Operation

Starting the Steam Mop

• Make sure the device has been filled with water before turning on. Do not run dry.

• The indicator light will turn red on each side of the water tank and the steam mop will begin preheating. If the indicators do not illuminate, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section for more details.
• It will take approximately 25 seconds for preheating. Once the steam mop is ready to use, the water tank will glow blue.
• Note: If power is interrupted during the preheating phase, when the steam mop is turned on again, it will repeat the preheating phase.
• A full water tank will run for approximately 20 minutes. When the water level runs low, the indicator will glow red and begin flashing.
• Press and hold the steam button to release steam.
• Direct the outlet (with any connected nozzle or accessories) toward the surface you wish to steam while holding the steam button. To stop the flow of steam, release the button.
• Increase the level of steam by turning the steam control knob clockwise.

Cleaning & Care

WARNING: Do not immerse the appliance in water.

Ensure that the product is powered off and unplugged before cleaning the appliance. Empty the water tank after use every time and clean the water tank.

How to decalcify the water tank interior

To clean calcium deposits that build up inside the water tank, add one or two tablespoons of white vinegar to the water tank and then shake the contents. Let it sit for several hours, then pour away the solution and rinse with clean water.

Cleaning procedure to remove scale

If your steam mop outputs steam more slowly than usual, or no steam, you may need to remove lime scale. Lime scale can develop over time on the metal parts and greatly affect steam mop performance.

It is necessary to remove lime scale on a regular basis every 25-50 times you use a full tank of water, or at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water. The frequency of lime scale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the steam mop.

By using cleaning solution

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and add to the water tank.
2. Secure and position the unit to ensure steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects and surface. Plug the unit in, turn the unit ON by pressing the power switch and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is used up.
3. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow rate is achieved.
4. Fill the water tank with fresh water and rinse.
5. Fill the water tank with fresh water, attach to the unit and release steam through the system until the water tank is empty.

WARNING: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the lime scale removal process and/or while in use.

Notice

Perform a test cleaning on a suitable isolated area after each lime scale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the system.

This product contains no serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it by yourself. Any servicing that requires disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician. All servicing should be done by an authorised service representative.
