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. Liquid or steam must not be directed towards
equipment containing electrical components,
such as the interior of ovens.
19. When in use, NEVER turn the appliance over

TOWARDS PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR
PLANTS.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE STEAM MOP
IN ONE SPOT ON ANY SURFACE
FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME WHEN

YOUR FLOORS.
21. Always unplug and allow the steam mop to
cool before removing the mop head.

IMPORTANT: Always make sure the mop
is UNPLUGGED from the wall when not in
use. Never fill the mop, attach the mop head,
or change or remove the Sonic Lift™cleaning
pad when the mop is plugged into the wall. To
prolong the life of your Shark®Sonic Steam
Pocket™Mop, we recommend using distilled
water. Make sure you only add water to the
tank. The addition of chemicals or cleaning
solutions may damage the appliance and could
be unsafe for you and your family.
ASSEMBLE
1Insert the mop handle into the main body of the
steam mop (into the tube that leads to the tank).
Push the mop handle and main body of the
steam mop together until you hear it “click” into
place. (Fig. 1)
2Fit one side of the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad onto
the head first, making sure that the scrubbing
side is facing down, then using the lavender loop,
pull the pocket over the head. Attach the hook
and loop quick fasteners on the top of the pocket
to secure in place. (Fig. 2)
3Snap the mop head into the mop body by lining
up the groove on the back of the mop body with
the groove on the back of the mop head. Push
until you hear it “click” into place. (Fig. 3)

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.

Using Your Sonic Steam Pocket™Mop
IMPORTANT: Do not use the mop without
attaching a cleaning pad and adding water
to the tank first. When you are using the mop
for the first time, it might take longer than the
normal 30 seconds to start steaming. Just pump
the handle a few times in a downward motion to
prime the pump.
2Pump the handle a few times in a downward
motion. This pumping action will release steam
as you mop and allows you to customise the
amount of steam you want. Begin mopping with
a forward and backward motion. The natural
motion of mopping will produce steam. (Fig. 8)
NOTE: The steam mop is on when it is plugged
in. Unplug when you want to turn it off.
NOTE: The Sonic Agitation On/Off button is
only for activating the sonic agitation function of
the steam mop. It does not turn the appliance on
or off.
NOTE: Make sure the floors are swept or
vacuumed before using the Sonic Steam
Pocket™Mop.
1Pull and twist the quick release cord holder to
unwrap the power cord completely. (Fig. 6)
Plug into an electrical outlet. The Power “On”
Light around the Sonic Agitation button will turn
blue. (Fig. 7)
It takes approximately 30 seconds for the mop to
heat up and the steam to be ready.

Using Sonic Agitation
Use the Sonic Agitation feature and the scrubbing
side of the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad to clean tough,
dried on stains faster and easier.
3Press the Sonic On/Off button to turn on the sonic
scrub. (Fig. 9)
4Use the scrubbing side of the Sonic Lift™cleaning
pad to break up the tough stains and then turn the
mop head around to use the shaggy side of the
Sonic Lift™cleaning pad to lift up and lock away all
of the dirt and debris. (Fig. 10)
NOTE: For deeper cleaning/sanitisation of
household bacteria such as e-coli, salmonella, or
StaphA., the area in question must be cleaned
continuously for 30 seconds (or 30 back and forth
strokes).
5When the water tank is empty, the Sonic Steam
Pocket™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.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the Sonic Steam
Pocket™Mop with a damp/wet Sonic Lift™
cleaning pad on any floor surface for any amount
of time as this may damage the floor.

Using the Carpet Glider
1The Carpet Glider can be used with the All-
Purpose Head to lightly steam your carpet and
area rugs. Just place the mop head with the
Sonic Lift™cleaning pad (shaggy side down)
attached into the glider. (Fig. 11)
2 Move the steam mop back and forth across a
section of the carpet. (Fig. 12)
fig. 11
fig. 12
The steam mop will not clean your carpeting
or area rugs. However, it is great for grooming
and freshening.
The Sonic Lift™cleaning pad has two different
cleaning sides. One side has nylon scrubbers to
break up tough stains and the other side is a shaggy
cleaning pad to lift up and lock away dirt and debris.

Care and Maintenance
2 Remove the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad by
releasing the hook and loop fasteners and
using the lavender loop on the side of the
pocket to pull off. Avoid contact with the hot
pad or dirt. Then empty the water tank.
(Fig. 13)
3To store the Shark®Sonic 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. 14)
NOTE: If you want to store it standing upright,
then make sure it’s leaning against a wall for
added support and safety. Always store your
Sonic Steam Pocket™Mop with the Sonic
Lift™cleaning pad removed and away from
children or high traffic areas.
AFTER USE AND STORAGE
1When you have finished using the Sonic
Steam Pocket™Mop, unplug the cord from
the outlet and let the unit cool 2-3 minutes.
Release the residual steam by pumping the
handle several times before removing the Sonic
Lift™cleaning pad from the mop head.

fig. 14
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.
Do not tumble dry. (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.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Sonic Steam Pocket™
Mop will not turn on.
Your Sonic Steam Pocket™Mop should be securely plugged into an electrical
outlet only.
Check your fuse or breaker.
Sonic Steam Pocket™
Mop will not make steam.
Prime the pump, see page 5 for more information.
Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your Sonic Steam Pocket™
Mop following instructions on page 4.
Sonic Steam Pocket™
Mop leaves water on the floor.
Check to see if the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is too wet. We recommend you unplug
the Sonic Steam Pocket™Mop and change the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad.
Make sure the Sonic Lift™cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Do not leave your Sonic Steam Pocket™Mop on the floor with a damp or wet
cleaning pad.
Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.
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.
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
.
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
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.
