Tips On How To Use Your Steam  
Cleaner  
Water  
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors  
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket  
(circuit)  
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.  
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage cord should  
be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to  
arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.  
3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power  
supply/electrical outlet.  
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.  
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces  
Use the nylon 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.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY  
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-  
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug  
will only fit into an electrical outlet made for  
a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If  
the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact  
an electrician to replace the outlet. Do  
Efficient Work  
For vertical surfaces, wipe  
always from the top down, in  
this way the dirty water will not  
soil surfaces already cleaned.  
Avoid changing brushes back  
and forth while cleaning. Start  
with the smallest brush to clean  
tight spots and corners first.  
Wipe dirt as soon as possible,  
otherwise it will dry and re-  
adhere to the surface.  
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.  
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of  
the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.  
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 nylon detail brush again  
and re-clean.  
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.  
It is most helpful to always have a  
micro fiber cloth or a terry cloth  
towel or paper towel ready to use  
for removal of moisture and  
residue. 100% white cotton towels  
work best.  
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.  
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 angle  
concentrator/brush adapter with or  
without the nylon detail brush.  
To clean the sink and faucets, use nylon  
detail brush.

Care & Maintenance  
Attaching the Shoulder Strap  
CAUTION: This appliance must  
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.  
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.  
Connecting Points  
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.  
Cleaning the Angle Concentrator:  
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 angle concentrator orifice.  
First ensure that there is water in the tank.  
If tank is empty, fill with water, (we

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.

Attaching a Towel to the  
Floor Brush  
100% white terry cloth towel can be fitted  
on this brush, so as to absorb the dirt and  
protect delicate surfaces.  
FEATURES  
Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner utilizes pressurized steam to remove tough grease,dirt  
and grime. Steam is nature’s purest and most powerful cleaner for safely cleaning all  
hard surfaces in your home without harsh chemicals, thus being perfectly ecological.  
The appliance has various attachments so that it can be used for many purposes such  
as:  
1. Clean upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.  
2. Easy to clean difficult to reach areas with the angle concentrator/brush adapter such  
as faucets, etc.  
3. Ideal for windows, mirrors, glass doors, etc.  
4. Clean fabrics, window coverings, pillows, bedding etc.  
5. Clean hard surface areas such as counters, sinks, shower door tracks, etc.  
Important: Please note that bristles may  
break through thin towels. We recommend  
that two (2) towels, laid one on top of the  
other be used. This will ensure that the  
brush bristles do not break through and  
that the towels will be sufficiently absorbent  
and retain as much dirt as possible.  
Fig. D  
5. Place the corner under the cloth  
holder as shown in Fig. D.  
WARNING: Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard  
surfaces and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft  
plastics, unsealed wood and cold glass. On surfaces that have been  
treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by  
the heat and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood. This could  
cause the wood grain to rise. It is therefore recommended to test an  
isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.  
Very Important: When installing the  
towels to the floor brush, ensure that the  
towels do not cover the front and the back  
of the brush. (See Fig. E)  
CAUTION: Do not plug in the machine during filling. Use a grounded  
receptacle. Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15 amps - Do  
not use an ordinary extension cord.

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.  
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or  
any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance.  
Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap  
water in your area is very hard.
