IMPORTANT: First things first, always 
make sure the mop is 
UNPLUGGED
from the wall when not in use. Never

change or remove the micro-fiber 
pocket when the mop is plugged into

IMPORTANT: Don’t use on unsealed
wood or unglazed ceramic floors. 
On surfaces that have been treated 
with wax or some no wax floors, 
the sheen may be removed by 
the heat and steam action. It is 
always recommended to test an 
isolated area of the surface to be 
cleaned before proceeding. We 
recommend that you check the use 
and care instructions from the floor 
manufacturer.

on your floors. The Triangle Mop 
Head was specifically designed to

spaces, especially those found in 
the bathroom. The XL Mop Head 
was designed to make quick work of 
large open spaces. The Rectangle 
Mop Head is completely versatile.

Using Your Steam Mop
IMPORTANT: Make sure you don’t 
use the mop without attaching 
a micro-fiber pocket and adding 
water to the tank first. When you are 
using the mop for the first time, it 
might take longer than the normal 
30 seconds to start steaming. Just 
pump the handle a few times in a 
downward motion to prime the 
pump and it should be ready.

Pump the handle a few times in a
downward motion. This pumping 
action will release steam as you 
mop and allows you to customize 
the amount of steam you want. 
Begin mopping with a forward 
and backward motion. The natural 
motion of mopping will produce 
steam.
NOTE: Make sure the floors are
swept or vacuumed before using the 
steam mop.
