8. DO NOT operate the appliance with a
damaged plug or cord, or if the unit has
been dropped or damaged. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the appliance on your
own. If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified electrician in order
to avoid a hazard. Incorrect re-assembly or
repair can cause a risk of electrical shock

24. Never use steam mop without the cleaning
pad attached.

25. Keep your work area well lit.

26. Store steam mop indoors in a cool, dry
place.

27. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate
another appliance on the same socket
(circuit) as the steam cleaner.

28. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, an extension cord rated a
minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gage 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.

any period of time with a damp or wet
cleaning pad attached as this will damage
your floors

to cool before removing or changing mop
heads.

32. Make sure that the water tank door closed
when using the appliance.

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.
