6.1 Filling the Water Tank
- Ensure the steam mop is unplugged.
- Locate the water tank stopper on the main unit.
- Open the stopper and use the provided measuring cup to fill the 400ml water tank with distilled or demineralized water. Do not overfill.

- Use the steam volume control (two-level adjustment) to select your desired steam intensity based on the cleaning task.
6.3 Cleaning Different Surfaces
- Hard Floors (Wood, Marble, Ceramic, Tile, Grout, Granite): Attach a microfibre mop pad. Move the mop slowly and steadily over the surface. The high-temperature steam (90-110℃) will effectively clean and sanitize.
- Carpets: Attach a microfibre mop pad, then snap the carpet glider over the mop head. Move the mop over the carpet to refresh, sanitize, and deodorize.
6.4 Detachable Handheld Steamer
The main unit can be detached from the handle and mop head to function as a handheld steamer for cleaning smaller areas, sanitizing children's toys, or steaming creases out of fabrics. Refer to the specific instructions for detaching and using the handheld unit.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning Mop Pads
The ultra-fine fiber mop pads are reusable and machine washable. After each use, remove the mop pad from the mop head and wash it according to the care instructions on the pad. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.
7.2 Storing the Steam Mop
After use, ensure the water tank is empty and the appliance has cooled down. Wrap the 4.8-meter power cord neatly around the designated cord wraps on the handle for easy storage. Store the mop in a dry, safe place.
8. Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
