PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Steam Mop for storage is quick and simple. When you have completed your
tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Press Power Button to Off (the blue Power Indicator Light will turn off), and unplug power
cord.
2. Allow unit time to cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all attachments and accessories from unit.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by
high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the
effectiveness and reduce the life of your Steam Mop.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Steam Mop. In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below
be followed at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to
extend the life of your Steam Mop and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1. Follow STEPS 1-3 under Proper Storage section above.
2. Fill Measuring Cup with 2.5 oz. (74 ml) distilled water and 1.5 oz. (44 ml) vinegar.
3. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through Fill Hole, then replace Water Tank
Cap.
4. Plug in power cord and press Power Button to “ON”. Allow unit to produce steam then press
Power Button to turn unit OFF.
5. Allow unit to sit for approximately 30 minutes, then press Power Button to “ON” and allow the
remainder of the Water Tank’s contents to be steamed out.
6. Once Water Tank is drained, turn unit off and rell Tank with 5 oz. (147.9 ml) of fresh distilled
water. Press Power Button to “ON” and allow unit to steam until Water Tank is empty. Repeat
as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
7. Press Power Button to “OFF”, unplug power cord and store Steam Mop as usual.
IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral build-up removal
procedure once per month (if unit is used once every week). More frequent use may require
following the procedure more often in order to keep your Steam Mop operating at full
potential. Do not exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning out mineral build-up.
