Diagram Description: The mop head is shown being lowered onto two circular pads placed on the floor.

3. Fill the Water Tank

Diagram Description: The water tank is shown being detached from the mop body, and then the fill cap is opened for water to be added.

Note: Adding chemicals or cleaning solutions (including vinegar) may damage the steam mop and could be unsafe for you, your family and your pets.

Diagram Description: A hand is shown pressing the Mode Button on the mop handle, with indicator lights visible.

3. Activate Spinning Pads

Diagram Description: The mop handle is shown being tilted downwards, indicating activation of the mop head's spinning function.

4. Activate Steam Blaster

To activate the Steam Blaster, press the spray trigger on the handle to blast away tough stains.

Diagram Description: A hand is shown pressing the spray trigger on the mop handle.

Intelligent Steam Control

The Shark Steam Mop has 3 intelligent Steam Control settings so you can select the ideal amount of steam to use for each cleaning task. In NORMAL mode, the pads will spin faster, and more steam will be produced than in LIGHT mode. In DEEP mode, the pads will be spinning the fastest and the maximum amount of steam will be produced. Press the Mode button to select the steam level.

SETTING	IDEAL FOR THESE SEALED SURFACES	RECOMMENDED USAGE
DEEP	Laminate Hardwood Vinyl	Cleaning delicate surfaces Light cleaning and dusting Loosening and lifting light dirt
NORMAL	Marble Tile Stone	Basic, everyday cleaning. Cleaning large areas. Cleaning moderate and heavy-traffic areas.
LIGHT	Marble Tile Stone	Reaching hard-to-clean surfaces. Tough cleaning and removing stuck-on messes and stains. Deep cleaning heavy-traffic areas. Cutting through heavy dirt and grime and sanitising* floors.

Steam Blaster

To target tough messes with an extra burst of cleaning power, move the front of the nozzle 5 to 10 centimeters from the mess, then press and hold the Steam Blaster button as needed. (Hold longer for the toughest messes.) Before scrubbing, wait 5 seconds to let the steam blast penetrate the mess. Tip: For more difficult messes, allow 20 seconds or more.

Diagram Description: The mop head is shown positioned close to a floor stain, with an arrow indicating the activation of the Steam Blaster.

To Sanitize Floors*

Attach clean Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads to the scrubbing mop head.
Plug in the unit, tilt the mop handle down towards you, and press the mode button to select the NORMAL setting. The pads will then start spinning.
Wait at least 20 seconds for the unit to begin producing steam.
To ready the unit for sanitisation, start mopping with a forward and backward motion on an appropriate sealed hard floor surface. After three minutes, your unit will be ready to sanitise.
Move the mop head slowly and evenly over the area to be sanitised while applying continuous downward pressure. Slowly repeat, making sure to cover the entire area to be sanitised with at least 15 strokes.

*Sanitisation studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Be certain to follow all directions for use carefully to fully sanitise with mop head set in the NORMAL mode.

Caring For Your Steam and Scrub Mop

After Use and Storage

Press the mode button until the settings lights start to blink, indicating that you are in Standby mode. Unplug the cord from the socket and place the steam mop into the upright position. Allow it to cool completely.
When the pads have cooled completely, remove them by pulling them off the discs. Watch out for sharp edges to avoid hurting your fingers.
After the unit has cooled and the steam has been released, empty the water tank before storing. Open the tank lid and pour the water out into a sink or bathtub. After all the water has drained out, close the lid.
To store the steam mop, wait until after it has cooled and the steam has been released. Lock the steam mop in an upright standing position by raising the handle until the pole is standing straight up, perpendicular to the ground. With the unit locked in the upright standing position, store it in a dry, protected area (e.g., in a closet or the corner of a room) until next use.

Diagram Description: The steam mop is shown in an upright, cooled-down position. Another diagram shows the pads being removed from the mop head. A third diagram shows the water tank being emptied.

Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads Care Instructions

Care Machine-wash the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads separately with warm water, using liquid detergent. Do not clean pads in a dishwasher, as some detergents may cause the pads to leave streak marks on the floor.

NEVER USE BLEACH, POWDERED DETERGENT, OR FABRIC SOFTENERS This will damage the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads or leave a coating that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. The pads should be line-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric.

Loose fibers can indicate wearing of the microfiber fabric. DO NOT pull the loose fibers, as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim the loose fibers with scissors.

Diagram Description: A Dirt Grip pad is shown being machine washed. Another diagram shows loose fibers on a pad being trimmed with scissors.

Replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads

For best cleaning results, we recommend replacing the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads every 3 to 4 months following normal use. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease, friction, and repeated washing can cause the fibers to break down, and you may notice an increase in the effort needed to push or pull the mop.

You can purchase replacement Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads and other accessories by visiting sharkclean.co.uk.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
The steam mop isn't producing any steam.	The steam mop should be securely plugged into an electrical socket. Check your fuse or circuit breaker or try a different socket. Make sure the water tank is full, the unit is plugged in, and the mode button is illuminated. If the settings lights are off, try a different electrical socket. If the settings lights are blinking, press the mode button to select a steam setting. If the settings lights are illuminated steadily, wait 20 seconds for the unit to warm up. If after following the above steps the steam mop still does not produce any steam, contact Customer Service at 0800 862 0453 or visit sharkclean.co.uk.
The steam mop is producing intermittent steam.	This is normal. For more consistent steam, select the NORMAL setting. Also make sure the water tank is full.
I can't select a steam setting.	Make sure the steam mop is plugged in and the settings lights are flashing. If your steam mop is producing steam but the settings lights are off, call Customer Service at 0800 862 0453.
Floors are cloudy, streaky, or spotty after steaming.	The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads might be dirty. Install a clean set of pads. If you washed the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads with powdered detergent, then they could be damaged and require replacement. Due to accumulated soap or grease residue, the floor may require several cleanings with the steam mop. A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar and two parts water* (but DO NOT put any cleaning solution into the steam mop's water tank). *Please consult your flooring manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions before applying any cleaning products or solutions.
It's hard to push or pull the mop.	The mop might be hard to push or pull if the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads aren't wet enough. It should get easier to move the mop across the floor after it's been running for a few minutes. Overly dirty pads could also make it harder to push or pull the mop. We recommend using clean pads.
Rotating discs are not turning or are wobbling.	The steam mop may be in the upright position. Tilt the handle down to use the mop. The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads may not be centered. Turn the power OFF, unplug the steam mop, wait for a few moments to allow the pads to cool, then reinstall the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads.
The steam mop is vibrating or wobbling.	The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads are not centered on the rotating discs. Turn the power OFF and unplug the unit, and wait for the pads to cool. Follow the instructions in the Assembling Your Steam & Scrub section to reinstall the pads.
The steam mop turns off on its own.	If your steam mop shuts off while in use, it likely needs to cool down. Perform the following steps before you restart cleaning: 1. Turn the steam mop off, unplug it, and remove pads. 2. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes. 3. Reinstall the pads. Plug in the steam mop, select a steam mode, and begin cleaning.
