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

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.

NOTE: Make sure the floors are  
swept or vacuumed before using the  
steam mop.  
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.

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 can’t hide on  
either side.  
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: Please wait 3-5 minutes  
for the Steam Mop to cool off before  
switching the mop head or the  
micro-fiber pockets.  
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 Steam Mop won’t clean  
your carpeting or area  
rugs. However, it’s great for  
deodorizing and freshening.  
1
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.

The micro-fiber pocket might be dirty. Flip or change  
the pocket.  
If you washed the pocket with powder detergent then the

If you are cleaning in a kitchen area where there might be a  
build-up of grease then use a degreasing agent such as an  
all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and paper towels to clean  
the area first.  
Floors are cloudy,  
streaky or spotty  
after steaming.  
You might have left the mop in the same spot for  
too long.  
Do you have hard water? If you do you, we recommend  
switching to distilled water.
