Shark HHS71R Owner's Guide

To assemble the Shark HHS71R Steam Cleaner, first attach the handle to the main body until it clicks. Then, connect the mop head to the base of the unit. Make sure all parts are securely attached before use.
It is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance of your Shark HHS71R Steam Cleaner.
Once you plug in the Shark HHS71R Steam Cleaner and turn it on, the steam-ready indicator light will illuminate when the unit is ready for use.
If your steam cleaner is not producing steam, check if the water tank is filled and properly attached. Also, ensure the unit is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. If issues persist, consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips.
Microfiber pads should be cleaned after each use. They can be machine washed with warm water and a mild detergent, but avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
To descale, mix equal parts vinegar and water, fill the tank, and run the cleaner until half the solution is used. Rinse with clean water before next use. This should be done monthly to prevent scale buildup.
The Shark HHS71R is safe for most sealed hard floors, including tile, hardwood, and laminate. Avoid using it on unsealed or waxed floors as the steam may cause damage.
Typically, the Shark HHS71R Steam Cleaner heats up in about 30 seconds, as indicated by the steam-ready light.
After use, ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled. Empty the water tank, detach the mop head, and store the cleaner in a dry area. This prevents mold and prolongs the lifespan of the device.
Regularly clean the water tank and microfiber pads, descale monthly, and check for any blockages in the steam nozzle. Proper storage and using distilled water can also extend the life of your steam cleaner.
