OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•
To wash the micro-fiber cleaning pad,
simply put it in your washing machine
using the warm water setting.
•
We recommend washing your micro-
fiber cleaning pads separately from
other fabrics or placing them in a
garment bag first. They have a
tendency to pick up lint and other
particles from other fabrics and the
next time you use your micro-fiber
cleaning pad, this lint will transfer to
the surface being cleaned.
•
ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS,
never use dry detergents as many
times the granules do not fully
dissolve and become trapped in the
cleaning pad. This can scratch the
surface that you are cleaning.
•
NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC
SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the
micro-fiber fabric and fabric softeners
deposit a coating on the micro-fiber
fabric what will not allow the pad to
clean efficiently.
•
We recommend that you air dry the
micro-fiber cleaning pad. If using a
clothes dryer, do not put on a high
heat setting as high heat will cause
the micro-fiber pad to shrink and the
micro-fibers to break down.
•
Wash the micro-fiber cleaning pads
regularly and don't allow them get too
dirty so that they will last much longer.
As with any fabric, dirt particles,
grease and other contaminants can
cause the fibers to break down,
therefore regular cleaning will help
preserve your micro-fiber cleaning
pads.
•
As you use the micro-fiber cleaning
pad, you will notice that sometimes a
thread will loosen or pull out. This is
normal and you should NEVER PULL
AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling
the thread can cause the weave to
come undone. Instead, simply trim
the thread with a pair of sharp
scissors.
Helpful Hints
1. Always vacuum or sweep before
using the steam mop.
2. The easiest way to use the steam mop
is to tilt the ergonomic handle to a 45°
angle and clean slowly.
3. Hand wash or machine wash the
micro-fiber cleaning pad in a delicate
cycle with a mild liquid detergent.
4. We recommend air drying the micro-
fiber cleaning pads for 24 hours, but
they could be dried in a dryer on a
low heat setting.
5. A good amount of steam passes
through the micro-fiber cleaning pad.
We recommend that the cleaning
pad be changed when it gets too
wet. These need to be replaced as
necessary.
6. To remove stubborn stains from
vinyl or linoleum floors, pre-treat
with a mild detergent and some
water before using the steam mop.
IMPORTANT:
Never leave the steam
mop in one spot on any surface for any
period of time with a damp or wet micro-
fiber cleaning pad attached as this will
damage your floors.
Care and Maintenance
If you consistently use distilled water,
cleaning the water tank is
unnecessary.

maintenance tasks on the unit.
Rinsing Out the Steam Mop

tank after each use.
Water
•
Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
•
However, if you live in an area with
hard water, it is recommended that
you use distilled water
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water used
in this appliance, as this may damage
it or make it unsafe for use. Use
distilled water if the tap water in
your area is very hard.
