WHEN USING YOUR SHARK® PORTABLE STEAM POCKET, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE STEAM POCKET.
DANGER OF SCALDING
Please use caution when using the steam bottle directly or with the hose and tool attachments and cleaning
pockets. The steam emitted is very hot.
POLARIZED PLUG:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
1. USE THE SYSTEM ONLY FOR ITS INTENDED USE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
2. ONLY USE WATER. To extend the life of your Portable Steam Pocket, we recommend using distilled water. If
you live in an area with hard tap water, we recommend using distilled water.
3. 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 of any substances other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories will automatically void your warranty.
12. NEVER store the appliance with a damp/wet cleaning pocket attached. If left in a single spot for a period of
time with a damp/wet pocket attached, the moisture may cause surface damage.
13. When cleaning the portable steam pocket, unplug the power cord and clean with a dry or damp cloth.
Do not pour water or use alcohol, benzene or paint thinner on the unit.
14. NEVER use the cleaning pocket wedge or cylinder tools without the cleaning pocket fabric attached.
15. To protect against a risk of fire, k. NEVER attempt to fill this unit electric shock, or injury:
a. To avoid circuit overload, DO NOT operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit)
as the portable steam pocket cleaning system.
g. DO NOT handle plug or portable steam pocket with wet hands or operate without shoes.
h. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord, power cord as a handle, close a door on the power cord, or pull the power
cord around sharp corners or edges.
i. DO NOT allow power cord to touch hot surfaces.
j. ALWAYS disconnect system from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
k. NEVER attempt to fill this unit under a water faucet. Always use the filling flask that is provided.
l. NEVER turn the appliance over or on its side when in use.
m. NEVER aim or direct steam towards people, animals, or plants. The steam is very hot and can cause burns.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, steam or steam pockets.
n. DO NOT operate the steam cleaner while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
o. DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
p. Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry area.
q. Keep your work area well lit.
r. Let the system cool completely before putting away. Wrap cord loosely around system when storing, using the
cord clip to secure.
s. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick Start
Your 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 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 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 alowing the cleaning tools to sit in one spot for any amount of time.
When assembling your portable steam pocket, there may be a little water in the water tank. This is because we
test all our portable steam pocket cleaning systems 100% before you buy them, so you get a quality Shark Steam
product.
ASSEMBLY
1. Safely remove contents of the Portable Steam Pocket Cleaning System and lay them out on a flat surface to
see that you have all the components to complete the assembly (Refer to page 2).
FILL
2. Turn the water tank cap counter- clockwise and remove to fill, using the filling flask provided. Be careful not to
overfill. Replace the cap by turning clockwise. The water tank does not have to be completely full for the steam
bottle to generate steam. Steam will stop when the water tank is empty. You can refill at any time.
4. Attach the hose connector. Aligning the arrow located on the hose connector with the un-lock symbol located on
the nozzle connector. Press in and turn clockwise to secure into place. The arrow on the hose connector will align
with the lock symbol.
5. Select the desired cleaning tool for use. Follow the cleaning tool sub assembly Instructions for the selected tool.
6. Attach the cleaning tool by inserting the hose stem into the handle of the cleaning tool. Press in and turn
clockwise at the same time to secure and press in and turn counter clockwise to release. Check for proper
connection by turning the handle counter-clockwise a few turns. The handle should remain connected.
(Note for reference: This connection method is the same design used with most over the counter prescription
bottles). The design of this connection is to prevent the hose from twisting and kinking during use.
7. Slide the wedge shaped cleaning pocket over the wedge cleaning tool frame until it is completely on.
8. Close the cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the locking bean to tighten.
CYLINDER CLEANING TOOL ASSEMBLY
9. Squeeze “chopsticks” together and slide the cylinder shaped cleaning pocket over the cylinder cleaning tool
frame until it is completely on.
10. Close the cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the locking bean to tighten.
11. Press fit the scrubbing detail brush onto the detail cleaning tool handle.
Thank you for purchasing the Shark® Portable Steam Pocket Cleaning System.

Never fill the water reservoir when the unit is plugged in.
3. Only use water. To extend the life of your Portable Steam Pocket, we recommend using distilled water.
If you live in an area with hard tap water, we recommend using distilled water.
4. 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 of any substances other than
manufacturer’s recommended accessories will automatically void your warranty.

2. Disconnect the power cord before filling the water tank.
3. Turn the water tank cap counter clockwise and remove to fill, using the filling flask provided. Be careful not to
overfill. Replace the cap by turning clockwise.
Cleaning Tip: Direct steam spray for cleaning hard to reach nooks & crannies and stubborn sticky messes where
focused steam power may be needed. Direct steam spray can 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 difficult to
reach and clean. Spray direct steam and wipe clean with a cleaning cloth.
