for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for
this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It
must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for

- Twist the quick release cord wrap to unwrap the power cord and plug into a 120-Volt grounded outlet as described in the Important Safety Instructions.
- The ready light will illuminate when the Steam Mop is ready for use.
NOTE: During the 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. The delay will only occur during initial use or when using a new filter.
Cleaning hard floors
Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile,
laminate, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your Steam Mop on
waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in diminished glossiness. On surfaces
that have been treated with wax, the wax may be removed by the heat and steam
action. Do not use on unsealed wood floors or let unit stand on any wood floor
for an extended period of time. This could cause the wood grain to rise. When
using on peel-and-stick vinyl, linoleum or any other heat sensitive floors,
use extra caution. Too much heat can melt down glue in the flooring. For best
results test in an inconspicuous area and check the care instructions from
your flooring manufacturer.
- When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning by passing over surface while pressing trigger to emit steam.
- To sanitize an area of your floor, place the center of the Steam Mop over the spot for a minimum 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds.
- When the Steam Mop stops emitting steam, simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue cleaning.
Tip: Do not attempt to use your Steam Mop without water in the tank.
CAUTION: Never put descaling, alcoholic, or deter- gent products
into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.
Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models only)
This accessory is recommended for the refreshing of carpets. Once the steam
mop is cradled in the carpet refresher attachment, it will easily glide over
the carpet.
NOTE: Always be sure a mop pad is in place before placing in carpet
refresher attachment. It is recommended that only white mop pads be used with
the carpet attachment. Do not use carpet attachment on spots or stains, or
glide it over the same spot for longer than 20 seconds.
-
Attach the mop pad to the swivel mop head. As directed in step 1.
-
Place the swivel mop head, with mop pad attached, in the carpet refresher attachment.
Note: that the Steam Mop rests in the carpet refresher attachment and may not stay attached to the swivel mop head. It is meant to glide over the carpet.
-

-
When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet or rug.
NOTE: Move the Steam Mop and carpet refresher attachment in a continuous motion until you are finished. This product is not intended to be used as a carpet cleaner, only a carpet refresher or deodorizer. Never attempt to use the Steam Mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment in place. DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position.
Maintenance and care
CAUTION: Never store your steam mop with a wet mop pad attached.
Doing so may result in the formation of white marks on your floor. To remove
the white marks, clean area with vinegar.
When you’re done
- Unplug power cord from outlet.
- Carefully remove mop pad from swivel mop head, as mop pad and lower assembly will be hot.
- Any water remaining in the water tank should be emptied prior to machine storage.
- Mop pad can be machine washed in warm water. Use only liquid detergants. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, For best results, air dry.
- Wrap power cord around quick release cord wrap.
- Wipe all surfaces of Steam Mop with a soft cloth. Store upright in a protected, dry area.
Replacing the water filter
If you fill your Steam Mop 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.
