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.

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.

area rugs. Just place the mop head with the
cleaning pocket attached into the glider. The
recommended steam setting is HIGH when using
the Carpet Glider. (fig. 11)
2 Move the Steam Mop back and forth across a
section of the carpet. (fig. 12)
5When one side of the cleaning pocket gets
dirty, just flip the mop and you can quickly start
using the other side. Use the shaggy side of the
cleaning pockets to lift up and lock away all the
dirt and debris and the scrubbing side to break
up the tough stain. (fig. 10)
6When 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. Reference the filling
instructions from page 4.

CARE OF YOUR CLEANING POCKET
1We recommend washing your cleaning pocket
separately from other fabrics to avoid picking up
lint. Only use liquid detergent (no powder
detergent). Do not use any fabric softeners
or bleach. For optimal cleaning performance
pockets may need to be washed up to (3) three
times. Line dry. Do not tumble dry. (fig. 16)
2If there are loose threads on the microfibre
cleaning pocket carefully cut the thread with
scissors. Do not pull on them or cut at the base.
(fig. 17)
DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP
Calcium and mineral deposits can build up and
impact the performance of your steam mop over
time.
CLEANING THE NOZZLE
Your steam mop should not normally require
cleaning, however, should you notice a decrease
in the steam output, it may be necessary to
remove mineral deposits built up around the
nozzle.
1Unplug the steam mop from the electrical outlet.
2Use a small diameter stiff metal wire, such as
a straightened metal paperclip, and carefully
insert the end of the wire into the nozzle orifice.
(fig. 18)
3Move the wire back and forth several times to
remove any deposits.
4Plug the steam mop in to the power outlet and
test steam output.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The Shark®Slim
Professional Steam
Pocket®Mop will not turn-
on.
Your steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.
Check your fuse or breaker.
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 9.
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 CONTROL button to select
a steam setting.
The Shark®Slim
Professional Steam
Pocket®Mop leaves water on
the floor.
Check to see if your cleaning pocket is soaked through. We recommend
you unplug the steam mop and change the cleaning pocket.
Make sure the cleaning pocket is attached correctly.
The Shark®Slim
Professional 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
pocket.
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 cleaning pocket might be dirty, change the cleaning pocket.
If you washed the cleaning pocket with powder detergent, then it might
be ruined.
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 steam 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 pocket. 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 Shark®Slim
Professional Steam
Pocket®Mop is hard to push.
Make sure the cleaning pocket is attached correctly.
Check to see if the cleaning pocket is excessively dirty. Replace if the
cleaning pocket is too dirty or wet.
