equipment containing electrical components, such as
the interior of ovens.
19 DO NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes,
oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this

22 Carefully remove the cleaning pocket immediately
after you have unplugged and allowed the steam
mop to cool.
23 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.

appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam
cleaner.
29 If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an
extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere,
2.08mm2(14 AWG) cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should be

tripped over.
30 DO NOT leave unattended when the system is
connected to a power supply or electrical outlet. Turn
off all controls before unplugging the unit.

33 Make sure that the water tank door is closed when
using the appliance.
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.

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®Professional SLIM Steam Pocket®Mop.
ASSEMBLE
1Insert the Mop handle end labeled “Front” into
the steam mop body. Make sure it is inserted past
the line printed on the pole. Secure the assembled
handle and pole by using the large screw and a

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)
2 If there are loose threads on the 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)
3 Move the wire back and forth several times to
remove any deposits.
4 Plug the steam mop in to the power outlet and test
steam output.
2Empty the water tank before storage. Open the water
tank door and empty the tank over a sink. Close the
water cap. (fig. 14)
3To store the Shark®Professional SLIM 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. 15)
AFTER USE AND STORAGE
1When you have finished using the steam mop, press
the STEAM CONTROL button 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 cleaning pocket by releasing the quick
fasteners and using the lavender loop on the side of
the pocket, avoiding contact with the hot pocket or
dirt. (fig. 13)

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The Professional SLIM
Steam Pocket®Mop will not
turn-on.
Your steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical outlet only.
Check your fuse or breaker.
If your unit still does not work, give us a call at: Freephone 0800 862 0453.
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.
If your unit still does not work, call 0800 862 0453.
The Professional SLIM
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 Professional SLIM
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 Professional SLIM
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.
