WHEN USING YOUR SHARK®
STEAM MOP, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING YOUR STEAM MOP.
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.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1. Use the system only for its intended
use.
2. DO NOT use outdoors.
3. DO NOT leave the appliance
unattended when plugged in. Always
unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
4. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. DO
NOT allow the appliance to be used by
children. Close attention is necessary
when used by or near children, pets or
plants.
5. Use only as described in this manual.
6. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance with
a damaged plug or cord, or if the unit
has been dropped or damaged. To
avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble or attempt to repair the
appliance on your own. Return the
appliance to EURO-PRO Operating LLC
for examination and repair. Incorrect
re-assembly or repair can cause a risk
of electrical shock or injury to persons
when the appliance is used.
8. To protect against a risk of electric
shock, DO NOT immerse the Steam
Mop into water or any other liquids.
9. DO NOT handle plug or Steam Mop
with wet hands or operate appliance
without shoes.
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord,
use power cord as handle, close a door
on the power cord, or pull the power
cord around sharp edges or corners.

11. DO NOT unplug by pulling on power
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug not
the power cord. Do not use extension
cords or outlets with inadequate
current carrying capacity.
12. DO NOT put any objects into
openings. Do not use with any opening
that is blocked.
13. DO NOT put hands or feet under the
Steam Mop. Unit gets very hot.
14. DO NOT use for space heating
purposes.
15. Use ONLY on flat, horizontal surfaces.
Do not use on walls, counters or
windows.
16. DO NOT use on leather, wax polished
furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics,
velvet or other delicate, steam sensitive
materials.
17. DO NOT add cleaning solutions,
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. If you live
in a hard water area, we recommend
using distilled water in your Steam
Mop.
18. When in use, NEVER turn the appliance
over or on its side. NEVER DIRECT
STEAM TOWARDS PEOPLE,
ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
19. NEVER LEAVE THE STEAM MOP
IN ONE SPOT ON ANY SURFACE
FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME WHEN
MICRO-FIBER PAD IS ATTACHED AS
THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR FLOORS.
20. Carefully remove the micro-fiber
cleaning pad immediately after you
have unplugged and allowed the
Steam Mop to cool.
21. When cleaning the Steam Mop, unplug
the power cord from the electrical
outlet and clean with a dry or damp
cloth. Do not pour water or use
alcohol, benzene or paint thinner on
the unit.
22. Extreme caution should be exercised
when using this appliance to clean
stairs.
23. Never use the Steam Mop without
micro-fiber cleaning pad attached.
24. Keep your work area well lit.
25. Store the Steam Mop indoors in a cool,
dry place.
26. To avoid circuit overload, do not
operate another appliance on the same
socket (circuit) as the steam cleaner.
27. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, an extension cord rated a
minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gage 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.
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 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
the 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.

to make steam! Never use your Steam Mop
without water in the tank.

to lift up and lock away all of the dirt and
debris. (fig. 11)

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 4.
The Sonic Lift™cleaning pad has two different
cleaning sides. One side has nylon scrubbers to

CARE OF YOUR CLEANING PAD
1We recommend washing your Sonic Lift™
cleaning pads separately from other fabrics
to avoid picking up lint. Only use liquid
detergent (no powder detergent). Do
not use any fabric softeners or bleach.
Line dry or dry on a low dryer setting.
(fig. 15)
2If there are loose threads on the cleaning
pad carefully cut the thread with scissors.
Do not pull on them or cut at the base.
(fig. 16)
IMPORTANT: The cleaning pad may be
very hot from the steam. Use caution when
removing. Let the unit cool for 2-3 minutes
before removing the cleaning pad.
AVOIDING DECALCIFICATION IN 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.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The Pro Sonic Steam
Pocket
®
Mop will not
turn-on.
Your Steam Mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.
Check your fuse or breaker.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer Care at 1-800-798-7398.
The unit will not
make steam.
Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your Steam Mop following
instructions on page 4.
If the unit still doesn’t make steam, follow the decalcification instructions on page 10.
Cannot select steam
setting/flashing blue light
remains on.
If you have already plugged in your unit, unplug and try a different outlet. This may
reset the standby mode.
Add water to the tank and press the STEAM button to select a steam setting.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer Care at 1-800-798-7398.
The Pro Sonic Steam
Pocket
®
Mop leaves
water on the floor.
Check to see if your Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is soaked through. We recommend
you unplug the Steam Mop and change the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad.
Make sure the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is attached correctly.
The Pro Sonic Steam
Pocket
®
Mop left a white
spot on the floor.
Do not leave your Steam Mop 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.
Floors are cloudy, streaky
or spotty after steaming.
The Sonic Lift™cleaning pad might be dirty. Change the cleaning pad .
If you washed the Sonic Lift™ cleaning pad with powder detergent, then it
may be damaged and require replacement .
Replacement pads are available at www.sharkclean.com.
You might have left the mop in the same spot for too long.
Do you have hard water? If you do, you might want to switch to distilled
water.
This might be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor surface. Use the
Pro Sonic Steam Pocket® Mop a few more times and see if the leftover
cloudiness is removed. If this does not work, we suggest rinsing the floor with
water, letting it dry, and then steam mopping 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.
The Pro Sonic Steam
Pocket
®
Mop is hard to
push.
Make sure the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is excessively dirty.
Check to see if the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is excessively wet. If it is, change
to a dry cleaning pad.
