Operations
Using your Vac & Steam 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, 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. Plug the unit in and wait 30 seconds for it to
heat up. When the steam Ready light illuminates,
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 passing the unit over
the floor surface while pressing the steam trigger
on the underside of the handle.
5. When the hard floor cleaner stops emitting
steam, turn the unit off (both steam mop and
vacuum functions) and unplug. Open the easy

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
