Operating Instructions

Once the water tank is filled and the mop pad is attached:

To clean:

1. Slowly move the steam mop back and forth over the floor surface. The steam will be released automatically.

3. The swivel steering allows for easy maneuverability around furniture and obstacles.

The steam mop effectively kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses on sealed hard floors.

For tough, dried-on messes or grout lines, utilize the integrated Easy Scrubber:

1. Step on the flip-down scrubber lever located on the back of the mop head to deploy the scrubber bristles.
2. Scrub the stubborn area with the bristles while applying steam.
3. Once the mess is loosened, step on the lever again to retract the scrubber and continue mopping with the pad.

The flip-down Easy Scrubber helps power through tough messes.

To refresh low-pile carpets or rugs:
