Instructions for Use

Filling the Water Tank

• Unplug the steam mop from the mains power supply.
• Fit the filter inside the anti-calcium filter jug and then fill the jug with water.

Warning: Never place descaling, aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into the steam mop tank, as this will cause damage to the steam mop and void your warranty.

The water tank can be filled using two different methods:

Method I

• Open the water tank cap by unscrewing it in an anticlockwise direction.
• Using the anti-calcium filter jug, fill the tank with 350 ml of water.

Note: The water may take a few minutes to rise to the maximum, 350 ml capacity. Be careful not to fill the water tank past this level.

Method 2

• Remove the water tank from the steam mop body, open the water tank cap by unscrewing it in an anticlockwise direction and then fill the tank using the anti-calcium filter jug provided.
• Replace the water tank cap and then replace the water tank back onto the steam mop main body.

Filling the Water Tank During Use

• Using as a Steam Mop: Press the front steam button to deactivate steam production, unscrew the water tank cap by twisting it in an anticlockwise direction and pour in the water. Replace the water tank cap and then press the front steam button again to reactivate steam production.
• Using as a Handheld Unit: Ensure that the handheld steam trigger is not pressed, unscrew the water tank cap by twisting it in an anticlockwise direction and pour in the water. Replace the water tank cap and then press the handheld steam trigger again to reactivate steam production.

Using the Steam Mop

• Ensure that the assembled handle has been inserted into the steam cleaner main body, according to the instructions given in the section entitled, ‘Attaching the Handle'.
• Plug the steam mop into the mains power supply.
• The indicator lights will illuminate red at each side of the water tank to indicate that the steam mop is heating up. If the lights do not illuminate, please check the ‘Troubleshooting' section for more information.
• The steam mop will take approximately 25 seconds to heat up.
• Once it has reached the correct temperature, the water tank will change to blue; the steam mop is now ready to use.
• Press the front steam button to activate steam production. Steam will run continuously until the front steam button is pressed again or until the water tank runs out of water.
• A full water tank will supply approximately 20 minutes of steam. If the water tank is empty, the indicator lights inside of the water tank will glow red and flash.

Control the steam output using the adjustable steam control on the front of the steam mop main body; turn the control clockwise to increase steam production or anticlockwise to reduce it.

Note: The handheld steam trigger is deactivated while the handle is inserted into the main body. Do not attempt to use the steam mop as a handheld unit whilst the handle is inserted.

Using the Steam Mop as a Handheld Steamer

• Press the handle release button to remove the handle from the steam mop main body.
• Install the accessory adaptor at the top of the steam mop main body until it clicks into position.
• Select the required accessory and attach it by aligning the arrow indicators and turning clockwise.
• Allow the water to heat up (as described in the section entitled 'Using the Steam Mop') and then press the front steam button.
• To activate steam production, press and hold the handheld steam trigger.

Steam will stop being produced when the handheld steam trigger is released.

Note: The handheld steam trigger will only be active when the handle has been removed for use as a handheld steam cleaner.

Accessories

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the steam mop from the mains power supply and allow it to cool sufficiently.
• Drain any remaining water from the water tank and clean it after every use.
• Wipe the steam mop main body with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.
• Clean the triangular mop head in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Never immerse the electrical components of the steam mop in water or any other liquid.
• The steam mop water tank and accessories are not suitable for dishwasher use.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or detergents.
• The mop head pad is machine washable on a 'warm' setting. Always use a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Never use bleach or fabric softener when washing the mop head pad.

Warning: Do not turn on the steam mop during cleaning.

Removing Limescale

If the steam mop begins to produce steam slower than usual or stops producing steam altogether, you may need to remove limescale.

Limescale can develop over time on the metal parts of the steam mop and greatly affect its performance. It is necessary to remove limescale on a regular basis, after 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 limescale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and usage. Calcium deposits may be emitted with the steam. Please descale in a sink, bucket or towel to protect carpets etc.

1. To remove the limescale, prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and add it to the water tank.
2. Secure and position the steam mop to ensure that the steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects and surfaces.
3. Plug the steam mop into the mains power supply and turn it on; allow it to produce steam until all of the solution is used.
4. Repeat the above procedure as often as necessary, then fill the tank with fresh water and rinse.

Warning: Do not leave the steam mop unattended during the limescale removal process or during use.

Note: Perform a test on a suitable isolated surface after limescale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the unit.

Note: Due to the nature of UK water supplies, some areas of the country experience larger amounts of limescale build-up. If you live in one of these areas you may need to decalcify the unit more often.

Removing Calcium Deposits

• From the water tank: Add one or two tablespoons of white vinegar to a full water tank and close it. Shake the contents, then rinse thoroughly.
• From the accessories: Due to the high mineral water content in certain areas, you may notice less steam from the accessories. This may be caused by calcium build-up inside the accessories. It is recommended to use the vinegar solution indicated in the 'Removing Limescale Section' inside the affected accessory. Once the accessory has been rinsed with the vinegar solution, fill the water tank with water and run a continuous jet of steam through the affected accessory for several minutes to clear the pathway.

Note: Aim the accessory at a neutral surface or cleaning cloth to ensure that no debris is emitted.

Troubleshooting

Storage

• Before storing the steam mop, ensure that it has cooled and dried fully.
• Ensure that the water tank is empty.
• Remove the mop head pad, making sure that it has been cleaned according to the instructions in the 'Cleaning and Maintenance' section.
• Store in a cool, dry place.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

Non-rewireable mains plug

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating).

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

If you need to remove the plug - DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY and then cut it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.
