POLARIZED PLUG:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC  
SHOCK, this appliance has a  
polarized plug (one blade is  
wider than the other). As a safety  
feature, this plug will fit into a  
polarized outlet only one way. If  
the plug does not fit fully into the  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician. Do not attempt to  
defeat this safety feature.  
28 DO NOT store unit with damp  
or wet micro-fiber cleaning pad  
attached. Never leave the steam  
mop in one spot on any surface  
for any period of time with a damp  
or wet micro-fiber cleaning pad  
attached as this will damage your  
floors  
17. When in use, NEVER turn the  
appliance over or on its side.  
NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS  
PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.  
18. Carefully remove the micro-  
fiber pad immediately after you  
have unplugged and allowed the  
product to cool.  
8. To protect against a risk of electric  
shock, DO NOT immerse the steam  
mop into water or any other liquids.  
WARNING: Your steam mop  
is designed to clean hard floor  
surfaces that will withstand high  
heat. Do not use on unsealed wood  
or unglazed ceramic floors. On  
surfaces that have been treated  
with wax or some no wax floors,  
the sheen may be removed by  
the heat and steam action. It is  
always recommended to test an  
isolated area of the surface to be  
cleaned before proceeding. We also  
recommend that you check the use  
and care instructions from the floor  
manufacturer.  
19. When cleaning the steam mop,  
unplug the power cord from the  
electrical outlet and clean with a  
dry or damp cloth. Do not pour  
water or use alcohol, benzene or  
paint thinner on the unit.  
9. DO NOT handle plug or steam  
mop with wet hands or operate  
appliance without shoes.  
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power  
cord, use power cord as handle,  
close a door on the power cord, or  
pull the power cord around sharp  
edges or corners. Keep power cord  
away from heated surfaces.  
20 To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT  
use a flammable or combustible  
liquid to clean a floor.

Using Your Light & Easy™ Steam Mop  
When you use your steam mop for the  
first time or if you have not used the unit  
in awhile, it may take a minute or two  
for the water to travel through the pump  
and into the heater to create steam. Get  
it started by pumping the handle a few  
times. If you have waited a few minutes  
and you still do not see any steam,  
reference the troubleshooting section  
on page 11.  
If your Light & Easy Steam  
Mop stops steaming, it could  
be out of water. Unplug the  
power cord from the electrical  
outlet and refill the water tank  
at anytime.
