If the handle is not reclined, the mode
selection may time out and pads will
not spin.
TIP:
When cleaning near baseboards,
edges, or furniture, you may feel a slight
pull from the unit making contact with
these surfaces. This is normal and not a
cause for concern.

leave the steam
mop with damp or wet Dirt Grip pads on
any floor for an extended period.
