Getting To Know Your Steam Mop - Shark S3101NZ Owner's Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always remove the microfibre cleaning pad
and wash in warm water with a mild
detergent. Never use bleach or fabric
softener when washing the reusable
microfibre cleaning pad. The microfibre
cleaning pad may be washed in a washing
machine and dried in a clothes drier on low
heat. We recommend that you air dry.
IMPORTANT
: Be careful when machine
washing or drying with mixed fabrics as
microfibre pads will pick up lint from other
fabrics and the hook and latch strips will
stick to other garments. We recommend
washing the microfibre cleaning pads
separately or placing them in a garment
bag first.
CAUTION:
Never store the steam mop
with a wet or damp microfibre cleaning
pad still attached as this will damage
your floors.
Care & Maintenance of the
Microfibre Cleaning Pad
Due to the unique cleaning ability of this
pad, proper care of your microfibre
cleaning pad is required to ensure long
life and continued cleaning ability.
•  The first thing you should do when you
get a new microfibre cleaning pad is
to wash and dry it. During the
manufacturing process the fabric has
a tendency to become flat as it picks
up contaminants from the air and
machinery. There will also be a number
of loose threads that, while they cause
no harm, can be annoying the first time
you use the pad.
•  To wash the microfibre cleaning pad,
simply put it in your washing machine
using the warm water setting.
•  We recommend washing your
microfibre cleaning pads separately from
other fabrics or placing them in a
garment bag first. They have a
tendency to pick up lint and other
particles from other fabrics and the
next time you use your microfibre
cleaning pad, this lint will transfer to
the surface being cleaned.
•  ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS,
never use dry detergents as many
times the granules do not fully
dissolve and become trapped in the
cleaning pad. This can scratch the
surface that you are cleaning.
•  NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC
SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the
microfibre fabric and fabric softeners
deposit a coating on the microfibre
fabric what will not allow the pad to
clean efficiently.
•  We recommend that you air dry the
microfibre cleaning pad. If using a
clothes dryer, do not put on a high
heat setting as high heat will cause the
microfibre pad to shrink and the
microfibres to break down.
•  Wash the microfibre cleaning pads
regularly and don't allow them get too
dirty so that they will last much longer.
As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease
and other contaminants can cause the
fibres to break down, therefore regular
cleaning will help preserve your
microfibre cleaning pads.
•  As you use the microfibre cleaning
pad, you will notice that sometimes a
thread will loosen or pull out. This is
normal and you should NEVER PULL
AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the
thread can cause the weave to come
undone. Instead, simply trim the thread
with a pair of sharp scissors.
Helpful Hints
1. Always vacuum or sweep before using
the steam mop.
2. The easiest way to use the steam mop
is to tilt the ergonomic handle to a 45°
angle and clean slowly.
3. Hand wash or machine wash the
microfibre cleaning pad in a delicate
cycle with a mild liquid detergent.
4. We recommend air drying the microfibre
cleaning pads for 24 hours, but they
could be dried in a dryer on a low heat
setting.
5. A good amount of steam passes
through the microfibre cleaning pad.
We recommend that the cleaning pad
be changed when it gets too wet. These
need to be replaced as necessary.
6. To remove stubborn stains from vinyl
or linoleum floors, pre-treat with a mild
detergent and some water before using
the steam mop.
IMPORTANT:
Never leave the steam
mop in one spot on any surface for any
period of time with a damp or wet
microfibre cleaning pad attached as this
will damage your floors.
