IMPORTANT:
Before use, hardoors should be thoroughly swept and carpets
should be thoroughly dry vacuumed. However, we recommend that the steam mop
is not used on:
•
Bare wooden oors or any surfaces where wood is exposed (as it will absorb
moisture and may distort).
•
Damaged hardoors or hardoors with gaps present (as it will absorb moisture
and may distort).
Also, do not keep the steam mop in one place for an extended period, because the
continual heat may cause damage to carpets and laminate ooring.
Please disconnect and allow the unit to cool before changing pads and
attachments.

funnel and water cup and then close the ll cap.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent limescale build-up in the water tank, never ll the tank

not drop the water tank full of water on the ground.
3. Press the water tank release buttons and ret the water tank to the handheld
steam cleaner.
4. Reposition the handheld steam cleaner back into the main body.
Using Your Steam Mop
NOTE:

Choose the correct accessory for steam cleaning. Use only textile pad for cleaning
on bare oor surfaces. Use both textile pad and carpet glider for cleaning on
carpets or rugs.
Vacuum or sweep the oor surface prior to steam cleaning.
IMPORTANT:
Please remember that the steam mop operates by emitting steam
at a temperature of 115
o
C. Always test on an inconspicuous area rst. Never use
it on objects or surfaces which cannot resist this temperature, or on surfaces with
coatings or polishes, or on delicate materials such as synthetic fabric, plastic,
natural fur or antique items etc.
If in doubt, check carefully on a part of the material where minor marks will not
matter.
-12-
IMPORTANT:
Do not use disinfectant, detergents, cleaning solutions, scented
oils or scented water, bleach or vinegar in your steam product. They will cause
damage to your product and invalidate your guarantee. We recommend you only
use deionised or distilled water to ll your steam mop.

WARNING
Turn off and unplug before changing nozzles. After use, nozzles will be very hot.
Allow to cool before handling to avoid injury.
WARNING
When operating the product in handheld mode, only hold the device by the
designated handle.
The underside of the handheld steam cleaner will become warm during use - this
is normal. Never place the product on delicate surfaces that could be affected by
heat.
To prevent damage, refrain from obstructing any nozzle, such as by pressing it
against a cleaning surface.
Attachments
Conic Pipe
This attachment is the base attachment for all handheld accessories, excluding
the utility nozzle.
It can also be used alone to clean places or crevices that are not easily
accessible.
-16-
Curved Nozzle
This attachment is ideal for cleaning toilet bowls, taps, and drain covers. To
remove non-permanent stains from carpets or upholstery, point the attachment
directly at the stain and hold a clean cloth nearby to absorb any loosened dirt.
Scraper
This attachment is used to remove stubborn buildup, or to help de-ice the
refrigerator or freezer.
Round Brush
This attachment is designed for use on a variety of surfaces, including tiles,
ovens, wheels, and glass.
Small Round Brush
This attachment is for use on hard stainless-steel surfaces such as grates on a
grill.
Double Brush Tool
This attachment is used to remove dirt from grooves and crevices.
-17-
Utility Nozzle
This base attachment is used with the following accessories:
Small Mop
for covering the utility nozzle when cleaning upholstery and bedding.
This accessory is useful for cleaning tile and or glass surfaces, cabinets, and
countertops. As well as, upholstery, curtains, blinds, pillows and mattresses.
Squeegee attachment
can be attached to the utility nozzle by inserting the hooks
at the back of the squeegee attachment into the loops on the back of the utility
nozzle, then secure the front of the utility nozzle into the locking clip on the top of
the squeegee attachment (as shown).
Remove the squeegee attachment after use by holding the locking clip forward.
The utility nozzle should still be attached to the hooks at the back of the
squeegee attachment, pivot the utility nozzle up and unhook it from the squeegee
attachment.
Hooks
Locking Clip
-18-
The squeegee attachment is ideal for cleaning tiled or glass areas such as
windows or mirrors. To clean windows, start at the top, press the squeegee to the
surface and drag downwards in straight passes from top to bottom. Dry the rubber
blade and window edge after each pass. For small windows, spray the steam
directly to the surface and wipe away moisture with the squeegee.
Run-Dry and Blockage Protection
If the steam mop is operated without water, then after a few minutes the pump
that supplies the water to the boiler will stop and the indicator light will change
color to red. If this happens, switch the product off, rell the tank and then switch
back on. After the 25 second heat-up time, the pump will start to work and steam
will be emitted.
The indicator light will change to red and the pump will shut off if there is a
blockage to the steam nozzle. If this happens, switch off and allow the product to
cool before examining the nozzle for a potential blockage.
NOTE:
Using the product with tap water can result in a build-up of limescale
inside the product boiler that may cause a blockage. This would not be covered by
the warranty.
Brass Ball Weight
The brass ball weight inside the water tank is attached to the end of the suction
hose. The ball is weighted and designed to freely move around the water tank
of the handheld steam cleaner. If the ball does get stuck outside the water level,
gently shake the product until it comes free. The ball must remain in the water so
steam can be generated whenever the steam button is pressed regardless of the
orientation of the handheld steam cleaner.
Rinsing the Water Tank
Regularly rinse the water tank to release any deposits that have collected at the
bottom of the tank. Only use deionised, demineralised or distilled water (available
from most large supermarkets) and close the ll cap to allow vigorous rinsing.
WARNING
Do not use on very cold glass, as the sudden temperature change may crack the
glass.
WARNING
Never attempt to use descaler in the product.
-19-
WARNING
To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect the power cord and turn off, allow the
steam mop to fully cool down before performing any cleaning, maintaining or
storing.
This product contains no serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it by yourself.
If there is any servicing that requires disassembly other than cleaning, contact
customer service.
MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM MOP
After Use
Follow the two maintenance steps below after every use.
1. Turn the cleaner off and unplug from the outlet. Place immediately on a
suitable surface (eg. tiled oor) where the residual heat/moisture in the oor
nozzle/pad will not affect the surface. Wait until the cleaner has cooled down
completely.
2. Empty the water tank by opening the ll cap and pouring out the water. Allow
the inside of the water tank to dry out before closing the ll cap.
Storage
We recommend storing the steam mop with the carpet glider attached, but the
pads removed to minimise the likelihood of any water leaking onto surfaces.
Rotate the upper cord hook upwards, then wrap the cord around the upper and
lower cord hooks to secure the power cord.
-20-
The upright handle is collapsible for compact storage by pressing the upright
handle release button.
WARNING:
When locking the handle, keep this area clear. Be careful not to trap your ngers
or any loose items of clothing etc.
Overall Maintenance
Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand normal day-to-day use, but an
occasional wipe over with a damp cloth will help maintain it. Abrasive cleaners
should not be used.
Cleaning the Pads
The textile pad and the small mop can all be machine washed (40ºC max). For
heavy soiling, soak the pads in warm water and detergent or a mild stain remover.
IMPORTANT: Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Allow pads to completely dry before storing.
Maintaining the Attachments
Dirt and blockages should be regularly removed from the attachments to help
prolong their usage.
