Shark S3401 Owner's Guide

To assemble the Shark S3401 Scrubber, start by attaching the handle to the main body until it clicks into place. Then, connect the scrub pad to the cleaning head securely. Ensure all parts are locked in position before use.
Rinse the scrub pads with warm water immediately after use to remove debris. Machine wash with mild detergent on a gentle cycle if needed, and air dry to maintain their integrity.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Inspect the power switch to ensure it is in the 'on' position. If the problem persists, check for any tripped circuit breakers or contact customer support.
Remove the water tank from the unit and empty any remaining water. Rinse the tank with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue. Allow it to air dry before reattaching.
It is recommended to use only water in the Shark S3401 for optimal performance. Using other cleaning solutions may damage the unit or reduce its effectiveness.
Ensure that the scrub pad is clean and not overly saturated. Adjust your cleaning speed to allow the pad to effectively pick up dirt. If streaks persist, check for any blockages in the cleaning solution distribution system.
Ensure there is sufficient water in the tank and the unit is properly plugged in. Check for any kinks in the steam hose and ensure the steam nozzle is not blocked. Descale the unit if necessary to remove mineral deposits.
Replace the scrub pads when they show signs of wear, reduced cleaning performance, or damage. Regular inspection after each use can help determine when replacement is necessary.
The Shark S3401 is safe for use on sealed hard floors. Avoid using it on unsealed, waxed, or oil-finished wood floors as it may cause damage. Always refer to floor manufacturer guidelines for compatibility.
Check that the attachment points on the cleaning head are clean and free of debris. Ensure the pad is properly aligned and pressed firmly into place. Replace the pad if the Velcro or attachment mechanism has worn out.
