Cleaning Bare Floors  
Your Steam Mop is designed to clean bare flooring such as ceramic tile,  
vinyl, laminate, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your  
Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a dimin-  
ished glossiness. The Steam Mop is not for use on unsealed wood  
floors. For best results test in an inconspicuous area or check the care  
instructions from your flooring manufacturer.  
Tip:  
During first use, it  
may take several  
seconds for the  
Steam Mop to  
begin steaming.  
The water needs  
to flow through  
the filter to the  
heater. This delay  
will only occur  
during initial use  
or when using a  
new filter.  
Sweep or vacuum floor prior to using.  
1.  
Slowly pass over surface to be cleaned while pressing  
trigger to emit steam.  
2.  
To sanitize an area of your floor, leave the Steam Mop over  
area for a minimum 15 seconds, but no longer than 20  
seconds. For larger areas, overlap Swivel Head placement.  
3.  
When the Steam Mop stops emitting steam, simply remove  
the Water Tank, refill, and continue cleaning.  
4.  
Routine Maintenance  
When You’re Done  
C A U T I O N :  
Upright storage of the

Pad may result in the

white marks, clean area  
with vinegar.

1.  
Carefully remove Mop Pad from Swivel Head, as Mop  
Pad and Lower Assembly will be hot.

tumbled dry.

Replacing The Water Filter  
If you fill your steam cleaner with normal tap water, it is  
essential to check the Water Filter and replace it when  
it is no longer effective. Change the filter when the bright  
green grains turn blue. If the filter is not changed at the  
appropriate time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the  
heating element, causing damage or reduced performance.  
Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the  
performance of your filter.

Steam Mop steam cleaner. To locate a retailer near you,
