Using Your Steam Mop Cont’d
3. Grasp by steam mop handle and detent to
begin mopping.
4. Begin cleaning by slowly moving the unit over
the floor surface. Moisture on the floor is normal
when cleaning.
5. When the hard floor cleaner stops emitting
steam, turn the unit off and unplug. Verify if
there is water in the tank. If empty, refill the
water tank.
IMPORTANT: Sanitizing on timber floors is not recommended as prolonged application of
steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber floors,
especially in areas with regular foot traffic and direct sunlight, which will wear down
timber floor surface treatments making it more susceptible to steam damage.
Using the Lift-Off ™ Pod
NOTE: When changing from mopping to hand
pod use, press the On/Off button to turn the
steam OFF and wait ten seconds.
1. Make sure the steam is OFF and wait ten
seconds.
2. Press the Lift-Off release button and pull
the hand pod out by handle.
3.
With the connector or extension hose
attached to hand pod, connect the tool to
the opening.
4. Turn the tool in order to lock into place.
NOTE: The handheld steam pod will not operate
without the proper attachments. You must have
the connector or extension hose attached in
order for the steam to emit. A safety feature
has been designed to prevent steam emission
without the connector or extension hose.
NOTE: Make sure to turn the steam OFF before
removing or connecting tools and accessories.
