YOUR SHARK®STEAM MOP IS EASY TO
ASSEMBLE
1First remove all the parts from the package. We
know you’re excited about the Shark®Steam Mop,
but don’t plug it in until it’s fully assembled and
you’ve read all of the following instructions.
2Slide the upper extension tube (the tube with the
handle) into the lower extension tube (the short
tube). Push the two extension tubes together until
you hear it click into place. See illustration for a
visual explanation.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure that your Steam
Mop is unplugged from the wall before you attach
the cleaning pad.
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®Steam Mop.
3 Insert the pieces you assembled in Step 2 into the
pump actuator (the tube that leads to the tank). Push
the extension tube assembly and pump actuator
together in until you hear it click into place. Insert
cord into cord clip on the shaft of the steam-mop.

PLACING THE CLEANING PAD
1Place the cleaning pad underneath the mop head,
with the quick fastener strips facing up. Simply press
the pad on to the Steam Mop.
IMPORTANT: 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
FILLING THE WATER TANK
IMPORTANT: Before you fill up the tank, make sure
your Steam Mop is unplugged from the wall.
1First, remove the water tank cap by turning it
counter clockwise to the unlocked position. See
illustration for a visual explanation.
2 The filling flask included with your Steam Mop
makes filling the water tank as simple as getting a
glass of water from the sink. Fill the flask with water
and pour it into the tank. Be sure to keep the water
under the “MAX FILL” line; just one flask of water
is enough for your Steam Mop. See illustration for a
visual explanation.
3Replace the water tank cap by turning it clockwise to
the locked position.
NOTE: Don’t be alarmed if the first time you use
your Steam Mop, you notice water inside the water
tank or drops of water in the packaging. It’s normal
to see this water. Your Steam Mop was 100% tested
in the factory to ensure your safety and your floor’s
happiness. If you see water in the unit, it’s from
these tests.

IMPORTANT: Your Steam Mop needs water to make
steam! Never use your Steam Mop without water in
the tank.
Sweep or vacuum your floors before using your
Steam Mop. Your Steam Mop was designed to get
rid of stuck-on gunk, grime, paw/footprints and
it will do a better job if yesterday’s cereal crumbs
aren’t in the way.
Using Your Steam Mop
1 Pull and twist the quick release cord holder to unwrap
the power cord completely. Plug into an electrical
outlet. The LED light around the Shark
®
logo will turn
on. Success! If your light doesn’t turn on reference the
Troubleshooting section on page 10.
2It takes about 30 seconds for the steam to get
going. Now pump the handle a few times to prime
the pump and activate steam.
3Mop with a forward and backward motion to
customise steam output automatically.
IMPORTANT: When your floors are sparkling clean
and you’re finished with your Steam Mop, unplug it
from the electrical outlet and carefully remove the
cleaning pad from the mop head. Always remove
the cleaning pad from the mop head when you have
finished using your Steam Mop to avoid damage to
your floors. The steam will make your cleaning pad
very hot. You may want to wait a couple of minutes
to let it cool off before you remove it.
Now comes the part you’ve been waiting for – it’s time
to use your steam mop. When you use your steam mop
for the first time or haven’t used the unit in awhile, it
may take a minute or two for the water to make its way
through the pump and into the heater to create steam.
Get it started by pumping the handle a few times. If
you’ve waited a few minutes and you still don’t see any
steam, reference the troubleshooting section on page 10.

When your Steam Mop stops steaming, it
could be out of water. Unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet and refill the water
tank at anytime.

Care of Your Steam Mop
KEEPING YOUR STEAM MOP IN TIP-TOP
SHAPE
If you love your Steam Mop, let it show. Caring for
your Steam Mop and properly storing it means you’ll
get the same super steam action you expect each
time you use it.
IMPORTANT: Both your Steam Mop and the
water inside it can get very hot, so let it cool down
completely before you store it.
IMPORTANT: Always store the Steam Mop in a safe
place away from children and high traffic areas.
NOTE: It’s a good idea to use distilled water in your
tank to help prolong the life of your Steam Mop,
especially if you live in an area with hard water.
Always remove the cleaning pad from the
Steam Mop head when you store your Steam
Mop to avoid damage to your floors.

other laundry.
