4. Setup

4.1 Attaching the Mop Head

Align the mop head with the main body of the steam mop and push firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the mop pad is securely attached to the mop head. The mop head is designed to swivel for easy maneuverability.

4.2 Filling the Water Tank

Locate the water reservoir on the back of the steam mop. Open the cap and carefully fill the reservoir with distilled or demineralized water. Close the cap securely to prevent leaks. Do not overfill.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On

Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Press the 'Steam Control' button on the front of the unit. The indicator light will blink while the unit heats up. Once heated, the light will become solid, indicating it is ready for use.

5.2 Selecting Steam Mode

The Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop offers different steam modes for various cleaning needs. Press the 'Steam Control' button to cycle through the available modes, such as 'Dust' for light cleaning or 'Mop' for deeper cleaning. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

5.3 Cleaning Floors

Once the desired steam mode is selected and the unit is heated, begin moving the mop across the floor surface. The swivel head allows for easy navigation around furniture and into tight spaces. The steam will be released as you move the mop. For stubborn spots, hold the mop over the area for a few seconds to allow the steam to penetrate.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning Mop Pads

After each use, the mop pads should be removed and cleaned. The pads are machine washable. Simply detach the pad from the mop head and place it in your washing machine with similar colors. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

6.2 Detaching the Mop Head

To detach the mop head without touching the dirty pad, locate the release lever or button on the mop head. Squeeze or press it, and the mop head will release, allowing the pad to fall directly into a laundry basket or washing machine.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Steam: Ensure the water tank is filled and the unit is properly plugged in and powered on. Allow sufficient time for the unit to heat up.
• Mop Not Gliding Smoothly: Check if the mop pad is clean and properly attached. Replace the pad if it is excessively dirty or worn.
• Water Leaking: Ensure the water tank cap is securely closed and the mop head is firmly attached.