CAUTION: Direct steam spray temperature is extremely hot closest to the nozzle and can damage surfaces if
held directly focusing in one spot too long. Be sure to constantly move and adjust the steam spray to avoid
causing damage.
1. Attach the Steam Bottle Nozzle.
Aligning the arrow located on the Steam Bottle Nozzle with the Un-Lock symbol located on the Nozzle Connector.
Press in and turn clockwise to secure into place. The arrow on the nozzle will align with the Lock symbol.
2. To remove the Steam Bottle Nozzle, turn counter-clockwise to unlock and remove.
1. Attach the hose connector. Aligning the arrow located on the hose connector with the un-lock symbol located on
the nozzle connector. Press in and turn clockwise to secure into place. The arrow on the hose connector will align

connection by turning the handle counter-clockwise a few turns. The handle should remain connected. (Note for
reference: This connection method is the same design used with most over the counter prescription bottles). The
design of this connection is to prevent the hose from twisting and kinking during use.
WEDGE CLEANING TOOL ASSEMBLY
5. Slide the wedge shaped cleaning pocket over the wedge cleaning tool frame until it is completely on.
6. Secure the cleaning pocket onto the frame. Close the cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the locking
bean to tighten.
Cleaning Tip: The wedge cleaning pocket was designed for cleaning a variety of surfaces and is exceptional on
those that are large and flat, both horizontal and vertical. Broad cleaning sides and super absorbent microfiber
fabrics loosen, lift, and lock in dirt and grime while sanitizing at the same time.
Cleaning Tip: The wedge tip and squared edges reach into tight areas often missed or difficult to reach with
traditional cleaning methods. The Wedge sides concave to wrap around sink and faucet fixtures, door knobs, and
other small curved surfaces leaving them clean all around. Multiple sides provide more surface cleaning area and
allow one to clean with one side and finish with the other for a “NOW YOU KNOW THAT’S CLEAN” performance.
Surface examples for use are countertops, tabletops, cabinets, walls, floor spot cleaning, bathroom fixtures and
more.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you allow the cleaning pockets to cool off before removing them from the
wedge or cylinder tools to avoid possible scalding injury.
2. Secure the cleaning pocket onto the frame. Close the cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the locking
bean to tighten.
Cleaning Tip: The thin cylinder shape provides controlled cleaning and reaches into narrow areas, around curved
and contoured surfaces for steam dusting and fine cleaning activities. Specialized dusting cleaning pockets
provide gentle cleaning of surfaces, objects, and furniture while reaching into crevices and corners. It is a great
cleaning tool for in and around window sills, door jams and frames, exhaust and intake vents, banisters, railings,
spindles, furniture, seating, patio furniture, and more.
1. Press fit the detail scrubbing brush onto the detail cleaning handle.
Cleaning Tip: The scrubbing brush attachment is great for hard to reach areas and for breaking up heavily soiled
and dried on messes. Allow plenty of time for steam heat and moisture to penetrate the surface as it dislodges the
mess for wiping. It can be especially useful in the bathroom and shower area loosening scum build-up on tile and
grout. Select either of the cleaning pocket tools to clean, sanitize, and wipe up excess moisture and residue.
NOTE: The detail scrubbing brush is most effective when applying light pressure. Let the super heated steam and
the bristle tips do the work for you. The sides of the bristles are not effective for scrubbing. If you apply too much
force, you will bend and deform the bristles.
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 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.
3. For garment brush, attach directly onto the garment steamer diffuser by aligning the bottom of the diffuser with
the back of the garment brush attachment. Gently push the top
of the garment brush up into place over the bonnet until the attachment snaps into place.
Note: It is recommended that the bonnet be used at all times to asure a dry steam and prevent condensation.
Tip: For freshening upholstery and removing wrinkles from clothing, fabrics, and drapes.
IMPORTANT: Once plugged in, the Blue LED will illuminate, and your Portable Steam Pocket Cleaning System
will be ready to use within 30 seconds.
WARNING: Your 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, 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.
We also recommend you check the use and care instructions from the surface manufacturer.
NOTE: Make sure surfaces are free of crumbs and debris before using the portable steam pocket. Large objects
may not be picked up by the steam pocket and will only be pushed around.
GENERATING STEAM
1. Plug the unit in and wait about 30 to 45 seconds then press and hold the steam trigger to activate the pump.
You will immediately hear steam generating and begin to see visible results either from the nozzle or the attached
cleaning tool. It is recommended that you wait at least 30 seconds before pulling the trigger as this will minimize
water spitting.
2. Once you release the steam trigger, the pump will stop delivering water to the boiler and the steam will reduce
to a stop when the boiler becomes empty.
3. For wedge and cylinder cleaning pockets, allow the bottle to generate enough steam to activate the cleaning
fabric. Once you see visible steam emitting through the fabric, your cleaning pocket is ready to use. Some
messes, particularly those that are sticky may require more moisture, so allow more steam to generate and
exhaust from the cleaning pocket before cleaning.
