The Vileda Steam mop is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for effective and hygienic cleaning of various surfaces using steam. It is suitable for use on all sealed hard floors, including real wood, laminate, tiles, and PVC. Additionally, with the included carpet glider, it can refresh carpets, runners, mattresses, and upholstered furniture such as sofas and chairs. Users are advised to consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific flooring types and upholstery and to test on an inconspicuous area first.

Function Description:

The Vileda Steam mop utilizes steam to clean and sanitize surfaces. It heats water in its tank to produce steam, which is then applied through a microfibre pad to lift dirt and grime. The device is designed to kill 99.9% of bacteria* without the need for chemical cleaning solutions, making it an environmentally friendly and health-conscious cleaning option. The steam volume can be regulated using a selector switch on the front of the mop, allowing users to adjust the cleaning intensity based on the surface and level of dirt.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like power consumption or water tank capacity in liters are not explicitly stated, the manual indicates that the water tank should be filled with 2x 200ml of clean tap water. The device heats up quickly, with an LED indicator turning green in approximately 15 seconds to signal readiness for use. The microfibre pad is machine washable at up to 60°C, highlighting its durability and reusability.

Usage Features:

• Easy Assembly: The Vileda Steam mop features a simple click-and-attach assembly for the handle and base to the body, requiring no tools. The microfibre pad also easily attaches to the base.
• Quick Heat-Up Time: Once plugged in and turned on, the Steam mop is ready for use in about 15 seconds, indicated by a green LED light.
• Water Filling: The water tank is accessed by twisting a red circular cap anti-clockwise. It should be filled with 2x 200ml of clean tap water using the provided jug, and the cap must be firmly secured afterward.
• Operation: The device is turned on using an "ON/OFF" button located on the back. A ticking noise during heating is normal.
• Steam Regulation: A selector switch on the front of the Steam mop allows users to regulate the desired volume of steam, providing control over the cleaning process.
• No Cleaning Solutions Required: The Vileda Steam mop is designed to clean effectively using only clean cold water, eliminating the need for additional cleaning solutions and killing 99.9% of bacteria*.
• Versatile Cleaning: Suitable for a wide range of sealed hard floors and, with the carpet glider, for refreshing carpets, runners, mattresses, and upholstered furniture.

Maintenance Features:

• Microfibre Pad Cleaning: The microfibre pad can be easily removed by gently pulling it away from the base after the Steam mop is powered off and cooled. It can be machine washed at up to 60°C or hand washed. It is crucial not to use fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the microfibre material. Additional pads are available for purchase separately.
• De-scaling: In hard water areas, limescale can build up and affect performance. To de-scale the Steam mop, a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 clean water should be poured into the water tank. Continuing to clean with the mop using this solution should remove the limescale. To prevent future build-up, using cold, filtered water is recommended in hard water areas.

Important Notes:

• Always ensure the Steam mop is powered off and cooled before performing any maintenance, such as removing or cleaning the microfibre pad.
• Do not use cleaning solutions with the Vileda Steam mop, as it is designed to work effectively with just water.
• For any questions, additional product information, or technical assistance, users are directed to visit https://www.vileda.com/uk/contacts.
• The claim of killing 99.9% of bacteria is based on testing against E.Coli Bacterium.
