Use tap water for all your cleaning 

needs.

•

However, if you live in an area with 

hard water, use demineralized/ 

distilled water when steaming light 

colored fabrics to eliminate the 

possibility of hard water stains.

Do NOT add cleaning 

solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any 

other chemicals to the water used in 

this appliance. Use tap water or

Hints
The Portable Shark Steam Cleaner 

has many uses many of which will not 

be mentioned in this owner's manual.  

This is meant only to give you a 

general idea of what can be achieved 

with the unit.  However, the ways in 

which to use the units and the 

brushes are in most cases universal.  

You can clean the brushes with your 

steam cleaner. When cleaning the 

detail brush, use a pair of pliers to 

hold the brush or place in the basket 

of your dishwasher.

Note: Wipe immediately before the 

cleaned area dries.  When cleaning 

the oven, use the detail brush to clean 

around the elements, drip trays, 

cracks, crevices, and hard to reach 

areas.

Cleaning the Concentrator Nozzles:
Your steamer should not normally require 

cleaning, however, should you notice a 

marked decrease in steam output it may be 

necessary to remove mineral deposit build-

up from the concentrator nozzle orifice.  

First ensure that there is water in the tank. 

If tank is empty, fill with water, (we 

recommend using purified or demineralized 

water), then re-start unit noting whether 

steam output is normal.  If steam output is 

still low, follow these cleaning instructions:

1. Unplug steam cleaner from wall outlet.

2. Use a small diameter stiff metal wire 

such as a straightened metal paperclip 

and carefully insert the end of the wire 

into the concentrator nozzle orifice. 

3. Move wire back and forth several 

times to remove any deposits.

4. Reconnect appliance to power outlet, 

switch on and note steam output.

5. If steam performance does not 

improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.

Using the detachable 

shoulder strap allows 

for greater freedom of 

movement when both 

hands are needed for 

various cleaning tasks. 

To attach the shoulder 

strap to the steam 

cleaner, simply 

snap the shoulder 

strap hooks onto the 

connecting rings on the 

unit body. When using 

the steam cleaner 

with the shoulder strap, 

avoid rocking or tilting 

the unit excessively as 

this may cause water to 

enter the hose and be 

discharged along with the steam.

5. Place the corner under the cloth 

holder as shown in Fig. D.

6. Place the towel around the brush, 

and repeat folding the towel as shown

in Fig. E.  When folding the towel, 

leave some slack.  Do not pull tightly 

around the brush, leave some 

looseness.

CAUTION: This appliance must be 

unplugged from the electrical outlet  and 

allowed to cool down before performing 

any cleaning or maintenance tasks on 

the unit.

•

Let the appliance cool down 

completely before cleaning or storing.

•

Depress the trigger before opening 

the safety cap in order to release any 

residual pressure in the boiler.

•

Empty all water from the water tank 

after each use.

•

Store in a dry, cool place.

•

A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner 

will free it from deposits. This is 

recommended every 10-15 tankfulls 

to free up any scale deposits. Fill the 

boiler with water and shake 

vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside 

down to empty the boiler of water and 

any scale deposits.

Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the window squeegee.  Work with the 

steam on using top to bottom movements.  

Use the squeegee with the steam to clear 

the water from the glass.  To do this without 

leaving streaks, use lateral movements 

from the top to the bottom of the surface.

Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the detail brush.  Slowly move the 

brush over the surface to be cleaned.  

The steam will emulsify the dirt and 

grease on the surface.  Follow behind 

with a 100% cotton towel to remove 

excess moisture and residue.

Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless 

steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda 

water after it is cleaned.

Soap Scum
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately 

under a combination of heat and 

moisture. Rinse the surface with a small 

amount of water afterwards.

Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop 

a hard surface from waterborne minerals.  

If this is the case, use the detail brush to 

break up this surface - or spray or wipe 

first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda 

water to soften the minerals.

Moving too slowly can dry out the soap 

scum and cause it to granulate on the 

surface.  The surface will have a gritty 

feel.  If this happens, apply vapor to the 

surface with the detail brush again and re-

clean.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use 

the detail brush for grout, shower door 

tracks, hard to get areas and heavily 

soiled areas.  The window squeegee will 

be the most efficient way to clean the rest 

of the area. Allow plenty of time for the 

heat to penetrate the surface.  This is 

especially helpful in the shower area if 

there is tile or grout.

To clean sanitary fixtures, use 

concentrator nozzle with or without detail 

brush.

To clean the sink and faucets, use detail 

brush.
