1
Twist the Quick-Release Cord Holder to unwrap
the power cord completely
(fig. 9)
. Plug into an
electrical outlet.

When it's first plugged in, the unit will be
in Standby mode. The 3 lights below the
Steam Control Button will blink to indicate
Standby mode.

Control Button once for LOW (1 blue light)
twice for MED (2 blue lights) or three times

When you need an extra burst of steam
to clean a stuck-on stain, you can use
the Steam Blaster
™
feature. Flip the head
over so that it is behind the mop body,
then tilt the mop handle down. This will
cause the Steam Blaster
(fig. 10)
to emit a
concentrated blast of steam onto the stain.
CAUTION: While in Steam Blaster mode,
DO NOT leave stationary for more than one
minute.
CAUTION: DO NOT scrub any one area for an
extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you DO NOT use the Steam Mop without attaching a Dirt Grip
™
pad and
adding water to the water tank first. When you use the Steam Mop for the first time, it might take
longer than the normal 30 seconds to start steaming.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have
been treated with wax and on some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and
steam action. Test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. Check the use
and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.
