PLACING THE MICROFIBRE PAD  
NOTE: Don’t be alarmed if the first  
time you use your Steam Mop, you  
notice water inside the water tank or  
drops of water in the packaging. It’s  
normal to see this water. Your Steam  
Mop was 100% tested in the factory  
to ensure your safety and your floor’s  
happiness. If you see water in the  
unit, it’s from these tests.

Place the microfibre cleaning cloth  
underneath the mop head, with  
the quick fastener strips facing up.  
Simply press the pad on to the  
Steam Mop.  
IMPORTANT: Make sure you only  
add water to the tank. Chemicals or  
cleaning solution may damage the  
appliance and could be unsafe for  
you and your family.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

The filling flask and funnel included  
with your Steam Mop make filling  
the water tank as simple as getting a  
glass of water from the sink. Fill the  
flask with water and use the funnel to  
pour it into the tank. Be sure to keep  
the water under the MAX FILL line;  
just one flask of water is enough for  
your Steam Mop. See illustration for a  
visual explanation.  
IMPORTANT: Before you fill up the  
tank, make sure your Steam Mop is  
unplugged from the wall.

First, remove the water tank cap by  
turning it counter clockwise to the  
unlocked position. See illustration  
for a visual explanation.

Using Your Steam Mop  
Now comes the part you’ve been  
waiting for – it’s time to use your steam  
mop. When you use your steam mop for  
the first time or haven’t used the unit  
in awhile, it may take a minute or two  
for the water to make its way through  
the pump and into the heater to create  
steam. Get it started by pumping the  
handle a few times. If you’ve waited a  
few minutes and you still don’t see any  
steam, reference the troubleshooting  
section on page 9.  
1
IMPORTANT: Your Steam Mop needs  
water to make steam! Never use your  
Steam Mop without water in the tank.  
1
Pull and twist the quick release  
cord holder to unwrap the power  
cord completely. Plug into a 220-  
240 volt electrical outlet. The “On”  
light will turn green. Success! If your  
light doesn’t turn on reference the  
Troubleshooting section on page 9.  
Sweep or vacuum your floors  
before using your Steam Mop. Your  
Steam Mop was designed to get  
rid of stuck-on gunk, grime, paw/  
footprints and it will do a better job  
if yesterday’s cereal crumbs aren’t in  
the way.

It takes about 30 seconds for the  
steam to get going. Now pump the  
handle a few times to prime the  
pump and activate steam.  
IMPORTANT: When your floors are  
sparkling clean and you’re finished  
with your Steam Mop, unplug it from  
the electrical outlet and carefully  
remove the microfibre cleaning pad  
from the mop head. Always remove  
the microfibre cleaning pad from the  
mop head when you have finished  
using your Steam Mop to avoid  
damage to your floors. The steam  
will make your microfibre cleaning  
pad very hot. You may want to wait  
a couple of minutes to let it cool off  
before you remove it.

KEEPING YOUR MICROFIBRE  
CLEANING PAD AS GOOD AS NEW  
Your steam activated microfibre  
cleaning pad works wonders for you,  
so return the favour by giving it the  
care it deserves.  
KEEPING YOUR STEAM MOP  
IN TIP-TOP SHAPE  
If you love your Steam Mop, let it  
show. Caring for your Steam Mop  
and properly storing it means you’ll  
get the same super steam action you  
expect each time you use it.  
1
Wash pad in warm water. Wash  
separately from other laundry.  
IMPORTANT: Both your Steam Mop  
and the water inside it can get very  
hot, so let it cool down completely  
before you store it.  
Only use liquid detergent (no powder  
detergent). Don’t use any fabric  
softeners.  
IMPORTANT: Always store the  
Steam Mop in a safe place away from  
children and high traffic areas.  
Line dry. Do not tumble dry.  
2
If there are loose threads on the pad  
carefully cut the thread with scissors.  
Don’t pull on them or cut at the base.  
NOTE: It’s a good idea to use  
distilled water in your tank to help  
prolong the life of your Steam Mop,  
especially if you live in an area with  
hard water.

Trouble Shooting  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS  
Your steam-mop should be securely plugged into a  
220-240V electrical outlet only.  
The Steam Mop  
will not turn-on.  
Check your fuse or breaker.  
Steam Mop will not  
make steam.  
Is there water in the water tank? If not, add water to your  
Steam Mop following instructions.  
Is your microfibre cleaning pad too wet? Why don’t  
you unplug your Steam Mop and change the microfibre  
cleaning pad.  
Steam Mop leaves  
water on the floor.  
Don’t leave your steam-mop on the floor with a damp or  
wet cleaning pad.  
Steam Mop left white  
spot on the floor.  
Do you have hard water? If you do you might want to  
switch to distilled water.  
The pad might be dirty, change or wash the pad.  
If you washed the pocket with powder detergent then the  
pad might have residual detergent left on it. Wash it again  
with liquid detergent.  
If you are cleaning in a kitchen area where there might be a  
build-up of grease then use a degreasing agent such as an  
all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and paper towels to clean  
the area first.  
Floors are cloudy,  
streaky or spotty  
after steaming.  
You might have left the mop in the same spot for  
too long.  
Do you have hard water? If you do you might want to  
switch to distilled water.  
This might be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor  
surface. Use the steam mop a few more times and see if the  
leftover cloudiness is removed.  
Steam Mop is hard  
to push.  
Make sure the cleaning pad is on properly.
