Getting Started With Your
Handheld Steamer
Your Shark® Lift-Away™ Pro
Steam Pocket® Mop is designed to clean
surfaces that will withstand high heat
and moisture. Do not use on unsealed
wood surfaces (especially wooden
antique furniture), unglazed ceramic
tile, painted surfaces or surfaces that
have been treated with wax, oils,
varnishes, or shellac. The sheen may be
removed by the heat, steam, and friction
of the cleaning tools. Lacquer and
polyurethane coatings provide a hard
durable protective finish that withstands
moisture, but it is always recommended
to test an isolated area of the surface to
be cleaned before proceeding.
fig. 15
We also recommend you check the use
and care instructions from the surface
manufacturer.
When cleaning finished wood surfaces,
use broad, continuous cleaning strokes.
To prevent surface damage, avoid
focusing steam or allowing the cleaning
tools to sit in one spot for any amount
of time.
When assembling your Shark®
Lift-Away™ Pro Steam Pocket®, there
may be a little water in the water tank.
This is because we test all our cleaning
systems 100% before you buy them, so
you get a quality Shark® Steam product.
IMPORTANT: Before removing the
Handheld Steamer from the steam
mop housing, make sure that the unit
is not actively steaming. The ON/
STANDBY button should be flashing
blue. If the ON/STANDBY button is
solid blue, then press the button until
it returns to flashing blue.
NOTE: While the Shark® Lift-Away™
Pro Steam Pocket® Mop will operate
in one of three steam meetings in the
mop mode, your Handheld Steamer
is programmed to function on just
one steam setting. This setting

cleaning and garment steaming.

Using Your Handheld Steamer
with Direct Steam Nozzle
Cleaning Tip: The Direct Steam Nozzle creates direct steam spray to clean and
sanitize hard to reach nooks & crannies and other places where germs may build
up. Use the Direct Steam nozzle to loosen and dislodge compact dirt often found
in corners and tight places where traditional methods and cleaning tools tend to
push dirt into, making it tough to reach and clean. Spray direct steam and wipe
clean with a wet cloth or paper towel.

Using Your Handheld Steamer
with Garment Steamer
Cleaning Tip: The Garment Steamer is ideal for removing wrinkles from clothing and
freshening and grooming upholstery. A terry bonnet and frame with bristles provides
controlled steaming for most types of clothing. A specialized micro-fiber bonnet is
ideal for freshening couches and other upholstery, where odors may accumulate.

Steamer to the Handheld Steamer

CAUTION: Always determine color
fastness of any fabric, especially with
reds or blues. Taking a clean, moist,
warm towel and gently rubbing a
small area on the fabric that is as
out of sight and out of the way as
possible. If color bleeds onto the
towel, you may need to have the
piece professionally cleaned.
Press and hold the steam trigger
button, and move slowly up and
down over your garments or
upholstery. While the steam trigger
button is pressed and held down, the
ON/STANDBY button light will be

STANDBY button light will return to
flashing blue. (fig. 20)

Select either the thinner, terry cloth
bonnet to steam your garments,
or the thicker, shaggier bonnet to
freshen upholstery.
CAUTION: Do not press steam
trigger while attaching or removing
the Garment Steamer.

Use the lavender loop on the side of
the bonnet to slide over the nozzle
opening of the Garment Steamer.
The elastic around the bonnet should
hold it firmly in place around the
Garment Steamer opening. (fig. 18)

When you have finished using the
Handheld Steamer, reattach it to the
mop by first placing the bottom of
the Handheld Steamer into the cradle
of the mop housing. (fig. 21)
Remove the micro-fiber cleaning pad
by releasing the quick fasteners and
using the lavender loop on the side
of the pocket, avoiding contact with
the hot pad. (fig. 22)

Then slide the top end of the
Handheld Steamer into the mop
housing and snap into place.

