GETTING STARTED

When assembling your steam mop, there may be a little water in or around the water tank. This is because we test all our steam mops before you buy them, so you get a quality Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop.

  1. Steam Mop Handle
  2. Quick-Release Cord Holder
  3. Steam Mop Body
  4. Mop Head
  5. Water Tank Lid

ASSEMBLING YOUR DEVICE

  1. Insert the mop handle into the steam mop body until it clicks into place.
  2. To attach the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads, place BOTH pads flat on the floor with the plastic rings facing up.

    ASSEMBLING YOUR DEVICE
  3. Unplug the steam mop before refilling the water tank. To open the water tank, pull the lid down.
  4. Use the filling flask to pour distilled water into the tank. Make sure not to exceed the Max Fill line. When finished, close the tank lid firmly. Add ONLY water to the tank. Chemicals or cleaning solutions (including vinegar) may damage the steam mop and could be unsafe for you and your family.

USING YOUR DEVICE

NOTE: To prolong the life of your steam mop, we recommend using distilled water.

NOTE: Sweep or vacuum your floors prior to cleaning with your steam mop.

  1. Make sure both pads are properly installed before using.
  2. Twist the quick-release cord holder to unwrap the power cord completely. Plug into an electrical outlet.
  3. When it's first plugged in, the unit will be in Standby mode. The 3 settings will blink to indicate Standby mode.
  4. To select the steam mode, press the mode button. Once the mode is selected, tilt the handle down to activate the spinning pads.
    USING YOUR DEVICE - Selecting the mode
    TIP: If the handle is not reclined, the mode selection may time out and pads will not spin.
    TIP: When cleaning near baseboards, edges, or furniture, you may feel a slight pull from the unit making contact with these surfaces. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
  5. Mop with a forward and backward motion.
  6. When finished mopping, press the mode button until you've reached Standby mode. The settings lights will blink, indicating that the unit is in Standby mode. Once in Standby mode, lift the handle to bring the steam mop back to the upright position and unplug the unit.
  7. When the pads have cooled completely, remove them by pulling them off the discs.
  8. When the water tank is empty, the unit will stop producing steam. Make sure the unit is unplugged before refilling the water tank.
    NOTE: Please wait 2 to 3 minutes for the steam mop to cool off before removing the Dirt Grip pads. NEVER leave the steam mop with damp or wet Dirt Grip pads on any floor for an extended period.

INTELLIGENT STEAM CONTROL

The Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop has 3 unique Intelligent Steam Control settings so you can select the ideal amount of steam to use for each cleaning task. In NORMAL mode, the pads will spin faster and more steam will be produced than in LIGHT mode. In DEEP mode, the pads will spin the fastest and the maximum amount of steam will be produced. See below for tips on when to use each setting.

SETTING IDEAL FOR THESE SEALED SURFACES RECOMMENDED USAGE
LIGHT
 Laminate Hardwood Vinyl Cleaning delicate surfaces
Light cleaning and dusting
Loosening and lifting light dirt
NORMAL
 Marble Tile Stone Basic, everyday cleaning
Cleaning large areas
Cleaning moderate and heavy traffic areas
DEEP
 Marble Tile Stone Reaching hard-to-clean surfaces
Tough cleaning and removing stuck-on messes and stains
Deep cleaning heavy traffic areas
Cutting through heavy dirt and grime
Sanitizing* floors

STEAM BLASTER:

  1. To target tough messes with an extra burst of cleaning power, move the front of the nozzle 2 to 4 inches from the mess, then press and hold the Steam Blaster button as needed. (Hold longer for the toughest messes.)
  2. Before scrubbing, wait 5 seconds to let the steam blast penetrate the mess.

Tip: For more difficult messes, allow 20 seconds or more.

TO SANITIZE*:

  1. Attach clean Dirt Grip® Soft Scrub Pads to the scrubbing mop head.
  2. Plug in the unit, tilt the mop handle down, and press the mode button to select the DEEP setting. The pads will then start spinning.
  3. Wait 30 seconds for the unit to begin producing steam.
  4. Start mopping with a forward and backward motion on an appropriate sealed hard floor surface. After three minutes, your unit will be ready to sanitize.
  5. Using a forward and backward motion, move the mop head slowly and evenly over the area to be sanitized while applying continuous downward pressure. Slowly repeat at least 15 times.

*Sanitization studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Household conditions and results may vary. With mop head in DEEP mode.

