you hear it click into place. (fig. 1)
IMPORTANT: Never use the Light & Easy™
Steam Mop without attaching a microfibre
cleaning pad to avoid damage to your floor and
mop.
IMPORTANT: 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 recommend
that you check the use and care instructions
from the floor manufacturer.
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®Light & Easy™Steam Mop.
3Insert the assembled handle piece into the steam
mop base. Push the tube base together until you
hear a click. (fig. 2)
4For your comfort, you can adjust the height of the
mop. Just lift the latch on the tube 90 degrees to the
open position. Holding the handle, extend the tube
to the desired height and then close the latch to the
locked position. (fig. 3)
QUICK TIP: For easier pushing and pulling, extend
the handle length.

Your microfibre cleaning pads should be replaced
every 3 months to maximize cleaning performance.
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.
IMPORTANT: Your steam mop needs water
to make steam! Never use your steam mop
without water in the tank.
Sweep or vacuum your floors prior to cleaning with
your Light & Easy™Steam Mop.
Using Your Light & Easy™Steam Mop

unwrap the power cord completely. (fig. 6) Plug into
a 220-240 volt electrical outlet. The “On” light will
turn blue. If the light does not turn on, reference the
troubleshooting section on page 12. (fig. 7)
When you use your steam mop for the first time or
if you have not used the unit in awhile, it may take a
minute or two for the water to travel through the pump
and into the heater to create steam. Get it started by
pumping the handle a few times. If you have waited a few
minutes and you still do not see any steam, reference the
troubleshooting section on page 12.

Trouble Shooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The Light & Easy™Steam Mop
will not turn-on.
Your steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.
Check your fuse or breaker.
Light & Easy™Steam Mop will
not make steam.
Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your steam mop following
instructions on page 7.
Light & Easy™Steam Mop
leaves water on the floor.
Check to see if your cleaning pad is too wet. We recommend you unplug the
steam mop and change the cleaning pad.
Make sure the cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Light & Easy™Steam Mop left
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 secured on the water tank.
Floors are cloudy, streaky or
spotty after steaming.
The cleaning pad might be dirty. Change the cleaning pad.
If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent, then your pad could be
damaged and require replacement.
This could also be an indication of prior soap or grease residue that has
accumulated on the floor. As our steam mops use only a small amount of
water, it may not be wet enough to rinse off the accumulation that the steam
is bringing to the surface. We suggest rinsing the floor with nothing but 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.
Light & Easy™Steam Mop is
hard to push.
Make sure the steam pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the cleaning pad is excessively dirty. Replace if the pad is too
dirty or wet.
2If there are loose threads on the microfibre cleaning
pad carefully cut the thread with scissors. Don’t pull
on them or cut at the base. (fig. 13)
IMPORTANT: The microfibre cleaning pad may
be very hot from the steam. Use caution when
removing. Let the unit cool for 2-3 minutes.
