DISPOSABLE PAD FUNCTIONALITY

The dirt chamber collects and locks away dirt and debris when you vacuum

The disposable pad’s fibers absorb messes as you mop

NOTE: DO NOT vacuum up liquid or vacuum while spraying cleaner—this will cause reduced suction or no suction.

Clean liquids and wet messes ONLY by mopping

LI-ION BATTERY

Prior to first use, charge completely. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours

BATTERY RUNTIME

The Shark VACMOP is designed to handle anything from quick pickups to whole cleaning sessions—just charge it between uses. If it’s used for one-off everyday messes or for more mopping than vacuuming, it will last longer on one charge. If you’re continuously vacuuming, a full charge will last up to 13 minutes.

RECYCLING THE LI-ION BATTERY

When the Shark® Li-Ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent batteries to an authorized recycling center or to the retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery

NOTE: The Shark battery, like all lithium-ion batteries, will naturally decrease in capacity over time from the 100% capacity of a new battery

MAINTAINING YOUR VACUUM

TROUBLESHOOTING

VACMOP™ is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.

• The dirt chamber filter on the disposable pad may be saturated. Try using a new pad.

Note: DO NOT vacuum up liquid or wet debris—this will cause reduced suction or no suction.

• Remove liquids and wet messes ONLY by mopping.
• VACMOP Disposable Pad may not be securely attached. Reattach the pad.
• VACMOP Disposable Pad may be full of debris and need to be replaced.
• Battery charge may be low. Recharge the battery completely.

The unit turns off on its own. Sprayer is not spraying.

• Make sure there is enough cleaning solution in the reservoir. Battery charge may be low. Recharge the battery completely.

Streaks appear on floor after wet mopping.

• Shark® VACMOP Cleaner has been specially formulated to provide a residue-free, streak-free finish when used with the Shark VACMOP. Using other cleaning solutions may result in streaking and residue. If you find residue or streaking on your floors while using our cleaner, it may be due to one of the following:
• Your floor might not be fully dry yet. If you see streaks or suds while cleaning, just wait 5-10 minutes, and you should see them evaporate, leaving an even finish on your floors.
• Your floors might have built-up grime and dirt. The first few times you use your VACMOP, it will remove stuck-on dirt and debris that have built up over time. After a few cleaning sessions, the streaking and residue will subside.
• You may be using too much solution. If you continue to see streaking, reduce the amount of cleaning solution you use. Too much solution can cause stickiness and residue if not properly cleaned off of your floor.
• The disposable pad might need to be replaced. If you are cleaning multiple times with the same pad, you may be reintroducing dirt onto the floors. Replace your pad, and consider starting each mopping session with a fresh pad to alleviate the issue.

The unit makes scraping sounds when mopping.

• Debris may be stuck on the face of the pad. Detach the pad and remove any embedded debris.
• The pad face may be rubbing against a rough or grainy surface. This will not damage your floors.
• If your floor is uneven, the dirt chamber on the pad could be brushing against a raised section of the floor. This will not damage your floors.
• Scrubbing forcefully can bring the dirt chamber in contact with the floor. This will not damage your floors.
• Moving the handle when spraying could cause the front of the VACMOP base to drag. This will not damage your floors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I replace my VACMOP Disposable Pad?

• Replace the disposable pad when it becomes fully saturated, its dirt chamber is full, it is noticeably dirty, or if the VACMOP is showing signs of reduced suction power.

Where can I use my VACMOP?

• VACMOP can safely be used on all sealed hard floors—stone, hardwood, vinyl, laminate, tile, marble, and linoleum.

Can I vacuum and mop with the same disposable pad?

• VACMOP Disposable Pads can be used for both mopping and vacuuming. The dirt chamber collects and locks away dirt and debris when you vacuum, while the pad’s fibers absorb messes as you mop. Dust and debris collected on the pad when vacuuming will be absorbed when mopping
