard Floor Cleaning Pad frequently for best results.
• Always vacuum floors and carpets before cleaning or polishing.
• If you notice any uneven areas or streaking, DO NOT go over the same area with more polish if the floor
has begun to dry. Wait until the floor polish has totally dried for approximately a day before going over it
again with more polish.
• N
ever lift the Sonic Duo™ Pro up at the end of a section of flooring that has been polished. Always
slide the unit off the floor and then remove the pad.
• W
hen polishing, you should always leave each section looking wet, never dry, before going to the next
section.
• T ry the Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor Remover to eliminate your toughest stains. Just spray the solution
onto the stain until saturated, allow 5-10 minutes to set and then blot up the stain with a white cloth or
towel. Never scrub the stain, only blot.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM

POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Sonic Duo™ Pro is
squirting foam from the spray
nozzle.

1. The Reusable Bottle is not firmly inserted into the unit. Make sure that you hear
an audible “Click” when you insert the Reusable Bottle into the appliance.
2. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds
to flush the system.

Sonic Duo™ Pro doesn’t
spray.

1. Make sure that the Reusable Bottle is inserted all the way in. You should hear an
audible “Click” when inserted.
2. Check that there is enough cleaning solution in the Reusable Bottle. If not, add
more.
3. The bottle cap on the Reusable Bottle may need to be cleaned. Remove it from
the Reusable Bottle and rinse it under running water and then replace it onto the
Reusable Bottle.
4. There may be air in the system. Hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds
until solution comes out of the spray nozzle.
5. The colored spray nozzle at the front of the unit where the spray comes out
may be clogged. Clean the spray nozzle by removing it from the unit. To remove
it, grip the small lips at the top and bottom of the spray nozzle and turn
counterclockwise. Run the spray nozzle under warm water to clean it out. Reinsert
the spray nozzle by lining up its grooves with the inside of the nozzle hole. Turn
clockwise until the lips return to the top and bottom positions.

Sonic Duo™ Pro turns off
when the handle is lowered.

1. The Sonic Duo™ Pro automatically turns off when the handle is lowered to
low. This is a safety mechanism to ensure that the machine will turn off if it is
dropped. To keep the Sonic Duo™ Pro on when cleaning under low profile
items, simply twist the handle to the left or right and engage the swivel. When the
handle is swivelled and lowered, the Sonic Duo™ Pro will remain on.

The cap of the Reusable Bottle
is stuck inside the Sonic
Duo™ Pro after the bottle
was removed.

1. To remove the cap, hold center valve of the cap with your fingers and gently pull
it out. If it doesn’t come out easily, use a set of long nose pliers for leverage. Be
careful not to crack the center valve when applying pressure and lifting up.

The Reusable Bottle fell out.

1. The Sonic Duo™ Pro is not meant to be turned upside down. When upsidedown, the Reusable Bottle is at risk for falling out of its cradle. Please do not turn
the Sonic Duo™ Pro upside-down. If it is necessary to turn the unit upsidedown, remove the Reusable Bottle first.

Sonic Duo™ Pro turns off
on its own.

This unit is equipped with an automatic protector. If for some reason your appliance
overheats, the protector will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, perform
the following steps to restart the appliance:
1. Move the switch to the “O” (Off) position.
2. Unplug.
3. Allow the unit to cool for around 45 minutes.
4. Plug in.
5. Turn the switch on to restart.
