CARE OF YOUR CLEANING PADS
1 We recommend washing your cleaning pads
separately from other fabrics to avoid picking up
lint. For optimal cleaning performance, the pads
may need to be washed up to (3) three times. Only
use liquid detergent (no powder detergent). Do not
use any fabric softeners or bleach. Line dry. Do not
tumble dry. (fig. 16)
2 If there are loose threads on the cleaning pads,
carefully cut the thread with scissors. Do not pull on
them or cut at the base. (fig. 17)
IMPORTANT: The cleaning pads may be very hot
from the steam. Use caution when removing. Let the
unit cool for 2-3 minutes.

DECALCIFYING YOUR STEAM MOP
Calcium and mineral deposits can build up and
impact the performance of your steam mop
over time. To extend the life of your product we
recommend that you use distilled water.

CLEANING THE NOZZLE
NOTE: To prevent clogging, it is recommended that
you periodically clean the Direct Steam Nozzle and
the extension hose stem.
1
Your Handheld Steamer should not normally require
cleaning, however, should you notice a decrease in
the steam output, it may be necessary to remove
mineral deposits built up around the nozzles.
2
Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet.
3 Use a small diameter stiff metal wire, such as a
straightened metal paperclip, and carefully insert the
end of the wire into the nozzle orifice. See illustration
above. (fig. 18)
4 Move the wire back and forth several times to remove
any deposits.
5
Plug in the appliance to the power outlet and test
steam output.

is bringing to the surface. We suggest rinsing the floor with nothing but water,
letting it dry, and then steam mopping again with a clean pad. One or more
