Getting Started with Your Portable Steam Pocket®

1 Turn the water tank cap counter

clockwise and remove from the tank.

(fig. 1)

Use the filling flask and pour water

into the tank. Do not overfill. Replace

the cap on the water tank.

(fig. 2)

IMPORTANT: Your Portable Steam

Pocket® needs water to make steam!

Never use your Portable Steam

Pocket® without water in the tank.

2 Plug into a 120-volt electrical outlet.

The Power Light will flash blue. If the

light does not turn on, reference the

troubleshooting section on page 14.

(fig. 3)

NOTE: To prolong the life of your

Portable Steam Pocket®, we

recommend using distilled water.

Your Shark® Pro Portable

Steam Pocket® 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.

Cleaning Tip: The Direct Steam Nozzle creates direct steam spray to clean

and sanitize hard to reach nooks & crannies and other places where germs

may build up. Use the Direct Steam nozzle to loosen and dislodge compact

dirt often found in corners and tight places where traditional methods and

cleaning tools tend to push dirt into, making it tough to reach and clean.

Spray direct steam and wipe clean with a wet cloth or paper towel.

Using Your Portable Steam Pocket®

with Direct Steam Nozzle

CAUTION: Do not press steam

trigger until the Direct Steam Nozzle

is snapped into the main nozzle of

your Portable Steam Pocket®.

3 To remove the Direct Steam Nozzle

attachment, press and hold down the

release buttons. Then slide off of the

handheld steamer.

CAUTION: Do not press steam

trigger while removing the Direct

Steam Nozzle. Avoid touching the tip

of the Direct Steam Nozzle, as this

will be very hot after steaming.

NOTE: The Portable Steam Pocket®

may continue to emit steam for a few

seconds after the trigger is released.

This is normal, and the steaming will

eventually come to a stop.

1 For spot cleaning and steaming, first

attach the Direct Steam Nozzle by

pressing the nozzle onto the Portable

Steam Pocket® until it clicks

into place. (fig. 4)

2 Then press and hold the steam

trigger button to start steaming.

While the steam trigger button is

pressed and held down, the

Power Light will be solid blue. When

released, the Power Light will return

to flashing blue. (fig. 5).

For effective cleaning, hold the

steam output nozzle 1-2 inches away

from the surface you’re cleaning.

Using Your Portable Steam Pocket®

with Flat Scrubber

4 To remove the Flat Scrubber Tool,

press and hold down the release

button. Then slide the Flat Scrubber

off of the hose.

CAUTION: Do not press steam

trigger while attaching or removing

the Flat Scrubber Tool.

CAUTION: Do not use the Flat

Scrubber without All-purpose

cleaning pad attached.

Cleaning Tip: The Flat Scrubber is designed for cleaning a variety of surfaces and is

exceptional on those that are large and flat including counter tops, table tops, walls

mirrors, windows, stairs, shelves and other similar surfaces. Super absorbent micro-

fiber loosens, lifts, and locks in dirt and grime while sanitizing at the same time.

1 To attach the All-Purpose Scrubber

pad, pull the pad gently over the Flat

Scrubber frame until the pad fits

snugly.

2 Press the Flat Scrubber Tool onto the

Accessory hose until it clicks into place.

(fig. 8)

3 Press and hold the steam trigger

to create steam. While the steam

trigger button is pressed and held

down, the Power Light will be solid

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

1 If you are also done cleaning, unplug

the cord from the outlet and place the

Handheld Scrubber on a flat surface.

storage. Remove the water tank cap

and empty the tank over a sink.

Replace the water cap. (fig. 10)

Care of Your Portable Steam Pocket®

fig. 10

CARE OF YOUR MICRO-FIBER

CLEANING PAD

1 We recommend washing your

micro-fiber cleaning pad separately

from other fabrics to avoid picking

up lint. Only use liquid detergent

(no powder detergent). Don’t use

any fabric softeners or bleach. Line

dry or dry on a low dryer setting.

(fig. 11)

2 If there are loose threads on the

micro-fiber cleaning pad carefully

cut the thread with scissors. Don’t

pull on them or cut at the base.

IMPORTANT: The micro-fiber

cleaning pad may be very hot

from the steam. Use caution when

removing. Let the unit cool for 2-3

minutes.

CLEANING THE NOZZLE

1 Your Portable Steam Pocket® should

not normally require cleaning,

however, should you notice a

decrease in the steam output, it may

be necessary to remove mineral

deposits built up around the nozzles.

2 Unplug the cleaner from the

electrical outlet.

3 Use the provided nozzle cleaner or a

small diameter stiff metal wire, such

as a straightened metal paperclip,

and carefully insert the end of the

wire into the nozzle orifice. See

illustration above. (fig. 12)

4 Move the wire back and forth several

times to remove any deposits.

5 Plug in the appliance to the power

outlet and test steam output.

Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

The Shark® Pro

Portable Steam

Pocket® will not turn-

on.

Your Portable Steam Pocket® should be securely plugged into a

120V AC electrical outlet only.

Check your fuse or breaker.

If your unit still does not work, call 1-800-798-7398.

The unit will not

make steam.

Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your

Portable Steam Pocket® following instructions on page 4.

If the unit still does not make steam, follow the instructions on

page 13 to clean the nozzle.

The Shark® Pro

Portable Steam

Pocket® leaves water

on surfaces.

Check to see if your micro-fiber cleaning pad is too wet. We

recommend you unplug the Portable Steam Pocket® and

change the micro-fiber cleaning pad.

Make sure the micro-fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.

The Shark® Pro

Portable Steam

Pocket® left a white

spot on the surface.

Do not leave your Portable Steam Pocket® on the floor with a

damp or wet cleaning pad.

If you’re using tap water, we recommend switching to

distilled water.

Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.

Surfaces are cloudy,

streaky or spotty

after steaming.

The micro-fiber cleaning pad might be dirty. Flip or change the

cleaning pad.

If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent, then it

might be ruined. Replacement pads are available at

sharkclean.com.

This could also be an indication of prior soap or grease residue

that has accumulated on the surfaces. As our Portable Steam

Pockets use only a small amount of water, it may not be wet

enough to rinse off the accumulation that the steam is bringing

to the surface. We suggest rinsing the floor with nothing but

water, letting it dry, and then steaming again with a clean pad.

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 and two parts water.
