WARNING
To reduce risk of burns, electrocution, re, or injury to persons:
1. Use 3-in-1 Steam Mop only for its intended purpose as indicated in this manual.

to position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged or tripped over during use.
3. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on rating
label agrees with your power supply.
4. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit as this unit.
5. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse unit in water or other liquids. Do not
use power cord as handle, let it hang over edges of counters, or be crimped or closed in doors.

serviced by qualied service personnel.
13. When lling Water Tank, only water should be used in unit – other cleaning agents could dam-
age unit or cause injury. Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended, in order to
minimize potential build-up of mineral deposits. Do not overll unit.
