Before using for the first time
1. Carefully unpack the Steam Mop.
2. Remove all parts from the carton and familiarize yourself with all of
the components listed. Make sure all components and accessories are
present before discarding packing materials.
3. Following the instructions outlined in the Microfiber Cleaning Pads
Care & Cleaning section of this Instruction Manual (page 7), wash the
microfiber cleaning pads. During the manufacturing process the fabric
has a tendency to become flat as it picks up contaminants from the air
and machinery. Trim any loose pad threads with sharp scissors.
4. Attach the cleaning pad by fitting the mop head into the cleaning pad.
Tighten the cleaning pad by pressing the circular lock in one hand,
while pulling the black drawstring with the other. When a tight fit is
achieved, release the lock to secure in place.
1. The Steam Mop comes in 2 pieces: telescopic upper handle and
the lower body.
2. To assemble the Steam Mop for first time use, locate and line up the
locking metal pin on the bottom of the telescopic handle with the pin
set hole on the top of the lower body.
3. Depress the metal pin to insert the telescopic handle into the lower
body. Push firmly until the locking pin pops up through the hole and
locks into place.
NOTE: The fit will be tight.
