ASSEMBLING YOUR STEAM & SCRUB

STEAM MOP ASSEMBLY

1. Insert the mop handle into the steam mop body until it clicks into place. (fig. 1)
   
2. To attach the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads, place BOTH pads flat on the floor with the plastic rings facing up. Align the indent on the rotating discs on the bottom of the mop head with the plastic rings on the pads, then gently lower the mop head onto the pads, pressing until the pads are secured. (fig. 2)
   
3. To open the water tank, pull the lid down. (fig. 3).
   
4. Use the filling flask to pour distilled water into the tank (fig. 4). Make sure to not exceed the Max Fill line. When finished, close the tank lid firmly.
   

USING YOUR STEAM & SCRUB

NOTE: To prolong the life of your steam mop, we recommend using distilled water.
NOTE: Sweep or vacuum your floors prior to cleaning with your steam mop.

1. Make sure both pads are properly installed before using.
2. Twist the quick-release cord holder to unwrap the power cord completely (fig. 5). Plug into an electrical outlet.
   
3. When it's first plugged in, the unit will be in Standby mode. The 3 settings lights below the mode button will blink to indicate Standby mode.
4. To select the steam mode, press the mode button once for LIGHT, twice for NORMAL, or 3 times for DEEP (fig. 6). Once the mode is selected, tilt the handle down to activate the spinning pads (fig. 7).
   TIP: If the handle is not reclined, the mode selection may time out and pads will not spin.
   TIP: When cleaning near baseboards, edges, or furniture, you may feel a slight pull from the unit making contact with these surfaces. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
   

5. Mop with a forward and backward motion.
6. When finished mopping, press the mode button. The blue settings lights will blink, indicating that the unit is in Standby mode. Once in Standby mode, lift the handle to bring the steam mop back to the upright position and unplug the unit.
7. When the pads have cooled completely, remove them by pulling them off the discs.
8. When the water tank is empty, the unit will stop producing steam. Make sure the unit is unplugged before refilling the water tank.

NOTE: Please wait 2 to 3 minutes for the steam mop to cool off before removing the Dirt Grip pads. NEVER leave the steam mop with damp or wet Dirt Grip pads on any floor for an extended period.

INTELLIGENT STEAM CONTROL

The Shark' Steam & Scrub steam mop has 3 unique 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 spin the fastest and the maximum amount of steam will be produced. See below for tips on when to use each setting.

SETTING	IDEAL FOR THESE SEALED SURFACES	RECOMMENDED USAGE
LIGHT	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
DEEP	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 Sanitizing* floors

TO SANITIZE*:

1. Attach clean Dirt Grip@ Soft Scrub Pads to the scrubbing mop head.
2. Plug in the unit, tilt the mop handle down, and press the mode button to select the DEEP setting. The pads will then start spinning.
3. Wait 30 seconds for the unit to begin producing steam.
4. Start mopping with a forward and backward motion on an appropriate sealed hard floor surface. After three minutes, your unit will be ready to sanitize.
5. Using a forward and backward motion, move the mop head slowly and evenly over the area to be sanitized while applying continuous downward pressure. Slowly repeat at least 15 times.
   *Sanitization studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Household conditions and results may vary. With mop head in DEEP mode.

DIRT GRIPS SOFT SCRUB PADS CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Care
Machine-wash the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads separately with warm water using liquid detergent.
NEVER USE BLEACH, POWDERED DETERGENT, OR FABRIC SOFTENERS as they may damage the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads or leave a coating that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads should be line-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microfiber fabric (fig. 10).
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 (fig. 11).

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.com.
