OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Steam Mop
IMPORTANT: Never use the steam mop
without the micro-fiber cleaning pad
attached to the mop head or without water
in the water tank.
Please note that when using for the first
time, the appliance may take longer than
the normal 30 second startup time to
steam. You may need to pump the handle
a few times before the steam is released.
This is due to the water making its way
from the water tank through the pump and
into the heater. This will only occur during
the first use.
1. Sweep or vacuum floors before using
the steam mop.
2. Twist the quick release cord holder to
unwrap the power cord completely.
3. Plug into a 120-volt electrical outlet.
4. The power “On” light will turn green.
5. It takes approximately 30 seconds for
the unit to heat up and the steam to be
ready.
6. Pump the handle a few times to
dampen the micro-fiber cleaning pad.
Begin mopping with a forward and
backward motion, this pumping action
will release steam as you mop.

Filling the Water Tank
IMPORTANT: Always insure that the
unit is “UNPLUGGED” from the wall
receptacle prior to filling and before
attaching the micro-fiber cleaning pad to
the bottom of the mop head. Never use
the steam mop without the micro-fiber
cleaning pad attached to the mop head.
NOTE: When using your new steam mop
for the first time you may notice water
residue inside of the unit. Water drops
can also be found in the packaging. This
is normal and you should not be alarmed.
Each steam mop is 100% tested in the
factory to ensure product performance
and safety. Sometimes
water is left in the unit
from these test procedures.
1. Turn the cap
counter clockwise
and then lift up to
remove from the
water tank. (Fig. 4)
2. Using the filling flask and funnel, pour
one flask of water into the water tank.
Do not overfill the unit past the “MAX”
fill line on the water tank. (Fig. 4)
3. Replace the cap onto the water tank.
To Extend the Telescopic Tube
1. Lift the locking latch up 90°.
(Fig. 3)
2. Holding the handle, extend the
telescopic tube to the desired
length. (Fig. 3)
3. When you have the telescopic
tube to the length that you
want, close the locking latch.
HELPFUL HINT: If you find
the Steam Mop difficult to
push/pull during use, then
simply increase the height
of the pole.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. When the water tank is empty, the
steam mop will stop emitting steam.
Unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and refill the water tank
following the instructions above.
8. When you have finished using the
steam mop, unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet and carefully remove
the micro-fiber cleaning pad from the
mop head. Please note that the micro-
fiber cleaning pad gets very hot with
the steam. Always use caution when
removing.
9. Never leave the micro-fiber cleaning
pad on the steam mop head when
you have finished using the steam
mop. Always remove the micro-fiber
cleaning pad and wash in warm water
with a mild detergent. Never use
bleach or fabric softener when
washing the reusable micro-fiber
cleaning pad. The micro-fiber cleaning
pad may be washed in a washing
machine and dried in a clothes drier on
low heat. We recommend that you air
dry.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when machine
washing or drying with mixed fabrics as
micro-fiber pads will pick up lint from other
fabrics and the hook and latch strips will
stick to other garments. We recommend
washing the micro-fiber cleaning pads
separately or placing them in a garment
bag first.
CAUTION: Never store the steam mop
with a wet or damp micro-fiber
cleaning pad still attached as this will
damage your floors.
Care & Maintenance of the Micro-
Fiber Cleaning Pad
Due to the unique cleaning ability of this
pad, proper care of your micro-fiber
cleaning pad is required to ensure long
life and continued cleaning ability.
The first thing you should do when you
get a new micro-fiber cleaning pad is
to wash and dry it. During the
manufacturing process the fabric has
a tendency to become flat as it picks
up contaminants from the air and
machinery. There will also be a number
of loose threads that, while they cause
no harm, can be annoying the first time
you use the pad.
To wash the micro-fiber cleaning pad,
simply put it in your washing machine
using the warm water setting or hand
wash.
We recommend washing your micro-
fiber cleaning pads separately from
other fabrics or placing them in a
garment bag first if washing by
machine. They have a tendency to
pick up lint and other particles from
other fabrics and the next time you
use your micro-fiber cleaning pad, this
lint will transfer to the surface being
cleaned.
ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS,
never use dry detergents as many
times the granules do not fully
dissolve and become trapped in the
cleaning pad. This can scratch the
surface that you are cleaning.
NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC
SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the
micro-fiber fabric and fabric softeners
deposit a coating on the micro-fiber
fabric what will not allow the pad to
clean efficiently.
We recommend that you air dry the
micro-fiber cleaning pad. If using a
clothes dryer, do not put on a high
heat setting as high heat will cause
the micro-fiber pad to shrink and the
micro-fibers to break down.
Wash the micro-fiber cleaning pads
regularly and don’t allow them get too
dirty so that they will last much longer.
As with any fabric, dirt particles,
grease and other contaminants can
cause the fibers to break down,
therefore regular cleaning will help
preserve your micro-fiber cleaning
pads.
As you use the micro-fiber cleaning
pad, you will notice that sometimes a
thread will loosen or pull out. This is
normal and you should NEVER PULL
AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the
thread can cause the weave to come
undone. Instead, simply trim the
thread with a pair of sharp scissors.
