USING THE STEAM MOP
This steam mop is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will withstand high temperatures and to refresh carpets. Do not use on unsealed wood or waxed floors. Before using the steam mop on new surfaces, check the manufacturers care advise for flooring or test an inconspicuous area before proceeding to clean/refresh the main area.
-
Vacuum or sweep the floor surface prior to steam cleaning.
-
Pre-treat and heavy or stubborn stained areas on vinyl or linoleum floors with a mild detergent solution suitable for the flooring type.
-
The floor head is supplied with one microfiber cleaning pad and the carpet ring already fitter. If using on a hard floor remove the carpet glider (see fig. 10).
-
Check if the steam adjustment knob is in the ‘Off’ position (fig. 6).
-
Pull out the water reservoir stopper (fig. 7).
-
Keeping the body of the steam cleaner tilted, use the water jug to fill the reservoir with water (fig. 8). If you live in a hard water area it is recommended to use distilled or softened water. Do not exceed the MAX line marked on the front of the reservoir. Never add any cleaning or perfuming liquids to the water reservoir. Refit the stopper.
-
Fully unwind the cable plug-in and switch off the mains.
-
Turn the steam adjustment knob, select one of the steam settings and the indicator will initially illuminate red to show that the power is connected and the mop is heating up. When the steam mop is ready to use the indicator will change to green.
-
Tilt the mop head away from the floor, squeeze the trigger under the handle, the pump will start to operate and after a few seconds, steam will start to be generated. The steam mop is now ready to use.
-
Place the mop head onto the surface of the floor to be cleaned /refreshed, tilt the handle to approximately a 45-degree angle, and move the mop slowly across the floor.
Do not leave the steam mop in one spot for a long time as it may damage the floor surface. If refreshing carpets, pay attention to areas of high traffic. -
To enable access into low hard-reach places the handle can be released for easier access. Press the release button shown (fig. 9) to release the handle.
-
If the cleaning pad becomes very wet or dirty, switch off the steam mop, allow the mop head to cool fully and replace the pad with a clean one. (See fig. 10 – 12).
-
When the floor has been cleaned, release the trigger and lift the mop head off of the floor and switch off at the mains.
-
Allow the steam mop to cool fully, remove and wash the cleaning pad.
-
To stop or interrupt cleaning, release the trigger or turn off at the mains.
Notes:
- When using the mop with the handle removed and accessories fitted, the steam is activated by pressing the steam button.
- If the rattling sound emitted from the mop changes, it usually indicates that the water level is low and the reservoir need to be refilled. Always switch off, allow it to cool and disconnect from the mains before refilling.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

before cleaning, maintaining or storing.

the reservoir. If using tap water, descale a minimum of once per month.
- Switch off, and disconnect from the mains supply.
- Remove the floor head/adaptor and nozzle and empty the reservoir.

steam cleaner.

- To remove the filter simply pull the filter unit from the rear of the body and replace with a new unit (fig. 13).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Observation | Potential cause/solution |
---|---|
Steam mop does not work (LED not lit) | Is the plug fully inserted into the |
mains socket and switched on?
Do you have a power cut?
LED-lit but not steam produced| Is the water reservoir empty?
Does the steam mop need to be descaled?
The steam nozzle may have become blocked. If this occurs a small wire (e.g.
paper clip) may be inserted into the nozzle at the base of the body when the
item is cold and disconnected from the mains.
If the water filter clogged or discolored?
The weighted ball inside of the steam mop may have become stuck. Give the mop
a gentle shake.
Steam production is weak or intermittent| Steam dial is set at low
Steam mop may require descaling
Water is emitted in addition to steam| The steam control is set to MAX and
this is normal. Lower steam setting.
Rattling sound| This is due to the weighted ball moving inside the water tank
and is intentional. If the sound increases it is usually a sign the water
reservoir is almost empty.
