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.

    28. 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 it 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 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.

HANDHELD ACCESSORIES

Assembling Your Steam Mop

IMPORTANT: Always make sure the mop is UNPLUGGED from the wall when not in use. Never fill the mop, attach the mop head, and change or remove the cleaning pocket when the mop is plugged into the wall. To prolong the life of your Shark® Professional 2-in-1 Steam Pocket Mop we recommend using distilled water. Make sure you only add water to the tank. Chemicals or cleaning solutions may damage the appliance and could be unsafe for you and your family.

Using Your Steam Mop

IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not use the mop without attaching a cleaning 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.

2.  Use the filling flask and pour water into the tank. Do not overfill. Replace the cap on the water tank. (fig. 4)

Using Your Handheld Steamer

Your Shark® Professional 2-in-1 Steam Pocket Mop 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.

1. To remove the Handheld Steamer, press and hold down the Handle Release Button while pulling out the handle. (fig. 8)
2. To remove the mop head, press the mop head release button and pull the mop head off. (fig. 8)

Using Your Removable Handheld Steamer with the Different Accessories

2. Select the desired cleaning tool for use. Follow the cleaning tool sub-assembly instructions for the selected tool. (fig. 10)
3. To remove the Accessory Hose, press and hold down the Handheld Release Buttons. Then slide out the Accessory Hose using the grip.
   • CAUTION: Do not press the power button while attaching or removing the Accessory Hose.
   • CAUTION: Do not use the Accessory Hose without the cleaning tools attached.

USING THE MINI WEDGE CLEANING TOOL
Cleaning Tip: The Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool was designed for cleaning a variety of surfaces and is exceptional on those that are large and flat, both horizontal and vertical. Broad cleaning sides and super absorbent microfiber fabrics loosen, lift, and lock in dirt and grime while sanitizing at the same time. The wedge tip and squared edges reach into tight areas often missed or difficult to reach with traditional cleaning methods. The Wedge sides are concave to wrap around the sink and faucet fixtures, door knobs, and other small curved surfaces leaving them clean all around. Multiple sides provide more surface cleaning area and allow one to clean with one side and finish with the other. Surface examples for use are countertops, tabletops, cabinets, walls, floor spot cleaning, bathroom fixtures, and more.

1. Slide the Wedge All-Purpose Pocket over the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool frame until it is completely on. (fig. 13)
2.  Close the cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the locking bean to tighten. (fig. 14)
3.  Attach the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool by snapping into the handle of the Accessory Hose until it clicks into place. (fig. 15)
4.  Press the power button to start steaming.
5.  To remove the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool, press and hold down the Accessory release button. Then slide out the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool.
   CAUTION: Turn the unit off before attaching or removing the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool. Always use the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool with a pocket attached.
   CAUTION: It is recommended that you allow the cleaning pockets to cool off before removing them from the Mini Wedge Cleaning Tool to avoid possible scalding injury.

Care of Your Steam Mop

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

1. Press the power button to turn the unit off. Unplug the cord from the outlet and place the mop into the upright position. Let the unit cool for 2-3 minutes.
2.  When you have finished using the Handheld Steamer, reattach the handle to the handheld steamer.
3.  Remove the cleaning pockets from the mop heads by releasing the quick fasteners and using the loop on the side of the pocket, avoiding contact with the hot pocket or dirt.
4. Empty the water tank before storage. Remove the water tank cap and empty the tank over a sink. Replace the water cap.
5. To store the Shark® Professional 2 in 1 Steam Pocket Mop hanging up, first remove the head (after it has cooled and the steam has been released) then hang it on a large hook. (fig. 16)

STEAM POCKET® CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Care
Before washing, close the quick fasteners so they don’t get caught on each other. Wash the pockets separately with warm water in the washing machine using liquid detergent.

NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS
as they may damage or leave a coating that will reduce the cleaning performance and absorbancy of the pockets. Pockets should be line dried or tumble-dried in a dryer on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric. (fig. 17) Loose fibers can indicate the wearing of the microfiber fabric. Do not pull the loose fibers as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply cut the loose fiber with scissors for continued cleaning. (fig. 18)

Replacement
For best floor cleaning results, we recommend replacing your steam pocket every 3-4 months following normal use. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease, friction and repeated washing can cause the fibers to break down and you may notice an increase in the effort needed to push or pull the mop. You can find and purchase replacement microfiber steam cleaning pockets and accessories at local retail outlets or by visiting our website www.sharkclean.com.

DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP
Calcium and mineral deposits can build up and impact the performance of your steam mop over time. To extend the life of your product we recommend that you use distilled water.

CLEANING THE NOZZLE
NOTE: To prevent clogging, it is recommended that you periodically clean the Direct Steam Nozzle and the extension hose stem.

1. Your Handheld Steamer 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 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. 19)
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.

Ordering Extra Accessories

NOTE: Select cleaning accessories are included. Others are available for purchase at www.SharkClean.com or by calling 1.800.798.7398. For a list of what is included with this model, refer to inside flap of box.
