Using: Filling the water tank
Press the water tank release button to eject the water tank.
Remove the tank by pulling it outwards, and upwards.
The water tank will arrive empty, however there may be a
little bit of residual water from testing.
Rotate the water tank so the black screw cap is at the top.
Unscrew the cap, turning anti-clockwise and remove.
Fill the tank with water.
When filling there may be a small amount of water that leaks
from the cap - hold it upside down over the sink.
Note:
Don’t use detergent cleaners, or anything other than water in
steam mop as it will impair performance and damage the mop.
Place the water tank back in to the main body of the steam
mop.
Push the screw cap in place, pushing downwards and inwards
until the tank clicks.
Note: Fully vacuum or sweep the floors prior to using the
steam mop.
Re-filling the water tank
When the water tank is empty, place the steam mop in the
upright position, turn it off, and remove the tank by pressing
the sides and lifting away.
Note: The water tank holds approximately 360ml of water,
and this provides approximately 15 minutes of continuous
steam.

Using your steam mop
Use the microfibre mop pads alone for cleaning sealed
