Operating Instructions

Your Vacmaster SMF1501 offers two primary modes of operation: upright steam mop and detachable handheld steamer.

Using as an Upright Steam Mop

1. Heat Up: After plugging in, the steam mop will heat up in approximately 20-25 seconds. The indicator light will change (e.g., from blue to green) when it's ready to produce steam.
2. Select Steam Setting: Use the steam control buttons (+/-) on the handle to select your desired steam level (low or high).
3. Begin Cleaning: Slowly move the steam mop across the floor surface. The steam will be released automatically. For stubborn stains, hold the mop over the area for a few seconds.
4. Carpet Cleaning: For carpets, attach the carpet glider over the microfiber pad. Move the mop slowly over the carpet to refresh and deodorize.

Using as a Detachable Handheld Steamer

1. Detach Unit: Press the release button to detach the handheld steamer unit from the main body.
2. Attach Accessory: Select the appropriate accessory for your cleaning task (e.g., brush for grout, scraper for tough grime, curved nozzle for tight spaces). Securely attach it to the nozzle of the handheld unit.
3. Begin Cleaning: Direct the steam towards the area to be cleaned. Use the steam control buttons on the handheld unit to adjust steam intensity.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your steam mop.

1. Empty Water Tank: After each use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Leave the tank cap open to allow it to air dry, preventing odor and mildew buildup.
2. Clean Microfiber Pads: The microfiber pads are washable and reusable. Remove them from the mop head and machine wash with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
3. Clean Accessories: Wipe down all accessories with a damp cloth after use. Ensure they are dry before storing.
4. Descaling (Monthly/As Needed): If you notice reduced steam output or mineral residue, descaling may be necessary. Consult the full user manual for detailed descaling instructions, typically involving a vinegar solution.
