Cleaning hard floors
Your Lift-Off Steam Mop is designed to
clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile,
vinyl, laminate, marble, stone and sealed
hard wood floors. Use of your Lift-Off
Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed
floors may result in a diminished glossiness.
The Lift-Off Steam Mop 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. When the ready light illuminates, begin
cleaning by slowly passing over surface while
pressing the steam on demand trigger to
emit steam as needed.
2. To sanitise an area of your floor, (attack
invisible germs and bacteria) place the
centre of the Lift-Off Steam Mop over the
spot and apply steam for a minimum of 15
seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds. For
larger areas, overlap swivel head placement.
Important: Sanitising on timber floors is not
recommended, as prolonged application
of steam in one area increases the risk of
damage to the surface treatment of timber
floors, especially in areas with regular foot
traffic and direct sunlight, which will wear
down timber floor surface treatments,
making it more susceptible to steam
damage. See CAUTION to the right.
3. When the Lift-Off Steam Mop stops
emitting steam, simply remove the water
tank, refill, and continue cleaning.
NOTE: upon first use of this steam product
or first use of a new filter, the pump may
make a "knocking" sound while the filter
fills with water. This sound is normal and
may last up to one minute. Continue to
depress the trigger until the knocking
sound subsides and the unit emits steam.
Steam cleaning all living areas
Stubborn messes that resist traditional
water and cleaning solutions can be
removed with steam. Toothpaste or hair
spray on the bathroom sink, soap scum on
sliding shower walls—steam makes all these
far easier to clean.
1. Fill the water tank with cool tap water or
distilled/demineralised water and replace
back on Detachable Steam Pod.
2. Remove Steam Pod by pressing the pod
release button on the top of the carry handle
and pulling the pod out and away from the
lower base.
3. Remove cable from pod and connect the
plug to an appropriate electrical socket.
4. Remove hose from pod by pressing the
clip at the end of the hose where it connects
to the detachable pod.

Maintenance & Care
When you're done
1. Unplug power cable from electrical socket.
2. Carefully remove mop pad from swivel
head, as mop pad and lower assembly will
be hot.
3. Any water remaining in the water tank
should be emptied prior to machine storage.
4. Mop pad can be machine washed in warm
water. Use only liquid detergents. Do not use
bleach or fabric softeners; for best results,
air dry.
5. Wrap power cable around quick release
cable wrap on side of Detachable Steam Pod.
Replacing the water filter
If you fill your Lift-Off Steam Mop cleaner
with normal tap water, it is essential to check
the water purification system and replace it
when it is no longer effective. Change the
filter when the bright green grains turn blue.
If the filter is not changed at the appropriate
time, calcium deposits will accumulate on
the heating element, causing damage or
reduced performance.
Using distilled or demineralised water will
maximise the performance of your filter.
