Using Your
3-in-1 Steam Mop
FILLING WATER TANK
NOTE: Do not remove or cut small rubber air valve on top of Water Tank Cap (FIGURE 8-A).
Do not turn unit upside-down when Water Tank is full - a small amount of water may leak out.
1. Make sure Steam Control Dial is set to "OFF" position.
2. Rotate Water Tank Cap one quarter turn in "unlock" direction (counter-clockwise) indicated by
illustration on Cap, and remove.
3. Carefully fill Measuring Cup with maximum amount of water (5 oz. / 150 ml.) and pour into
Water Tank through Fill Hole. Repeat up to two more times to fill Water Tank to maximum
capacity (15 oz. / 450 ml.).
NOTE: In order to significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your
3-in-1 Steam Mop, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly
recommended. Refer to Page 15 for more information about mineral build-up.
4. Replace Water Tank Cap so that thread grooves on bottom of Cap (FIGURE 8-B) align with
tabs inside Fill Hole (FIGURE 8-C). Press Water Tank Cap down so that it sits flush with top of
Fill Hole (FIGURE 8-D). Rotate one quarter turn in clockwise direction (as indicated by "lock"
illustration on Cap) to lock it in place.
NOTE: The tube that transfers water from the Water Tank to the boiler is weighted down
with a brass ball. This is an intentional design to improve efficiency of water usage. It
is normal for this ball to create a rattling sound inside of Water Tank during use.
If you think brass ball has come loose from tube, refer to troubleshooting guide on
Page 16 for directions to reconnect it.

GENERAL OPERATION

NOTE: Be sure that Water Tank has been filled and all
desired accessories are connected before following
these steps.
1. For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is
shipped on electrical plug. Plug power cord into a
convenient electrical outlet.
2. Turn Steam Control Dial clockwise from "OFF" position to
desired steam setting (FIGURE 9). Power Indicator Light
will immediately illuminate to indicate that unit is powered
on and heating.
NOTE: Steam settings are broken down by intensity
("LOW" & "HIGH") as well as function ("MOP/FABRIC"
& "HANDHELD CLEANER"). Refer to Page 13 for more
information about selecting steam settings.
3. After approximately 30 seconds, you will hear a buzzing
sound as unit begins to emit steam.
4. Direct Steam Nozzle (with any connected accessories)
towards surface you wish to steam. Refer to Steam
Mopping section below, as well as Fabric Steaming and
Steam Cleaning sections on Page 12, for further details.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle and any
accessories are pointed in a safe direction (away from
yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.
STEAM MOPPING
AIR VALVE
NOTE: It is recommended to sweep or vacuum floors before mopping.
•
Make sure Extension Pole, Mop Head and a Microfiber Pad are all properly connected. Refer to Pages
6 & 7 for details.
INCORRECT
•
Follow General operating instructions above to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within
"MOP/FABRIC" range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
NOTE: Only "LOW" setting is recommended for hardwood floors.
•
Mop using a steady back-and-forth motion over the floor, working your way backwards in order to avoid
walking over the freshly mopped area.
NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, do not use on unsealed hardwood
or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Steam may remove the sheen from some floors that have been
treated with wax.
CORRECT
•
To effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, repeatedly mop a single small area (approximately 3' x 3' for
best results) for at least 2 minutes.
•
The Microfiber Pad will absorb moisture during mopping. However, depending on floor surface and steam
intensity setting, some residual moisture may be left behind. In this case, it is recommended to allow floor
time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards mopped area to facilitate drying.
•
Due to large size of the Mop Head, it may have difficulty completely cleaning certain types of floors (such as
ceramic tile) that include crevices of grouting. To more thoroughly clean floor grout, it is recommended to
use 3-in-1 Steam Mop in steam cleaning mode. Refer to Steam Cleaning section on Page 12 for details.
