Operations
Using Your Hard Floor
Vacuum and Steam Mop
The hard floor cleaner can be used as a stick
vacuum and a steam mop at the same time or
separately. For best results and time savings, use
the powerful vacuum to clear floor of dust and
small debris as you steam mop.
Your hard floor cleaner is designed to clean hard
flooring, such as ceramic tile, vinyl, marble, stone
and sealed hard wood floors. Use on waxed or
some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished
glossiness. The hard floor cleaner is not for use
on unsealed wood floors. For best results, test in
an inconspicuous area and check the care
instructions from your flooring manufacturer.
1. Fill the unit with water and then plug the unit
in and wait 30 seconds for it to heat up. Choose
the level of steam to clean your floor:
HI (for durable floors or sticky messes) or
LO (for delicate floors or every day cleaning).
2. Press steam trigger on the underside of the
handle to actuate steam.
3. Push the VAC switch down to turn on the
cyclonic vacuum.
4. Begin cleaning by slowly moving the unit over
the floor surface while pressing the steam trigger
on the underside of the handle. Moisture on the
floor is normal when using in steam mode.
5. When the hard floor cleaner stops emitting
steam, turn the unit off (both steam mop and
vacuum functions) and unplug. Open the Easy
Fill opening of the water tank and use the water
cup to add more water to the tank. For best
results, water should be at room temperature.
Then close the Easy Fill opening, turn the unit
back on and continue cleaning.
NOTE: To be sure to sanitize an area of your
floor, use the microfibre cloth pads and slowly
and evenly stroke your steam mop back and
forth at least three times over the area using
continuous steam. For best results, remove the
pad and wash after use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off
and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before
performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
