OPERATION

Using the Steam Mop

Please read before use:

• This unit is designed to thoroughly clean floor surfaces such as marble, ceramic, carpet, stone, linoleum, sealed hardwood floors and parquet. Not all floor types are suitable for steam cleaning.
• On surfaces that have been treated with wax, the wax may be removed by the heat and steam function. Does not use on unsealed flooring or let the unit stand on any wood or heat-sensitive floor for an extended period, as it may cause the wood grain to rise.
• When using on vinyl, linoleum or any other heat sensitive floors, use extra caution. Too much heat can melt down the glue in the flooring. When using the cleaner on laminated floors, the laminated floor should have been laid professionally and not have any gaps or cracks in which humidity could enter.
• Test the unit on a small isolated area of the floor before over-all use on any floor surface. Always check the use and care instructions of the flooring manufacturer before using the unit.
• If you are in any doubt, please consult with a specialist. Only use the carpet glider on carpeting and rugs. Use of the carpet glider on other floor surfaces will cause streaking and can scratch the surface.

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged and then fill the water tank with water.

2. Turn the water tank cap counter-clockwise to the open “OFF” position then remove the cap as shown in Fig la, 1b, 1c & Id.
   
   

3. Hold the mop at a 45° angle as shown in Fig Id and add water to the tank up to the MAX level by using the measuring cup. Do not overfill. The maximum tank capacity is 450ml.

4. Replace the water tank cap and turn clockwise approximately 90° to the “CLOSE” position until the cap is tightened securely.
   

CLEANING & CARE

Ensure That the Unit Is Disconnected from Power When Cleaning the Unit
Drain the remaining water in the tank and then clean it after each use. Please use detergent to clean the accessories (jet nozzle and round brush) when they are dirty, then rinse them with clean water and allow them to air dry.

Decalcifying the Water Tank Interior

To clean the calcium deposits that build up inside the tank, add one or two tablespoons of white vinegar to a full water tank, close the water tank then shake the contents. Do not turn
the steamer on. Let it sit for a few hours. Then empty the tank and refill it with clean water.
Close the tank and shake again. Continue flushing clean water through the tank until it rinses clear.

Removing Limescale

If the unit begins to produce steam more slowly than usual or stops producing steam entirely, you may need to remove lime scale. Lime scale can develop over time on metal parts, greatly affecting mop performance. It recommends you remove the lime scale regularly, up to once a month at least, especially in areas with hard water. The frequency of lime scale depends upon the hardness of the tap water and how often you use the steam mop.

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water, then add to the water tank.
2. Secure and position the unit to ensure that steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects and surfaces. Plug the unit in and turn the unit ON by pressing the power switch. Allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is all used up.
3. Repeat the above procedure as necessary until a normal steam flow rate is achieved.
4. Fill the water tank with fresh water and allow it to rinse out.
5. Fill the water tank with fresh water, attach to the unit and release steam through the system until the water tank is empty. Remember to remove limescale every 25 times you use a full tank of water or at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water. Use filtered or distilled water for better steam performance.
