tor (22) will light up red and the low steam supply indi-
cator (23) will light up blue. When the indicator (22)
lights up blue, the steam mop is ready for operation.
Consequently press the button (20) to select the
required level of steam supply.
To keep the power cord out of the way during cleaning,
pass it through the upper hook (10).
Install the frame for carpets (17) on the floor brush (1)
with the cloth (18) attached. To do this, install the floor
brush on the frame and press until the frame snaps
into place.
The frame (17) provides the easy gliding of the brush
(1) along the carpets without the cloth (18) slipping up.
Connect the power plug (4) to the mains socket and
press the on/off button (21). The switch on indicator
(22) will light up red and the low steam supply indicator
(23) will light up blue. When the indicator (22) lights up
blue, the steam mop is ready for operation.
Consequently press the button (20) to select the
required level of steam supply.
Before cleaning the floor, it is recommended to sweep
or vacuum it to remove dust and dirt particles.
When washing the floor, move the unit in an even back
and forth motion, pushing it away from you and pull-
ing it back. Move backwards to avoid stepping on the
already washed floor.
The microfiber cloth (18) collects water when washing
the floor. However, depending on the characteristics
of the floor surface and the set steam intensity, some
moisture may remain on the floor. In this case, it is rec-
ommended to let the floor dry naturally. Drying can be
accelerated by using a fan directed to the desired area.
After you finish cleaning, remove the cloth (18) from the
floor brush (1). Then the floor under the mop will not get
soaked from a damp cloth.
• You can clean the carpets with the floor brush (1) with
installed frame (17). To freshen the carpet, try to do
the following: mix one part of water with one part of a
carpet shampoo. Spray the solution on the carpet and
leave it for 2 hours. After that clean the carpet with the
steam mop. The carpet will be wet after this procedure,
so you'll have to dry it.
