THE
SCIENCE
BEHIND HEAT
Filling the Water Tank
Unplug the steam mop from the mains power supply.
Remove the water tank from the steam mop main body and then open the water tank cap by
twisting it in an anticlockwise direction. Fill the water tank (taking care not to overfill it) using the
tap and then close.
Place the water tank back onto the steam mop main body until it clicks into place.
Using the Steam Mop
Plug the steam mop into the mains power supply.
The indicator light will illuminate red to show that it is heating up.
The steam mop will take approximately 25 seconds to heat up. Once it has reached the correct
temperature, the indicator light will change to blue; the steam mop is now ready to use.
Note:
Never allow the water in the tank to drop below the minimum level mark.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the steam mop from the mains
power supply and allow it to cool sufficiently.
Drain any remaining water from the water tank and clean it after every use.
Wipe the steam mop main body with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.
Clean the triangular mop head in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Never immerse the electrical components of the steam mop in water or any other liquid.
The steam mop water tank and accessories are not suitable for dishwasher use.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or detergents.
The mop pad is machine washable on a ‘warm’ setting. Always use a mild detergent and lay it flat
to dry. Never use bleach or fabric softener when washing the mop head pad.
Warning:
Do not turn on the steam mop during cleaning.
Removing Limescale
If the steam mop begins to produce steam slower than usual or stops producing steam
altogether, you may need to remove limescale. Limescale can develop over time on the metal
parts of the steam mop and greatly affects performance.
It is necessary to remove limescale on a regular basis, every 25-50 times you use a full tank of
water or at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water.
The frequency of limescale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and usage.
Calcium deposits may be emitted with the steam. Please descale in a sink, bucket or towel to
protect carpets etc.
STEP 1:
To remove the limescale, prepare a solution of white vinegar and tap water and add it
to the water tank.