Empty the water tank before
storage. Remove the water tank cap
and empty the tank over a sink.
Replace the water cap. (fig. 23)
NOTE: Make sure all attachments
are removed before reuniting the
Handheld Steamer with the
steam mop.
To store the Shark® Lift-Away™ Pro
Steam Pocket® Mop hanging up, first
remove the head (after it has cooled
and the steam has been released)
then hang on a large hook. (fig. 24)

If you are also done mopping, press
the ON/STANDBY button until the
LED light turns flashing blue. This
stops the unit from steaming. Unplug
the cord from the outlet and place the
mop into the upright position. Let the

CARE OF YOUR MICRO-FIBER
CLEANING PAD
CLEANING THE NOZZLE
1
Your Handheld Steamer should not
normally require cleaning, however,
should you notice a decrease in the
steam output, it may be necessary
to remove mineral deposits built up
around the nozzles.
1
We recommend washing your
micro-fiber cleaning pads separately
from other fabrics to avoid picking
up lint. Only use liquid detergent
(no powder detergent). Do not use
any fabric softeners or bleach. Line
dry or dry on a low dryer setting.
(fig. 25)

3
Unplug the cleaner from the
electrical outlet.
Use the provided nozzle cleaner or a
small diameter stiff metal wire, such
as a straightened metal paperclip,
and carefully insert the end of the
wire into the nozzle orifice. See
illustration above. (fig. 27)
2
If there are loose threads on the
micro-fiber cleaning pad carefully
cut the thread with scissors. Don’t
pull on them or cut at the base.
(fig. 26)
IMPORTANT: The micro-fiber
cleaning pad may be very hot
from the steam. Use caution when
removing. Let the unit cool for 2-3
minutes.
4 Move the wire back and forth several
times to remove any deposits.
5
Plug in the appliance to the power
outlet and test steam output.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Your steam mop should be securely plugged into a
120V AC electrical outlet only.
The Shark® Lift-Away™
Pro Steam Pocket®
Mop will not turn-on.
Check your fuse or breaker.
If your unit still does not work, call 1-800-798-7398.
Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your steam
mop following instructions on page 4.
The unit will not
make steam.
If the unit still does not make steam, follow the instructions on
page 13 to clean the nozzle.
If you have already plugged in your unit, unplug and try a
different outlet. This may reset the standby mode.
Cannot select steam
setting/flashing blue
light remains on.
Add water to the tank and select steam setting by pressing the
standby button.
If your unit still does not work, call Customer care at
1-800-798-7398.
The Shark® Lift-Away™
Pro Steam Pocket®
Mop leaves water
on the floor.
Check to see if your micro-fiber cleaning pad is too wet. We
recommend you unplug the steam mop and change the
micro-fiber cleaning pad.
Make sure the micro-fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Do not leave your steam mop on the floor with a damp or
wet cleaning pad.
The Shark® Lift-Away™
Pro Steam Pocket®
Mop left a white spot
on the floor.
If you’re using tap water we recommend switching
to distilled water.
Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.
The micro-fiber cleaning pad might be dirty. Flip or change the
cleaning pad.
If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent, then it
might be ruined. Replacement pads are available at
sharkclean.com.
Floors are cloudy,
streaky or spotty
after steaming.
This could also be an indication of prior soap or grease residue
that has accumulated on the floor. As our steam mops use only
a small amount of water, it may not be wet enough to rinse off
the accumulation that the steam is bringing to the surface. We
suggest rinsing the floor with nothing but water, letting it dry,
and then steam mopping again with a clean pad. One or more
rinses generally removes the residue.
A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a
mix of one part vinegar and two parts water.
The Shark® Lift-Away™
Pro Steam Pocket®
Mop is hard to push.
Make sure the micro-fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Check to see if the cleaning pad is excessively dirty. Replace if
the cleaning pad is too dirty or wet.
The small steam bonnet frame must be in place at all times
during usage. The bonnet prevents water drops from being left
on the garment and removes impurities from your water.
The nozzle leaves
water drops on
the garment.
If the steam bonnet is too wet or the frame has condensation,
let the unit cool for 30 minutes, remove the steam bonnet and
let it dry out before using again, or replace with a new
steam bonnet.
