FILLING WATER TANK
NOTE: Do not turn unit upside-down when Water Tank is full - a small amount of water may leak
out.
1. Remove the Water Tank Cap to expose the Water Tank Fill Hole. Using the Measuring Cup, ll
Water Tank to desired amount. Do not ll more than the Max line and do not ll less than the Min
line markings on the Water Tank.
2. Put Water Tank Cap back on and push down rmly to ensure closure.
NOTE: In order to signicantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your Steam Mop,
use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly recommended. Refer to Page 8 for
more information about mineral build-up.
GENERAL OPERATION
NOTE: Be sure that Water Tank has been lled and all desired accessories are connected before
following these steps.
1. For rst-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug. Plug power
cord into a 120V grounded electrical outlet.
2. Make sure Extension Pole, Mop Head and accessories are all properly connected. Refer to page 6
for details.
3. Press the Power Button to turn the unit ON. Power Indicator Light will immediately illuminate to
indicate that the unit is powered on and heating. The light will stay on throughout use of product.
4. While the unit is heating up and running, you will hear a buzzing sound and the unit will likely
vibrate. This is normal and to be expected. If the unit beeps/buzzes during use, this indicates that
your unit is low on water. Check the water levels and add water if it is low.
5. Mop using a steady back-and-forth motion over the oor, working your way backwards in order to
avoid walking over the freshly mopped area.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the Steam Mop is pointed in a safe direction (away from
yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.
NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, do not use on unsealed
hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Care should also be taken when steaming sealed
hardwood oors, as prolonged exposure to steam in a single spot may cause damage and
discoloration.To avoid this, keep the Steam Mop in constant motion on these surfaces. Steam
may remove the sheen from some oors that have been treated with wax.
Before steaming any ooring, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines.For oor-
ing in question, always test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding.
• The Microber Pad will absorb moisture during mopping. However, depending on oor
surface and steam intensity setting, some residual moisture may be left behind. In this case, it
is recommended to allow oor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards mopped area to
facilitate drying.
