Getting Started with Your Portable Steam Pocket®
Your Shark® Pro Portable
Steam Pocket® 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
fig. 1
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.
We also recommend you check the use
fig. 2
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.

Use the filling flask and pour water
into the tank. Do not overfill. Replace
the cap on the water tank.
(fig. 2)
NOTE: To prolong the life of your
Portable Steam Pocket®, we
recommend using distilled water.
IMPORTANT: Your Portable Steam
Pocket® needs water to make steam!
Never use your Portable Steam
Pocket® without water in the tank.

Using Your Portable Steam Pocket®
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.

trigger while removing the Direct
Steam Nozzle. Avoid touching the tip
of the Direct Steam Nozzle, as this
will be very hot after steaming.
NOTE: The Portable Steam Pocket®
may continue to emit steam for a few
seconds after the trigger is released.
This is normal, and the steaming will
eventually come to a stop.

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.

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. 12)

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.
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 Portable Steam Pocket® should be securely plugged into a
120V AC electrical outlet only.
The Shark® Pro
Portable Steam
Pocket® 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
Portable Steam Pocket® 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.
The Shark® Pro
Portable Steam
Pocket® leaves water
on surfaces.
Check to see if your micro-fiber cleaning pad is too wet. We
recommend you unplug the Portable Steam Pocket® and
change the micro-fiber cleaning pad.
Make sure the micro-fiber cleaning pad is attached correctly.
Do not leave your Portable Steam Pocket® on the floor with a
damp or wet cleaning pad.
The Shark® Pro
Portable Steam
If you’re using tap water, we recommend switching to
distilled water.
Pocket® left a white
spot on the surface.
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.
This could also be an indication of prior soap or grease residue
that has accumulated on the surfaces. As our Portable Steam
Pockets 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 steaming again with a clean pad.
One or more rinses generally removes the residue.
Surfaces are cloudy,
streaky or spotty
after steaming.
A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a
mix of one part vinegar and two parts water.
