The Steam Mop is designed to thoroughly clean oor surfaces, such as marble,
ceramic, carpet, stone, linoleum, and sealed hardwood oors and parquet.
Not all oor types are suitable for steam cleaning.
The heat and steam action my remove the wax on surfaces treated with wax. Do not
use on unsealed ooring or let unit stand on any wood or heat sensitive oor for an
extended period of time.This could cause the wood grain to rise, in addition to other
types of damage.
When using on vinyl, linoleum or any other heat sensitive oors, use extra caution.
Too much heat can melt glue in the ooring. Use only on laminated ooring that has
been laid professionally and without any gaps or cracks that would permit the entry
of moisture.
Test the Steam Mop on a small isolated area of your ooring prior to overall use on
any oor surface.
Always check the use and care instructions of your ooring manufacturer or distribu-
tor before using the Steam Mop.
When in doubt,please consult a ooring specialist. Only use the carpet glider
on carpeting and rugs
