To attach the mop head to your Shark steam mop, ensure the side of the head marked "front" faces outwards while aligning it with the steam blaster nozzle and water tank which face inwards.
Attaching Your Shark Steam Mop Head Correctly
Properly attaching the mop head is essential for effective steam cleaning with your Shark steam mop. Based on instructions for specific models like the Shark® Genius™ Steam Pocket® Mop, the mop head needs to be oriented correctly relative to the main body of the steam mop for secure attachment and proper function.
The key is aligning the designated "front" of the mop head with the body of the steamer where the steam comes out.
Simple Steps for Attaching the Mop Head
Follow these steps to correctly attach the mop head to your Shark steam mop:
- Identify Components: Locate your mop head and the main body of your Shark steam mop, including the connection point, the steam blaster nozzle, and the water tank.
- Find the Front: Look for the side of the mop head that is marked with the word "front". This marking indicates the intended forward-facing direction during use.
- Orient the Head: Hold the mop head so the side marked "front" is facing outwards, away from where you would stand to operate the mop.
- Align with Mop Body: Align the connection point on the mop head with the corresponding connector on the main body of the steam mop. The reference indicates that the steam blaster nozzle and the water tank on the main body should be facing inwards (towards the user/handle) and that the mop head connects to align with this orientation.
- Secure Attachment: Gently push the mop head onto the connection until you feel it click or lock securely into place. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Quick Orientation Guide
For clarity, here's a simple breakdown of the orientation during attachment:
| Component | Orientation Relative to User |
|---|---|
| Mop Head (word "front") | Facing Outwards |
| Steam Blaster Nozzle | Facing Inwards |
| Water Tank | Facing Inwards |
Ensuring the mop head is attached correctly and securely is vital before filling the tank or plugging in the device. A proper connection guarantees that steam is delivered efficiently and safely to the cleaning surface.
