WaRning:
1.
Never put descaling
aromatic, alcoholic, or
detergent products into
the steam cleaner, as this
may damage it or make it
unsafe for use.
Tip:
The Steam&Sweep may be used
as both a steam mop and a
sweeper at the same time.
caution:
Exercise extreme care when
using the Steam&Sweep on
timber flooring. Ensure the
Steam&Sweep is thoroughly
tested in an inconspicuous
area prior to mopping a large
floor area. The Steam&Sweep
generates hot steam, so
when depressing the trigger
to apply steam, ensure the
Steam&Sweep is moving
continuously. The trigger does
not need to be depressed at all
times. Prolonged application
of steam in one area increases
the risk of damage to the
surface treatment on timber
floors. Check with your
timber floor treatment and
application specialist prior
to Steam&Sweep operation.
Regular foot traffic and direct
sunlight will wear down timber
floor surface treatment, making
it more susceptible to steam
damage. Exercise extreme care
when using the Steam&Sweep
on timber flooring.
