TO USE AS A STEAM MOP
- Before assembling the steam mop, make sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position, and the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet.

CAUTION
- Do not use the steam mop on unsealed wood floors.

Is the Secura EM-516 steam mop suitable for all types of flooring?

How do I fill the water tank of the steam mop?
The process of filling the water tank can vary depending on the specific model. Typically, you would remove the water tank, fill it with water using a measuring cup or included filling accessory, and then securely reattach the tank to the steam mop.

How long does the steam mop run on a full tank of water?

Higher steam settings may result in shorter runtime, while lower settings can extend the usage time. The product documentation or user manual should provide an estimate of the runtime.
