THE
SCIENCE
BEHIND CLEAN
Preparation for Use
Sweep or vacuum the floor before using the mop.
To fit the microfibre pad, align the Velcro fastening strips correctly and press firmly into place.
If you are going to use the mop on carpet or similar, the carpet glider should be fitted over the
mop pad so that it clips to the edge of the steam mop base.
Ensure the steam mop is not connected to the mains power supply. Unscrew the lid at the top
of the tank and add de-mineralised water.
In hard water areas, it is advisable to use de-mineralised water in order to prolong the life of
the product.
Screw the lid back into position.
Unwrap the mains cord fully and connect the plug to a wall socket. The mop is ready for use
when the indicator light changes from red to green.
Using the Steam Mop
Caution: always test an inconspicuous floor area to ensure the surface will not be damaged by
the steam from this appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use on unsealed floors.
Using the mop on waxed floors and some un-waxed floors may result in diminished shine.
Storage of the mop with a wet mop pad may result in white marks on your floors; to remove
these, clean the area with a vinegar solution.
To clean an area of the floor, press the unit/handle downwards and leave the steam mop over
an area for a minimum of 5 seconds but no more than 15 seconds.
The steam mop will only produce steam when the unit is engaged by pushing the handle/unit
downwards. This will happen as the mop is moved back and forth.
When the steam mop stops producing steam, the water tank will require filling.
Disconnect the steam mop from the mains supply and add de-mineralised water as shown, then
reconnect to the supply.
After Use
Remove the plug from the mains power supply and allow the steam mop to cool.
Wrap the mains cord around the cord wrap on the steam mop.
Empty the water tank and remove the mop pad. The mop pad can be machine washed in hot
water and tumbled dry.
Wipe all the surfaces with a dry cloth.
Store the steam mop upright in a dry area or hang by the handle.
The handle assembly can be removed by pressing the release button on the boiler section.
