polished furniture or floors,
synthetic fabrics, velvet or other
delicate, steam sensitive materials.
16. 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.
17. When in use, NEVER turn the
appliance over or on its side.
NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS
PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
18. 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.
19. Carefully remove the micro-fiber
cleaning pad immediately after you
have unplugged and allowed the
steam mop to cool.
20. 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.
21. Extreme caution should be

22. Never use steam mop without
micro-fiber cleaning pad attached.
23. Keep your work area well lit.
24. Store steam mop indoors in a cool,
dry place.
25. To avoid circuit overload, do not
operate another appliance on the

26. 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

tripped over.
27 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.
WHEN USING YOUR SHARK
STEAM MOP, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,

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

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

IMPORTANT: First things first, always
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 cleaning pad when the mop is
plugged into the wall. To prolong
the life of your Shark® Pro Steam
Pocket® Mop, we recommend using
distilled water. Make sure you only
add water to the tank. Chemicals or
cleaning solution may damage the
appliance and could be unsafe for
you and your family.
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 100% before you buy
them, so you get a quality Shark® Pro
Steam Pocket® Mop.
ASSEMBLE
1 Insert the Mop handle end labeled
“Front” into the steam mop body.
Make sure it is inserted past the line
printed on the pole. The screw hole
on the bottom of the pole will match
the screw hole on the mop body.
Secure the assembled handle and
pole by using the provided large
screw and a Phillips or a flat head
screw driver. (fig. 1)

3 Press the ON/STANDBY switch
once to activate the DUST steam
setting. The ON/STANDBY switch
will turn solid blue, and the LED light
corresponding to the DUST setting
will also turn blue. This steam setting
is ideal for light cleaning and dusting
on all surfaces and is best for fast
floor drying. This setting is gentle
enough to use on delicate floor
surfaces such as laminate. (fig. 8)
For basic, everyday cleaning and
removal of spots and smaller
stains, press the ON/STANDBY
switch a second time to activate the
MOP steam setting. The LED light
corresponding to the MOP setting
will then turn blue. This steam setting
is ideal for surfaces such as hardwood
and tile. (fig. 9)
For tough cleaning and the removal
of tough, stuck-on messes and stains,
press the ON/STANDBY switch a third
time to activate the SCRUB steam
setting. The LED light corresponding
to the SCRUB setting will turn blue.
This steam setting is appropriate for
use on more durable floors such as
tile and stone. To better understand
which steam setting to use for your
mess, turn to page 7.
4 Clean your floors with a forward and
backward motion. (fig. 10)

Using Your Steam Mop - cont’d Using Your Carpet Glider
THE CARPET GLIDER
1 The Carpet Glider can be used with
the all-purpose head to lightly steam
your carpet and area rugs. Just
place the mop head with micro-fiber
cleaning pad attached on top of the
glider and snap the top of it
into place. The recommended steam
setting is SCRUB when using the
carpet glider. (fig. 12)
2 Move the steam mop 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 grooming and freshening.
(fig. 13)
NOTE: Do not leave steam mop
with carpet glider in one stationary
position for any period of time.
5 When one side of the micro-fiber
cleaning pad gets dirty, just flip the
mop head and you can quickly start
using the other side. (fig. 11)
6 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 4. This
applies to switching the mop heads
or micro-fiber cleaning pad as well.
NOTE: Please wait 2-3 minutes for
the Steam Mop to cool off before
removing the mop head or the
micro-fiber cleaning pad. Never leave
the steam mop with a damp/wet
micro-fiber cleaning pad on
any floor.
IMPORTANT: Your Steam Mop has
an auto shut-off feature that stops
the unit from steaming after 30
seconds of non-use. Just press the
ON/STANDBY switch to awaken your
mop from auto shut-off mode and
resume mopping.

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. 17)
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.
(fig. 18)
DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP
Over time calcium deposits can build
up and impact the performance
of your mop. We recommend you
decalcify your Steam Mop every 2-3
months to prolong the life of
your mop.
1 Fill the water tank of your steam
mop with 1 part white vinegar to 4
parts water.
2 Placing the mop in a shower or tub,
run the mop continuously until the
water tank is empty and the mop
stops making steam.
3 Turn the mop off and unplug your
Shark® Pro Steam Pocket® Mop.
2 Empty the water tank before
storage. Remove the water tank cap
and empty the tank over a sink.
Replace the water cap. (fig. 15)
3 To store the Shark® Pro Steam
Pocket® Mop hanging up, first
remove the head (after it has cooled
and the steam has been released)
then hang on a large hook. (fig. 16)
IMPORTANT: 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 or Shark®’s
Water Filtration Bottle.
Visit www.SharkClean.com to order.
Also see page 11 for instructions on
how to decalcify your mop as part of
your regular maintenance.
AFTER USE AND STORAGE
1 When you have finished using the
steam mop, press the ON/STANDBY
switch until the LED light turns
flashing BLUE. This stops the unit
from steaming. Unplug the cord from
the outlet and place the mop into the
upright position. Let the unit cool for
2-3 minutes.
Remove the micro-fiber cleaning pad
by releasing the quick fasteners and
using the lavender loop on the side
of the pocket, avoiding contact with
the hot pad or dirt. (fig. 14)

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
steam mop following instructions on page 4.
If the unit still doesn’t make steam, follow the
decalcification instructions on page 11.

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.
If you are cleaning in a kitchen area where there might be a

all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and paper towels, to clean
the area first.
You might have left the mop in the same spot for too long.
The Pro Steam
Pocket® Mop is
hard to push.
