4. Wrap the cable around the palm of your hand into a circle. Then, place the wrap strap around the cable and back onto itself to secure.

NOTE: For instructions on attaching the wall mount and Storage, please refer to page 12.

WARNING: Never put descaling aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use. Tinted plates on foot may get hot while steam mop is in use. Do not touch while hot. Upright storage of the steam mop with a wet mop pad may result in the formation of white marks on your floor. To remove the white marks, clean area with vinegar.

Filling Your Easy Fill Water Tank

1. The water tank is located on the top of the handheld pod.
2. Pull the tank cap straight up to open.
3. Use water cup provided and fill with distilled or demineralized water, recommended in place of tap water. Close the tank cap after filling.

NOTE: Use of distilled water or demineralized water is recommended to prolong the life of your steam mop.

A few notes about filling the Easy Fill Water Tank:

• The tank's capacity is 350 mL (12 oz).
• Do not use chemicals in the water tank of your steam mop.
• Other solutions may harm the machine and void the warranty.
• Never put descaling, alcoholic, eucalyptus oil, or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.

Attaching Microfibre Mop Pads

1. Your steam mop may have come with two different pads: White Mop Pad and Scrubby Mop Pad. The White Mop Pad is best for everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed hardwoods and laminate. The Scrubby Mop Pad is recommended for durable surfaces like tile.
2. To attach mop pad, wrap it around the bottom of the foot, making sure the gray stitching is on the front of the foot and the quick grip release tab is on the back.

Using SmartSet Steam Control

1. Plug machine into a properly grounded outlet.
2. When the machine is plugged in, the STEAM READY light will start to blink.
3. After 30 seconds, the STEAM READY light will turn to a solid light. This means the steam mop is heated and ready to use.
4. Now, select a desired steam level based on your cleaning needs. Push the HI STEAM button once to turn ON. Use HI STEAM when cleaning durable floors or sticky messes. Push the LOW STEAM button once to turn ON. Use LOW STEAM for delicate floors or for light, everyday cleaning.
5. To turn steam OFF, press the PAUSE button once.

NOTE: You must wait until the STEAM READY light is a solid colour before selecting your desired steam level. Upon the first use of your steam mop or first use after refilling the water tank, the pump may make a “knocking” sound. This is normal and will diminish after a few seconds.

Cleaning Your Hard Floors

NOTE: Thoroughly sweep or vacuum floor prior to cleaning with your steam mop.

YOUR STEAM MOP IS DESIGNED TO CLEAN HARD FLOORING SUCH AS CERAMIC TILE, LAMINATE, MARBLE, STONE, AND SEALED HARDWOOD FLOORS. USE OF YOUR STEAM MOP ON WAXED OR SOME UNWAXED FLOORS MAY RESULT IN A DIMINISHED GLOSSINESS. THE STEAM MOP IS NOT FOR USE ON UNSEALED FLOORS. FOR BEST RESULTS, TEST IN AN INCONSPICUOUS AREA AND CHECK THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOUR FLOORING MANUFACTURER. DON'T STAND STATIONARY AND KEEP THE MOP MOVING WHEN DISPENSING STEAM.

1. Plug machine into a properly grounded outlet.
2. Make sure the STEAM READY light is solid before selecting the appropriate steam level based on your hard floor cleaning needs.
3. Step on the side of the foot to recline the body of the machine to begin cleaning.

NOTE: Your steam mop may have already come assembled with a mop pad on the foot. If not, refer to instructions on page 6 in the “Attaching Microfibre Mop Pads” section to learn how to attach the mop pad.

4. Push the trigger underneath the handle of the handheld pod to release steam.
5. To easily manoeuvre and clean tight spaces such as baseboards, behind the toilet and around furniture, take advantage of the swivel steering.
6. For best results to sanitize an area of your floor, use the microfibre cloth pads and slowly and evenly move your steam mop back and forth at least three times over the area using continuous steam. Remove the pad after use and wash.
7. When finished cleaning, turn OFF the machine by pressing the PAUSE button and unplugging it.

Above Floor Cleaning
