IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • HOUSEHOLD USE ONLYThis steam mop has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. It is not recommended to use an extension cord with this product.

WARNINGTO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGSWHEN USING YOUR SHARK® STEAM & SCRUB, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
DO NOT leave the steam mop unattended when plugged in. ALWAYS unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.
DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug. If steam mop is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to SharkNinja Operating LLC for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury when the steam mop is used.
To protect against a risk of electric shock, DO NOT immerse the steam mop in water or any other liquids.
DO NOT handle the plug or steam mop with wet hands or operate it without wearing shoes.
DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run steam mop over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To unplug, grasp the plug not the power cord. DO NOT use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current-carrying capacity.
Unplug before servicing.
ALWAYS make sure the steam mop is UNPLUGGED when not in use.
NEVER fill the steam mop or attach the mop head when the steam mop is plugged into an electrical outlet. Unplug from the electrical outlet and allow to cool before you fill the mop, or attach or remove the head.
When cleaning the exterior of the steam mop, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and clean the steam mop with a dry or damp cloth. DO NOT pour water or use alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner on the steam mop.
To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam mop.
To avoid scalding injuries, ALWAYS unplug and allow the steam mop to cool before removing or changing mop heads, accessories, or Dirt Grip® pads.USE WARNINGS

DO NOT use on leather, wax polished furniture, synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
DO NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils, or any other chemicals to the water used in the steam mop as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use. If you live in a hard-water area, we recommend using distilled water in your steam mop.

ALWAYS 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.
DO NOT scrub any one area for an extended period.
DO NOT use the steam mop without attaching the Dirt Grip® pads and adding water to the water tank. When you use the steam mop for the first time, it might take longer than the normal 30 seconds to start steaming.

DIRT GRIP® SOFT SCRUB PADS CARE INSTRUCTIONSCareMachine-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 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

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, waiting for a few moments to allow the pads to cool, then reinstall the Dirt Grip Soft Scrub Pads.

Turn the steam mop off, unplug it, and remove the pads.2. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.3. Reinstall the pads. Plugin the steam mop, select your steam mode and begin cleaning.
