  If your Shark Floor Machine Sonic Duo™ doesn’t spray, try these steps: * Ensure the Reusable Bottle is fully inserted until you hear a 'click'. * Check and refill the Reusable Bottle with cleaning solution if it's low. * Clean the bottle cap by rinsing it under running water. * Hold the spray button for 5-10 seconds to release any air in the system. * Clean the colored spray nozzle by removing it (turn counterclockwise), rinsing under warm water, and reinserting it (turn clockwise).

  Your Shark Floor Machine Sonic Duo™ may turn off on its own due to overheating. If this happens, move the switch to the “O” (Off) position and unplug the unit. Allow it to cool for about 45 minutes, then plug it back in and turn the switch on to restart.

  The Shark Floor Machine Sonic Duo™ has a safety mechanism that turns it off if it's dropped. To keep it on while cleaning under low items, twist the handle left or right to engage the swivel. When the handle is swiveled and lowered, the Sonic Duo™ will stay on.
