cleaner.

29. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an
extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere,

2.08mm

2

(14 AWG) cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

30. DO NOT leave unattended when the system is

connected to a power supply or electrical outlet. Turn
off all controls before unplugging the unit.

31. DO NOT store unit with damp or wet cleaning

pocket attached. Never leave the steam mop in one

33. Make sure that the water tank door is closed when

WARNING: Your steam mop

is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will
withstand high heat. Do not 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
also recommend that you check the use and care
instructions from the floor manufacturer.
