BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the Steam Mop.

3. Following the instructions outlined in the Microfiber Cleaning Pads Care & Cleaning section of this Instruction Manual, wash the microfiber cleaning pads.

4. Attach the cleaning pad by fitting the mop head into the cleaning pad. Tighten the cleaning pad by pressing the circular lock (A) in one hand, while pulling the black drawstring with the other. When a tight fit is achieved, release the lock to secure in place.

ASSEMBLY

1. The Steam Mop comes in 2 pieces: telescoping upper handle and the lower body.
   
2. To assemble the Steam Mop for first time use, locate and line up the locking metal pin on the bottom of the telescoping handle with the pin set hole on the top of the lower body.
3. Depress the metal pin to insert the telescoping handle into the lower body. Push firmly until the locking pin pops up through the hole and locks into place.
   NOTE: The fit will be tight.

HOW TO USE

1. Always make sure the Steam Mop is unplugged.
   
2. Make sure the microfiber cleaning pad is properly attached to the mop head. And install following the procedure described in the (Before Using for the First Time) section of this Instruction Manual.
   
   NEVER USE THE STEAM MOP WITHOUT THE MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD PROPERLY ATTACHED.
3. Turn the water tank cap counter-clockwise to open. Lift roped cap up and off the tank.
4. Using the water fill cup and funnel, pour one full water fill cup into the water tank.
   
   Check the water tank viewing window to make sure water level does not exceed the MAX fill line. DO NOT OVERFILL.
5. Replace the water tank cap. Turn clockwise to tighten until snug.

MICROFIBER CLEANING PADS CARE & CLEANING

To ensure long life and continued cleaning ability, proper care of your microfiber cleaning pad is required. Read and follow cleaning instructions.

1. Microfiber cleaning pads can be machine washed in warm water with a mild detergent after each use or when dirty. CAUTION: Never use bleach or fabric softener.
   
   Only use liquid detergent or soap.
2. Air dry pads for 24 hours.
   NOTE: Cleaning pads may be machine tumble dried on low heat.
3. To avoid passing or picking up lint from the cleaning pads, wash the microfiber cleaning pads separately or place them in a garment bag.
   
   Wash microfiber cleaning pads regularly. As with any fabric, dirt particles can cause the fibers to break down. Therefore regular cleaning will help preserve the cleaning efficiency of the microfiber cleaning pads.
4. As the microfiber cleaning pad is used, sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal. Never pull loose threads as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim any loose threads with a pair of sharp scissors.
5. Dusting Pad* can be cared for and cleaned in same manner as microfiber pads.*Included with select models only
