Need help?Do you have a question about the Vitek VT-8188 and is the answer not in the manual?
The VITEK VT-8188 Steam Mop is designed for washing and disinfecting floors and carpets, offering a versatile cleaning solution for various household surfaces.
The steam mop operates by generating high-temperature steam to clean and sanitize. It features a control panel with two buttons: a steam release control button (20) to adjust steam supply and an on/off button (21). The indication panel (16) provides visual feedback on the operating mode with three LED indicators:
The unit is designed for ease of use, with an extension pipe (9) and handle (11) that click into place for assembly and can be detached by pressing release buttons (13, 15). The floor brush (1) also attaches to the body (3) with a release button (2) and features a large rotation angle (as shown in Fig. 5) for cleaning corners and low spaces under furniture.
For carpet cleaning, a dedicated frame (17) can be attached to the floor brush (1) with the microfiber cloth (18). This frame facilitates smooth gliding over carpets and prevents the cloth from slipping.
The transparent water tank (7) allows for easy monitoring of the water level. To fill, press the release button (8) on the body (3) to remove the tank. Open the lid (6) by turning it counterclockwise, fill with clean water using the measuring cup (19), then close the lid by turning it clockwise. Reinstall the tank until it clicks. If the tank empties during operation, switch off the unit (21), unplug it (4), and refill. It is recommended to use tap water cleaned with domestic filters, or demineralized/distilled water to minimize scale buildup. Avoid carbonated water, perfume additives, toxic substances, acids, solvents, alcohol, descaling detergents, corrosive substances, explosives, or very hot objects.
Attach the microfiber cloth (18) to the floor brush (1) by pressing the brush onto the cloth until the stickers adhere to the bars. Plug in the power cord (4) and press the on/off button (21). Once the power on/ready indicator (22) turns blue, the mop is ready. Adjust steam supply using button (20). For convenience, the power cord can be passed through the upper hook (10) to keep it out of the way.
For carpets, attach the frame (17) to the floor brush (1) with the microfiber cloth (18). The frame helps the brush glide smoothly. Plug in the unit and wait for the ready indicator (22) to turn blue, then select the desired steam level with button (20). For freshening carpets, a mixture of water and carpet shampoo (1:1) can be sprayed on, left for 2 hours, then cleaned with the steam mop.
The unit includes a filter with special resins to prevent limescale and extend product life. It is recommended to replace the filter after 100 uses. To replace, disconnect the unit, remove the water tank (7) by pressing button (8), insert a new filter, ensuring it is perfectly seated, then reattach the water tank. Note that the filter may darken during use, which is normal and not a malfunction.
After use, remove the water tank before switching off the power, and let the unit operate until steam stops. Then, switch off and unplug the unit. Follow cleaning and care instructions. Wind the power cord onto the storage hooks (10, 14). Store the mop vertically in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children.
A troubleshooting guide is provided for common issues such as weak/no steam (empty tank, clogged nozzle, scale buildup) or the unit not turning on (no power supply, on/off button not pressed, blown fuse). For scale buildup in the boiler, service by an authorized center is required and is not covered by warranty. For persistent issues not listed, contact an authorized service center or customer support.
