steam cleaning hard floors
Your steam & sweep is designed to
clean hard flooring such as ceramic
tile, vinyl, marble, stone and sealed
hard wood floors. use of your
steam & sweep on waxed or some
unwaxed floors may result in a
diminished glossiness. the steam &
sweep is not for use on unsealed
wood floors. ensure that the steam
& sweep is throughly tested in an
inconspicuous area prior to clean-
ing a large floor area. also be sure
to check the care instructions from
your flooring manufacturer.
1.
When the ready light illuminates,
begin cleaning by slowly passing
over the surface while pressing the
steam on demand trigger to emit
steam as needed.
2.
To sanitize an area of your floor,
(attack invisible germs and bacteria)
leave the Steam & Sweep over the
area for a minimum of 15 seconds
using continuous steam, but no longer
than 20 seconds. for larger areas,
overlap swivel head placement.
important:
sanitizing on
timber floors is not recommend-
ed 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. see caution to
the right.
3.
When the Steam & Sweep stops
emitting steam, turn the unit off.
Simply remove the water tank, refill,
and continue cleaning.

WaRning
:
Never put descaling
aromatic, alcoholic, or
detergent products into
the steam cleaner, as this
may damage it or make it
unsafe for use.
Tip
:
The Steam & Sweep may be
used as both a steam mop and a
sweeper at the same time.
caution:
Exercise extreme care when using the
Steam & Sweep on timber flooring.
Ensure the Steam & Sweep is thoroughly
tested in an inconspicuous area prior to
mopping a large floor area. The Steam
& Sweep generates hot steam, so when
depressing the trigger to apply steam,
ensure the Steam & Sweep is moving
continuously. The trigger does not need
to be depressed at all times. Prolonged
application of steam in one area increases
the risk of damage to the surface treat-
ment on timber floors. Check with your
timber floor treatment application special-
ist prior to Steam & Sweep operation.
Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will
wear down timber floor surface treatment
making it more susceptible to steam dam-
age. Exercise extreme care when using
the Steam & Sweep on timber flooring.
