Black & Decker SM1620 Carpet Cleaner User Manual


 
The steam mop will select the correct volume of steam required for your particular
cleaning operation.
WARNING: Do not use on any unsealed hard floor surfaces. Additionally, on
surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be
removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated
area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you
check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
General
NOTICE:
Never use the steam mop without first attaching a cleaning pad.
Always vacuum or sweep the floor before using the steam mop.
The easiest way to use the machine is to tilt the handle to a 45˚ angle and clean slowly,
covering a small area at a time.
Do not use chemical cleaners with your steam mop. To remove stubborn stains from
vinyl or linoleum floors, you can pre-treat with a mild detergent and some water before
using the steam mop.