CAUTION: Steam is hot and can cause burns, so please use with caution.
Care of Your Portable Steam Pocket
WARNING: The hose stem becomes very hot during operation and can cause burns. Do not operate the Portable
Steam Pocket without the proper cleaning tools attached securely as instructed.
Caution: This appliance must be unplugged from electrical outlet and allowed to cool down before storage or
cleaning.
STORAGE
1. A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will help free it from normal water deposits. This is recommended every
10-15 fillings to free up any scale deposit. Fill the reservoir with water and secure the cap. Shake vigorously for
approximately 10-15 times and remove the cap to empty the reservoir.
1. Your Portable Steam Pocket 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.
4. Move the wire back and forth several times to remove any deposits.
5. Plug in the appliance to the power outlet and test to note steam output.
Cleaning tip: To prevent clogging, it is recommended that you periodically clean the Direct Steam Nozzle and the
extension hose stem with the cleaning tool provided or a paper clip.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY A “PAD” VS. A “BONNET”? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT IN CONSTRUCTION
AND MATERIALS?
The pad is constructed to attach to the bottom of the handheld steam scrubber by “Hook and Loop” attachments.
It is flat and is made of an all-purpose microfiber terry material. The bonnet is constructed to attach to the bottom
of the handheld steam scrubber similar to a shower cap. It has an elastic edge that “hugs” the bottom of the steam
scrubber. It is made of a heavy duty, large shag textile.
Tap water is ok to use in the handheld steam scrubber. Distilled water is better for the longest boiler life.
*However, if you live in an area with hard water we recommend using distilled water to prolong the life of your
product.*
Distilled water is best. We have learned that distilled water is empty of all minerals and undergoes a multi-step
process to be classified as distilled. However, filtered water is indeed better than unfiltered for the boiler life.
Only water should be added to the handheld steam scrubber. No other substances should be added to the water
for various reasons. Additives will build up on the boiler decreasing the life of the handheld steam scrubber. Most
of the additive will be distilled out of the water. The remaining additive could end up in the steam vapor and,
depending upon the additive, be dangerous to inhale while using the handheld steam scrubber. For these
reasons, do not add anything but water to the handheld steam scrubber. As a free gift, we are sending you the
Shark Fresh Breeze Mister that is used to apply a subtle Fresh Breeze scent to the back of your cleaning pads
before you steam mop. This will release a beautiful, soft fragrance in the air. It is designed to be applied to the
back of the pad that does not contact the floor or countertop. Even this fragrance should never be added into the
water tank of your handheld steam scrubber.
It is safe and the product is designed to refill the water tank anytime when the water runs out. We do recommend
that you unplug the unit from a power circuit prior to refilling. When you fill the water tank completely, simply plug
the unit back in, wait 30 seconds for the water to heat, and start pumping the handle to deliver super-heated,
powerful steam.
WHAT SORT OF MESSES OR SITUATIONS WOULD BE BEST FOR EACH TYPE OF PAD?
– The all-purpose microfiber pad is best for general countertop cleaning and sanitization.
– The heavy duty shag bonnet is great on textured surfaces, larger cleaning areas, and some tougher cleaning
challenges. Just as the all-purpose pad, it is safe to use on all sealed hard surfaces and for general sanitization of
any hard surface.
WHAT SPECIFIC TYPES OF SURFACES CAN I USE THE HANDHELD STEAM SCRUBBER ON? (1)
Note that we do not suggest use of this product on unsealed surfaces, such as unfinished hardwood, unglazed
ceramic tiles, or unsealed stone. The Handheld steam scrubber is engineered for premium performance
exclusively on hard surfaces, and is not intended for area rugs, painted surfaces, or carpets. It can be used on all
sealed hard surfaces – including sealed hardwood, linoleum, ceramic tile, or marble and other stone floors. Note
that we do not suggest use of this product on unsealed surfaces, such as unfinished hardwood, unglazed ceramic
tiles, painted walls, painted baseboards or cabinetry, wood furniture, or unsealed stone surfaces.
WHAT SPECIFIC TYPES OF SURFACES CAN I USE THE HANDHELD STEAM SCRUBBER ON? (2)
Your handheld steam scrubber is designed to clean surfaces that will withstand high heat and moisture; this
includes Lacquer and polyurethane coatings. – Lacquer and polyurethane coatings provide a hard durable
protective finish that withstands moisture. – The sheen may be removed by the heat, steam, and friction of the
cleaning tools. – Do not use on unsealed wood surfaces especially wood antique furniture, unglazed ceramic tile,
painted surfaces or surfaces that have been treated with wax, oils, varnished, or shellac. – It is always
recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding, as well as check the use
and care instructions from the surface manufacturer. Cleaning Tip: When cleaning, 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.
Wash in your household washing machine with warm water with liquid detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric
softener. Air dry.
