Shark S3973 Owner's Guide

To assemble the Shark S3973 Mop, connect the handle tube to the mop body until it clicks. Attach the mop head to the body, ensuring it's securely fastened.
It is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral build-up in the steam system.
Ensure the mop is plugged in and the water tank is filled. Check for blockages in the steam nozzle and clean the nozzle if necessary.
The mop pads are machine washable. Use warm water and a mild detergent, then air dry for best results. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
Ensure the mop pads are clean and not overly wet. Streaks can occur if the pad is soaked or if there is residue on the floor. Adjust steam settings accordingly.
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water, fill the water tank, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Empty the tank and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
No, only use water in the Shark S3973 Mop. Adding cleaning solutions can damage the steam system and void the warranty.
Replace mop pads when they become worn or lose their cleaning effectiveness, typically after 20-25 washes.
Check the connection between the handle and the mop body. Tighten any loose screws or connections to secure the handle.
Empty the water tank and ensure the mop pads are removed and cleaned. Store the mop upright in a cool, dry place.
