USAGE SUGGESTIONS FOR SHARK STEAM BLASTER  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using your Shark Steam Blaster, basic safety precautions should always  
be observed, including the following:  
Important User Information  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or  
injury:  
1. Read all instructions before using your  
Shark Steam Blaster.  
2. Use the system only for its intended use.  
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,  
do not immerse any part of the system in  
water or other liquids.  
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from  
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to  
disconnect.  
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.  
Let the system cool completely before  
putting away. Use “Cord Storage Hooks” for  
power cord.  
Please note that this steam cleaner has a “flow through injection” type boiler  
and is not a pressurized system. It will take approximately 45-90 seconds for  
the steam injector to heat up and the “steam ready light” to go off. Once the  
steam ready light has gone off, push the steam switch on the handgrip to the  
“On” position (I) in order to start the steam flow. Steam power will steadily  
increase during the first four (4) minutes of use, after which time steam output  
will stabilize. Some steam will condense around the floor brush when in use  
and will cause hard surfaces to become wet during the cleaning process, this  
is normal.  
Do not leave the Shark Steam Blaster  
plugged in when unattended. Unplug the  
electrical cord when not in use and before  
servicing or refilling water tank.  
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close  
attention is necessary when used by or near  
children, pets or plants.  
Use only as described in this manual. Use  
only manufacturer’s recommended  
accessories.  
Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close  
a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp  
edges or corners. Keep cord away from  
heated surfaces.  
6. Always disconnect system from electrical  
outlet when filling or emptying water tank  
and when not in use.  
Tips On How To Use Your  
System  
Water  
• Using scented fabric softener while  
washing the towels will cause the  
scent to be released into the air when  
using the towels with your steam  
Do not use extension cords or outlets with  
inadequate current carrying capacity.  
Turn off all controls as applicable before  
unplugging from electrical outlet.  
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,  
grasp the plug, not the cord.  
Do not handle plug or steam cleaner with wet  
hands or operate without shoes.  
Do not put any objects into openings. Do not  
use with any opening blocked.  
Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry  
area.  
Keep your work area well lit.  
When in use, never turn the appliance over  
or on its side. Never direct steam towards  
people, animals or plants.  
Do not immerse the steam cleaner into water  
or other liquids. Always unplug the power  
cord from the electrical socket when filling the  
steam cleaner.  
7. Do not operate the system with a damaged  
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other  
part of the system has been dropped or  
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric  
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to  
repair the Shark Steam Blaster. Return  
the system to EURO-PRO Operating LLC  
(see warranty) for examination and repair.  
Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a  
risk of electrical shock or injury to persons  
when the Shark Steam Blaster is used.  
8. Close supervision is necessary for any  
appliance being used by or near children.  
Do not leave the system unattended while  
connected.  
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal  
parts, hot water or steam. Do not turn  
upside down as there may be hot water in  
the unit. Never direct steam at any person.  
The steam is very hot and can cause burns.  
10. Do not operate in the presence of  
explosive and/or flammable fumes.  
11. This appliance is intended only for  
household use. Follow all user instructions  
in this manual.  
Use tap water for all your cleaning  
needs, however, if you live in an area  
with hard water, use  
system.  
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors  
Use the floor brush with a 100% cotton  
terry cloth attached, ( see page 7 for  
details). Move the brush slowly in back  
and forth motions. When the towel is  
soiled, you can turn the towel over or  
replace it with a clean towel. If you are  
working on a very dirty area, we  
recommend that you move the brush  
over the area slowly, several times. If it  
is a wood floor, do NOT leave the unit  
stationary for any length of time to avoid  
heat or moisture build-up in the wood.  
By cleaning with the towel over the  
brush, you will not affect the shine on the  
floor.  
To Clean Waxed Floors: Install a clean  
towel(s) on the floor brush, work quickly.  
The towel will absorb the dirt but not  
remove the wax.  
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to buildup  
in any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it  
enough to affect its texture. Work quickly  
on vinyl. Use two (2) towels on floor brush.  
demineralized/distilled water.  
Important: Do NOT add cleaning  
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any  
other chemicals to the water used in  
this appliance. Use tap water or  
distilled/purified water if the tap  
water in your area is very hard.  
Temperature  
• The vapor temperature at the tip of  
the nozzle is between 220°F and 240°F.  
• The temperature of the vapor falls to  
100 °F at a distance of 10 inches from  
the nozzle.  
CAUTION: A towel wrapped around the  
brush can become hot enough to burn.  
Make sure that you let the towel cool off  
before touching it or changing it.  
Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented  
perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to  
the water used in this appliance as this  
may damage the unit or make it unsafe for  
use. Use tap water or distilled/purified  
water if the tap water in your area is very hard.  
Using Towels  
12. Never use any chemicals or substance  
other than tap water in the machine. Use of  
chemicals may damage the machine. Use  
of chemicals will automatically void your  
warranty.  
Note: We strongly recommend the  
use of two (2) 100 % cotton towels  
layered one on top of the other.  
• For best results use 100% cotton white  
terry cloth towels.  
• Use correct size (8” x 17”) of towel to  
allow you to wrap the towel over the  
ends of the brush and clip it under the  
spring loaded towel clips.  
• The purpose of using towels is to  
absorb the moisture and dirt being  
removed. Always use dry towels. A  
wet towel will smear the dirt.  
• Wash towels with strong detergent  
and bleach.  
Tile Floors: For tile and marble floors only,  
if there is an area of the floor which is  
excessively dirty, you may remove the  
towels and agitate the area with the brush  
bristles directly. Do not let the area dry.  
Wipe immediately with a clean cloth. Re-  
clean with brush and towels in place.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Note: Do not use steam cleaner on  
hardwood or vinyl floor without towels  
installed on the floor brush.

(toilet, taps, joints between tiles); the concentrated jet of steam is able to  
remove stubborn, ingrained dirt.  
NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
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  
nozzle orifice. First ensure that there is water in the tank.  
If tank is empty, fill with water, (we recommend using purified  
or mineral 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 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.  
5. THE DETAIL BRUSH is combined with the concentrator by inserting  
over the tip of the concentrator.  
6. THE WINDOW SQUEEGEE has two rubber edges, a scrubber edge and  
wiping edge, for cleaning windows and mirrors. When cleaning outside  
windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent  
breakage or cracks.
