STEAM MOPPING
NOTE: It is recommended to sweep or vacuum oors before mopping.
• Make sure Extension Pole, Mop Head and a Microber Pad are all properly connected.
• Follow General Operating Instructions above to begin steaming.
• Mop using a steady back-and-forth motion over the oor, working your way backwards in order to avoid
walking over the freshly mopped area.
NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, do not use on unsealed hardwood
or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Care should also be taken when steaming sealed hardwood oors, as
prolonged exposure to steam in a single spot may cause damage and discoloration.To avoid this,
keep the 3-in-1 Steam Mop in constant motion on these surfaces. Steam may remove the sheen from
some oors that have been treated with wax.
Surfaces that are not properly sealed may be warped or damaged by exposure to heat and moisture.
Before steaming any ooring, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines.For ooring in
question, always test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding.
• The Microber Pad will absorb moisture during mopping. However, depending on oor surface and
steam intensity setting, some residual moisture may be left behind. In this case, it is recommended to
allow oor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards mopped area to facilitate drying.

GENERAL STEAMING TIPS
You will nd nearly limitless uses for your 3-in-1 Steam Mop. There are no rules when it
comes to steam cleaning and/or the attachments you received with your unit. Use whichever
attachment seems to accomplish the intended job quickly and easily. Below are a few
startingguidelines:
Many surfaces only require to be sprayed with the Jet Nozzle to clean and disinfect them,
then wiped with a clean dry cloth, towel, or paper towel.
EX: kitchen counters, microwaves, stove tops, bathroom sinks, kitchen and bath xtures
The nylon Utility Brushes can be used on most surfaces for hard-to-remove dirt, grime spots
or stains. EX: baked on food on ovens and oven doors, baked on stove top spills, bath
and/or kitchen grease and grime, rubber seal on the refrigerator, under/around bath
and kitchen xtures, bath tile seams, grouting
NOTE: Use careful judgement when deciding what surface to clean with the Utility Brush.
Some delicate surfaces may be scratched or damaged by the bristles. If you are unsure
whether or not a surface will be damaged, it is recommended that you test a small
inconspicuous spot beforeproceeding.
Steam is effective for removing spots and stains from clothing and upholstery. This can be
done with steam alone or with a stain remover designed for your specic use. DO NOT put
any type of chemical or liquid product in your steamer. Only water is to be used in the unit.
Older, dried stains on carpet or hard oor surfaces may require a bit of extra scrubbing with
the Utility Brush and/or a product designed for stain removal. It is helpful on carpet to blot
with a clean dry towel to help remove the spot/stain.
The brass Utility Brush is useful for heavy-duty jobs and durable surfaces such as BBQ grills,
oven racks, etc. DO NOT use this Brush on anything that the hard bristles might scratch
ordamage.
The Extension Pole should be attached for mopping oors, but is also useful for reaching
overhead or otherwise hard-to-reach places. When raising unit to reach high places, it is best
to grasp Pole with both hands for better support.
This should help to get you started with your new 3-in-1 Steam Mop. As you use your steamer,
you will nd what works best for you and your cleaning projects. Should you have any
questions on how to best utilize you new steamer, please feel free to contact our Consumer
Service Department at:

Storage & Care
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your 3-in-1 Steam Mop for storage is quick and simple. When you have completed your tasks,
follow the steps listed below.
1. Press Power Button to Off (the red Power Indicator Light will turn off), and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit time to cool (at least 5 minutes).
3. Remove all attachments and accessories from unit.
4. Remove Water Tank Cap and drain any remaining water from Water Tank into a sink or tub to minimize
potential mineral build-up. Replace Water Tank Cap when done.
5. Collapse Extension Pole to shortest length and wrap power cord around Cord Brackets.
6. Store 3-in-1 Steam Mop in a cool, dry location, along with all included accessories.
WATER TREATMENT CARTRIDGE
Your 3-in-1 Steam Mop includes a removable Water Treatment Cartridge, which
removes impurities from water to prolong the life of the unit. To keep the Water
Treatment Cartridge functioning at its maximum potential, it is recommended that
it be removed and replaced after 40 hours of use. To do this:
1. Remove Water Tank.
2. Grasp Water Treatment Cartridge handle and pull towards you to remove.
3. Replace with a new Water Treatment Cartridge (Figure 1) and replace
WaterTank.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high mineral
content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the effectiveness and reduce the
life of your 3-in-1 Steam Mop.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using your
3-in-1 Steam Mop. In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below be followed at least
once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of your 3-in-1
Steam Mop and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1. Follow STEPS 1-4 under Proper Storage section above. However, do not replace Water Tank
Cap at the end of STEP 4.
2. Fill Measuring Cup (not included) with 3.5 oz. (103 ml.) distilled water and 1.5 oz. (44 ml.) vinegar.
3. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through Fill Hole, then replace Water Tank Cap.
4. Plug in power cord and press Power Button to “ON” and increase steam setting to Level 7 “HIGH”. Allow
unit to steam for 1 minute, then press Power Button to “OFF”.
5. Allow unit to sit for approximately 30 minutes, then press Power Button to “ON” and increase steam setting
to Level 7 “HIGH” and allow the remainder of the Water Tank’s contents to be steamed out.
6. Once Water Tank is drained, turn unit off and rell Tank with 15 oz. (444 ml.) of fresh distilled water. Press
Power Button to “ON” and increase steam setting to Level 7 “HIGH,” and allow unit to steam until Water
Tank is empty. Repeat as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
7. Press Power Button to “OFF”, unplug power cord and store 3-in-1 Steam Mop as usual.
IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral build-up removal procedure
once per month (if unit is used once every week). More frequent use may require following the
procedure more often in order to keep your 3-in-1 Steam Mop operating at full potential. Do not
exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning out mineral build-up.
