Hints for optimum use

General

• Caution : Never use the steam mop without first attaching a cleaning pad.
• Always vacuum or sweep the floor before using the steam mop.
• The easiest way to use the floorhead is to tilt the floorhead tube to a 45º angle and clean slowly, covering a small area at a time.
• Use water only with no additives or chemicals with your steam mop. To remove stubborn stains from vinyl or linoleum floors, you can pre-treat with a mild detergent and some water before using the steam mop

Accessories

The performance of your appliance depends on the accessory used. BLACK+DECKER accessories are engineered to high-quality standards and designed to enhance the performance of your appliance. By using these accessories you will get the very best from your equipment.

Garment steam cleaning (Fig. G)

• Attach the hand nozzle (9) to the steam handle (11).

• When you have finished using the steam mop, press the steam flow button to stop the steam flow, return to an upright position, make sure that it is supported, and turn “OFF”.
• Wait until the steam mop cools down (Approx 5 mins).

Using the wallpaper stripper

• Check the state of your plaster before you start work as high-temperature steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster. Plaster is also loosened more readily in areas of cracks, holes or if the steam plate is held in one position for too long.
• You may be able to detect if you have weak plaster by tapping a few areas of the walls with your knuckles. If this produces a hollow sound, we recommend proceeding only with extreme care.
• In all cases test out the wallpaper stripper on a small area, about 100 cm2, before starting work properly.
• If at any stage finishing plaster is loosened or you hear a crack, do not continue. The wallpaper stripper is safe for drywall/plasterboard surfaces.
• Due to the heat generated by this product, it is possible that certain surfaces, ie. carpets, soft furniture, table tops, cabinets etc., could be marked or damaged. To prevent this, ensure a wooden board or other barrier is placed under the boiler to prevent the heat from damaging the surface.Dust sheets or newspapers are not adequate for this purpose.
• For best results, remove the wallpaper with a scraper. Scrape off the wallpaper in a downward direction.
• Always wear protection when removing wallpaper from the ceiling. Be careful of condensation collecting in the steam plate as hot water may drip.
• Empty the steam plate regularly and never use it directly above your head.
• Always place the steam plate in a suitable container when left unattended, even for a few seconds, and keep the steam plate facing away from you when in use.

Accessories storage (Fig. H)

• Small accessories along with the floorhead are stored on the rear of the unit.
• The floorhead and tube can be located on the accessory storage (4). Locate the hook at the rear of the floorhead (6) and slide it into the slot provided on the storage as see in (Fig H).
• Push firmly down and make sure the floorhead and tube are stable before releasing