CARING FOR YOUR UNIT

AFTER USE AND STORAGE

  1. Press the mode button until the settings lights start to blink, indicating that you are in Standby mode. Unplug the cord from the outlet and place the steam mop into the upright position. Let it cool.
  2. When the pads have cooled completely, remove them by pulling them off the discs.
  3. After the unit has cooled and the steam has been released, empty the water tank before storing. Open the tank lid and pour the water out into a sink or bathtub. After all the water has drained out, close the lid.
  4. To store the steam mop, wait until after it has cooled and the steam has been released. Lock the steam mop in an upright standing position by raising the handle until the pole is standing straight up, perpendicular to the ground. With the unit locked in the upright standing position, store it in a dry, protected area (e.g., in a closet or the corner of a room) until next use.

DIRT GRIP SOFT SCRUB PADS CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Care
Machine-wash the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads separately with warm water using liquid detergent. Do not clean pads in a dishwasher, as some detergents may cause the pads to leave streak marks on the floor.

NEVER USE BLEACH, POWDERED DETERGENT, OR FABRIC SOFTENERS as they may damage the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads or leave a coating that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads should be line-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric.
DIRT GRIP SOFT SCRUB PADS CARE INSTRUCTIONS


Loose fibers can indicate wearing of the microfiber fabric. DO NOT pull the loose fibers, as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim the loose fibers with scissors.

Replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads
For best cleaning results, we recommend replacing the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads every 3 to 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 purchase replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads and other accessories by visiting sharkclean.com.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The steam mop isn't producing any steam. The steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet. Check your fuse or circuit breaker or try a different outlet.
Make sure the water tank is full, the unit is plugged in, and the mode button is illuminated.
If the settings lights are off, try a different electrical outlet.
If the settings lights are blinking, press the mode button to select a steam setting.
If the settings lights are illuminated steadily, wait 30 seconds for the unit to warm up.
If after following the above steps the steam mop still does not produce any steam, contact Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398 or visit sharkclean.com.
The steam mop is producing intermittent steam. This is normal. For more consistent steam, select the NORMAL setting. Also make sure the water tank is full.
I can't select a steam setting. Make sure the steam mop is plugged in and the settings lights are flashing. If your steam mop is producing steam but the settings lights are off, call Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398.
Floors are cloudy, streaky, or spotty after steaming. The Dirt Grip® Soft Scrub Pads might be dirty. Install a clean set of pads. If you washed the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads with powdered detergent, then they could be damaged and require replacement.
Due to accumulated soap or grease residue, the floor may require several cleanings with the steam mop.
A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar and two parts water* (but DO NOT put any cleaning solution into the steam mop's water tank).
*Please consult your flooring manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions before applying any cleaning products or solutions.
It's hard to push or pull the mop. The mop might be hard to push or pull if the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads aren't wet enough. It should get easier to move the mop across the floor after it's been running for a few minutes.
Overly dirty pads could also make it harder to push or pull the mop. We recommend using clean pads.
Rotating discs are not turning or are wobbling. The steam mop may be in the upright position. Tilt the handle down to use the mop.
The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads may not be centered. Turn the power OFF, unplug the steam mop, wait for a few moments to allow the pads to cool, then reinstall the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads.
The steam mop is vibrating or wobbling. The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads are not centered on the rotating discs. Turn the power OFF and unplug the unit, and wait for the pads to cool. Follow the instructions in the Assembling Your Steam & Scrub section to reinstall the pads.
The steam mop turns off on its own. If your steam mop shuts off while in use, it likely needs to cool down. Perform the following steps before you restart cleaning:
  1. Turn the steam mop off, unplug it, and remove pads.
  2. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  3. Reinstall the pads. Plug in the steam mop, select a steam mode, and begin cleaning.

FAQ

QUESTION ANSWER

Can I use the unit on carpets

 No, the steam mop is not designed for carpet cleaning.

What surfaces can I use the unit on

The steam mop is designed for use on all sealed hard floor surfaces. We recommend that you first test an isolated area of the floor surface to be cleaned as well as review the use and care instructions from your floor manufacturer.


DO NOT use on leather, wax-polished furniture, synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other delicate, steam-sensitive materials.

NOTE: On surfaces treated with wax and on some unwaxed floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat or steam action of the unit. Test an isolated area of flooring first to see if sheen is affected.
Can I put something other than water in the water tank of the steam mop? DO NOT add cleaning solutions, vinegar, 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. We recommend using distilled water in your steam mop.
