• Do not use on wax polished floors.
• Do not use on any unsealed hard floor
surfaces. Additionally, on surfaces that have
been treated with wax or some no-wax floors,
the sheen may be removed by the heat and
steam action. It is always recommended
to test an isolated area of the surface to
be cleaned before proceeding. We also
recommend that you check the use and care
instructions from the floor manufacturer.
• Never put de-scaling, aromatic, alcoholic
or detergent products into the steam
mop, as this may damage it or make it
unsafe for use.
• If the circuit breaker activates while using
the steam function, discontinue product
use immediately and contact the customer
support center. (Beware of the risk of
electrical shock.)
• The appliance emits very hot steam to
sanitize the area of use. This means that
the steam head and cleaning pads get

wear slippers or open-toed footwear.
