THE STEAMTEK3 IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Commercial/industrial use of this unit will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
The SteamTek3 Mop is designed to clean carpets, vinyl, ceramic, stone, linoleum, sealed
hardwood and parquet floor surfaces. The steam reaches temperatures of between 90 – 100ºC
(194 – 212ºF). Exercise caution when using on vinyl, linoleum or any other heat sensitive floors
as too much heat can melt the glue in the flooring. DO NOT use on unsealed wood floors or let
unit stand on any wood floor for an extended period as this could cause the wood grain to swell.
DO NOT use on any floor surfaces that have been treated as the steam and heat could remove
the finish. DO NOT use the carpet glider (14) on floor surfaces other than carpeting as it could
possibly streak, scratch or otherwise damage the floor surface. DO NOT operate on any surface
for an extended time as this could cause water marks, discolouration or otherwise damage the
surface.
Prior to using, we recommend that you test a floor surface area on an isolated floor area. If
uncertain, contact the floor manufacturer for specific floor care instructions and suitability for
steam cleaning.
The SteamTek3 Mop works with water only. If you live in an area with hard water, we
recommend that you use distilled water for optimal performance.

IMPORTANT!
MAKE SURE THAT THE COPPER BALL INSIDE THE WATER TANK IS ALWAYS SUBMERGED

OPERATION:
1. Plug unit into a correctly grounded electrical outlet.
The Red Power Indicator Light (18) will light up indicating that the unit is connected.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the Ready To Use Indicator Light (20) to turn GREEN
indicating that the mop is ready for use.
NOTE: DO NOT press the ON/OFF Trigger (16) until the Indicator Light (20) is green in
case any residual water from previous use has remained in the unit. This water will
not be heated and will be forced out which could cause water pooling and puddling.
3. Press and hold the Mop Trigger (16) to release steam. Steam will be emitted as long as the
trigger is pressed. (Illust. 22) To stop emitting steam, release
the trigger. (Illust. 23)
4. Slowly pass the mop over the area you wish to clean.
NOTE: For best results, sweep or vacuum floor prior to using
the SteamTek3 Mop. To avoid water pooling/puddling, the
mirofiber pad (1) must be clean and dry before use.
CAUTION: To sanitize an area, leave the mop over the area for
aminimum of 8 seconds and a maximum of 15 seconds.
DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position for longer than
15 seconds as this could cause a build-up of pale residue. If
this happens, the residue can be removed by using a
decalcifying product or with a few drops of vinegar.
NOTE: Use a cloth to wipe off residue build-up. Do not use
the mop.
5. Your SteamTek3 Mop will emit steam for approx. 20 minutes.
When it stops emitting steam, unplug the unit, remove the
water tank (or fill with cup), refill, replace tank, plug unit in, and
resume cleaning.
CAUTION: NEVER USE THE STEAMTEK 3 MOP WITHOUT
WATER!
6. When finished cleaning, unplug unit from outlet (by holding the
plug and not by the power cord), empty the water tank, REMOVE THE PAD FROM THE MOP
HEAD CAREFULLY AS THE PAD MAY STILL BE VERY HOT, wind the power cord around the
Cord Holder (15) and store it upright in a cool, dry area or by the Carrying Handle/Hook (17).
IMPORTANT!
• DO NOT STEAM ONE AREA FOR OVER 15 SECONDS AS THIS COULD RESULT IN FLOOR
SURFACE DAMAGE.
• During initial use, it may take several seconds for the SteamTek3 Mop to emit steam as the
water needs to flow through the filter to reach the heater. This will only occur the first time
you use your unit.
• When unit is filled with water the first time, you may hear a grinding sound indicating that
the pump is warming up. This will stop when the Green Indicator Light (20) lights up
indicating that the unit is ready for use.

• The Green Indicator Light (20) will go on and off during use. This is a normal function which
happens as the heater heats up or has reached its optimal temperature. This will not affect
cleaning performance and you can continue cleaning as usual.
• A little water may “spit” when mixed with steam. This is normal.
• Prior to using, we recommend that you test a floor surface area on an isolated floor area. If
uncertain, contact the floor manufacturer for specific floor care instructions and suitability
for steam cleaning.
