Congratulations on your choice of the H2O X2™ Floor & Carpet Steam Cleaner featuring Up-to-Pause technology.
The H2O X2™ Floor & Carpet Steam Cleaner is a new way of cleaning that is effective and far more hygienic than conventional
methods. The H2O X2™ Floor & Carpet Steam Cleaner increases cleaning power and helps sanitize by converting water to steam
and using a microfiber cloth to enhance absorbency. Dirt and grime can be eliminated in a matter of seconds. Cleaning with the
H2O X2™ Floor & Carpet Steam Cleaner is environmentally friendly, as it uses the active power of steam without the use of
detergents. The Up-to-Pause feature allows you to effortlessly control steam. Simply stand the unit upright to pause the steam, and
release to start back up!
Thane Direct and its affiliated companies assume no liability for personal injury or property damage resulting from the misuse of
the H2O X2™ Floor & Carpet Steam Cleaner, including the failure to comply with the instructions contained in this User’s Guide or
provided by the manufacturer or distributor of the treated surface.

NOTES:
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR H2O X2™ APPLIANCE
The H2O X2™ appliance is designed to thoroughly clean floor surfaces, such as marble, ceramic, carpet, stone, linoleum, sealed hardwood floors and
parquet.
Test the H2O X2™ appliance on a small isolated area of your flooring prior to overall use on floor surfaces. The heat and steam action may remove the
wax on surfaces treated with wax. Do not let unit stand on any wood or heat-sensitive floors for an extended period of time. Water marks, discoloration or
damage to the floor surface can occur if the unit is left operating too long in one place. When using on vinyl, linoleum or any other heat-sensitive floors,
use extra caution. Too much heat can melt glue in the flooring. Use only on laminated flooring that has been laid professionally and without any gaps or
cracks that would permit the entry of moisture. Not all floor types are suitable for steam cleaning. Always check the use and care instructions of your flooring
manufacturer or distributor before using the H2O X2™ appliance. When in doubt, consult a flooring specialist.
For Best Results:
-Sweep or vacuum floor prior to using the H2O X2™ appliance.
- To avoid accumulation of excess water, the Microfiber Cloth must
be clean and dry before use.
-Never steam in one spot for too long.
- Do not put hands or feet or any other parts of your body under the steam mop.
- It is normal to hear a pulsing noise during use, indicating that the mop is producing steam.
- There may be some minor “spitting” of water mixed with the steam.
- Never leave the H2O X2™ appliance on a heat sensitive floor after use, wait until the unit has cooled down and is unplugged.

Cleaning procedure to remove lime scale
If your H2O X2™ appliance begins to produce steam slower than usual, or stops producing steam, you may need to remove lime scale. It is necessary
to remove lime scale on a regular basis, every 25 times you use a full tank of water or once a month, especially in areas with hard water.
To remove lime scale from the H2O X2™ appliance, please follow these procedures:
Using the Cleaning Pin
Swirl and push the pin up and down the small hole of the Steam Outlet in the Main Body. Ensure that all scale debris has been removed from the
Steam Outlet before reassembling.
Using a cleaning solution
1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and add to the Water Tank.
2. Ensure that steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical outlet, turn it
ON and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is used up.
3. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow is achieved.
4. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out.
5. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water again, and release steam through the system until the Water Tank is empty.
6. Perform a test cleaning on a suitable isolated area after each lime scale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the system.
