OPERATING THE STEAM MOP
Before operating, make sure Microfiber Cloth is properly attached (Page 8) and Boiler is filled
with water (Page 9).
1. For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug. Plug power
cord into a convenient electrical outlet.
2. Place Resting Pad on floor, so that textured side faces upward. Rest Mop Head on top of Pad, in
order to help protect floor surface from excess heat and moisture during heat-up period.
3. Gently press down on Foot-Controlled On/Off Switch until you hear it click. Red Power Indicator
Light will illuminate to show that unit is receiving power. At the same time, green Heating
Indicator Light will illuminate to show that Boiler is heating.
4. After approximately 3 minutes of heating time, unit will begin emitting steam.
5. Remove unit from Resting Pad, and begin mopping.
Refer to Page 11 for a listing of hard floor surfaces that are recommended for cleaning with
the Steam Mop.
6. For best results, use a steady back-and-forth motion over floor surface, pushing Steam Mop away
and pulling it back towards you. Work your way backwards over the floor, in order to avoid
walking over freshly mopped areas.
7. To effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, repeatedly mop a single small area (approximately
3’ x 3’ for best results) for at least 2 minutes.
8. Once all water has been used, green Heating Indicator Light will turn off to show that Boiler is
empty. If you wish to continue mopping, first turn unit off by pressing down gently on Foot-
Controlled On/Off Switch until it clicks, then unplug power cord from outlet. Refer to Filling with
Water procedure on Page 9 to add water to Boiler.
9. The Microfiber Cloth will absorb dirt and moisture during mopping. However, when you are
finished you may find some residual moisture has been left behind. In this case, it is
recommended to allow floor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards mopped area to
facilitate drying.
10. Once your mopping tasks are completed, immediately turn unit off by pressing down gently on
Foot-Controlled On/Off Switch until it clicks, then unplug power cord from outlet. Place unit
back onto Resting Pad, then refer to procedures on Page 12 for propercleaning and storage of
your Steam Mop.
