FEATURES

Your Steam Mop utilizes steam to remove tough grease,dirt and grime. Steam is nature’s purest and most powerful cleaner for safely cleaning all hard floor surfaces in your home without harsh chemicals, thus being perfectly ecological. Cleans your tile, hardwood , linoleum and vinyl floors.

WARNING: Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will withstand high heat. Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: Never leave the appliance in one spot on any surface for any period of time. Always place the appliance on the floor protector pad and make sure that the appliance is turned off.

CAUTION: Use a grounded receptacle. Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15 amps minimum – Do not use an ordinary extension cord.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

9. To refill the water tank, turn the unit off and unplug from the electrical wall outlet and let the unit cool for 30 seconds. Then remove the filling cap and pour in the water. You do not have to wait for the unit to cool down before you refill.
10. When you have finished using the steam mop, turn the unit “Off” and wait until the steam mop cools down for approximately five (5) minutes before removing the micro-fiber cleaning cloth from the base. Please note that the micro-fiber cleaning cloth gets very hot with the steam.
