•Damage to the main body and separate components
•Damage to the plug or cable.
If you can see any damage do not use the cleaner and refer to the contact
details at the bottom of this page.
Assembling the steam mop
Note: Before assembling/disassembling any parts of the product make
sure the unit is unplugged and has cooled sufficiently.
1. Align the body of the steam unit with the groove in the head. Lower until the
unit ‘clicks’ and secures into place.
2. Place the bottom on the handle into the main body, lowering until it ‘clicks’
and secures into place.
3. Ensure the hard water filter is secured in the main body where the water tank
is entered. This may need replacing with regular use.

and secure. Note: This will need to be filled for use.

PREPARING YOUR STEAM CLEANER
Attaching the mop pad
When using the cleaner as a mop you must attach a microfibre mop pad that is
provided.
1. To attach, put the pad on the floor and place the assembled steam mop onto
the pad.
2. Lift the front of the pad over the front of the mop head, followed by the back.
3. To secure, push the sides of the toggle head in and pull back the string.
To remove the mop pad after use for cleaning, allow the unit to cool and push
the sides of the toggle head in, pulling it backwards to loosen. Lift the mop away
from the pad.
Attaching the carpet glider
To remove the glider after use, allow the unit to cool and place pressure on the
plastic at the back. Tilt the mop forwards and lift it upwards.
When using the mop on carpets you need to attach the carpet glider for a
smooth cleaning action.
1. To attach the carpet glider, put your foot
down on the plastic at the back.
2. Lift the mop over the glider and secure
the glider with your left hand.
3. Lower the front of the mop head under
the two plastic ribs and lower the back end
of the head.
4. Release your foot and the glider should
secure in place.

10
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Note: Before filling/re-filling the water tank, unplug the steam mop.
Do not touch any hot parts before allowing them to cool sufficiently.
1. Remove the tank by pressing in the tabs on either side and pulling outwards.
Note: It is recommended to use treated water in your steam mop, especially in
hard water areas. Water can be treated using water filters. Using untreated hard
water can reduce the performance and life span of your product. Never use
boiled water in your steam appliance. This is harmful as the boiled water that
has not turned to steam contains solely the hard water minerals that should be
avoided.
2. On the bottom of the tank is a small silicone plug. Lift the flap to expose an
entry to the tank.
3. Slowly fill the tank.
4. Close the plug securely and slot the tank back into the steam unit body until it
‘clicks’ into place.
Note: A full tank should provide approximately 15 minutes steam time. Ensure
the steam mop is plugged in and the light lit or steam will not be emitted.
