- Read all instructions before use.
- Use caution when handling this steam unit. Burns could occur from touching
hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use special care to avoid contact with hot
water when turning the product upside down to empty the reservoir.
- To reduce the risk of contact with hot water, test whether steam is ready before

appears, wait a few more minutes and test again. Do not look into the appliance,
use your hands or other objects to check for steam.
- Do not attempt to use steam function without filling Water Tank. Do not overfill
water tank.
- Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
- Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or

- Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Instead, grasp just the plug and pull
to disconnect.
- Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been
dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the appliance. All repairs must be performed by a qualified
service professional. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire,

- A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating
and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical
information on rating label agrees with your power supply.
- To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- If an extension cord is necessary, use a properly rated cord (15 ampere, 14
gauge). Use care to position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged
or tripped over during use.
- Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces during use. Loosely bundle cord
when storing.
- Always allow unit to cool (30 minutes for complete cooling) and empty Water
Tank before storing. Do not store unit with a damp microfiber pad still attached.
NOTE: This product may continue to produce steam for a few seconds after the
unit has been turned off.
- Use caution when using unit on uneven surfaces, such as stairs.
- When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you
consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for material being steamed. For items in
question, test on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.
- Steaming unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces is not
recommended and may result in warping or damage to the surface. Steam
may remove the sheen from surfaces treated with wax.
- When steam mopping, never leave unit resting in one spot on any surface for
any period of time – prolonged exposure to heat and moisture may damage
floor surfaces.
- When filling, only water should be used in unit – other cleaning agents could
damage unit or cause injury. Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly
recommended, in order to minimize potential build-up of mineral deposits.
