Operating the unit

The unit has two steam functions that you can choose from. The steam mop generates hot steam for easy removal of dirt from hard floors, but may also be used as an electrobrush for sweeping hard floors or carpets.

Assembling the tube with the holder

- Remove all the parts from the package.

1 Put the end of the tube into the steam mop base and push the tube base together until it locks into place.
2 Wind the excess cord around the cord wraps.

Sweep function

1 Connect the unit to an appropriate outlet.
2 Press the button to turn on the electrobrush.

The electrobrush may be used on hard level floors both with or without the cleaning pad.

On short pile carpets, the electrobrush should be used without the cleaning pad.

3 After use turn off the electrobrush by pressing the button.
4 To empty the waste container, lift it by the holder located in the upper lid.
5 Push the release button located on the back of the container to remove the waste.
6 Close the emptied waste container and refit it until it clicks into place.

Before using the sweep function make sure that the waste container is fitted in the unit.

Do not lift the electrobrush from the floor when in operation.

Steam function

To use the steam function, follow the instructions below.

1 Match and attach the micro-fibre cloth to the cleaning pad.

Make sure that the velcros on the cleaning pad and on the cloth fit well.

2 To fit the cleaning pad onto the unit, gently lower the cleaning head onto the cleaning pad, so that head wheels click into the notch in the cleaning pad. To detach the cleaning pad, hold the pad release tab with your foot and lift the cleaning head.

Never use the mop with the steam function without the micro-fibre cloth attached.

3 Remove the water tank by releasing the hook of the water tank and pulling the tank towards you.
4 Turn the water tank upside down and unscrew the cap. Fill the tank with water, replace the cap (make sure that it is screwed all the way in) and refit the tank.

Do not use the steam mop with the steam function with no water in the tank.

• Plug in the unit to an appropriate outlet.
  5 Slide the calor switch to the on position.
  6 The unit will start heating water. The calor indicator light will illuminate.

When the vapor indicator light illuminates the unit is ready for operation with the steam function.

7 To start operation, press and hold the trigger.

The mop will stop steaming when you release the trigger.

If the unit runs out of water during operation, slide the calor switch to the off position and refill the water tank (see sections 4 and 5).

When the micro-fibre cloth becomes very wet or dirty, replace it with a clean and dry one.

The micro-fibre cloth becomes very hot when using the steam mop. Use caution when replacing.

In order to thoroughly sanitize an area of your floor, wait 60 seconds for the unit to heat up, then mop the selected area with a short forward and backward motion about 15 seconds.

8 After use, slide the calor switch to the off position and wait until no steam is emitted from the cleaning head.
9 Empty the water tank and unplug the unit from the outlet.

After use / Cleaning and maintenance

After use

• When finished steam cleaning, make sure that the calor switch is in the off position, then unplug the unit from the outlet.
• Pour out water from the water tank.
• The micro-fibre cloths are machine washable (at max. 60°C).

If the cloths are very dirty, before washing soak them in warm water with some detergent or stain remover.

• Thoroughly dry the cloths before storage.

Replacing the water softening filter

The water softening filter helps to remove minerals from water which may impact the performance of your steam mop. How often the filter should be replaced depends on how hard your water is and how often you use the unit. We suggest that you replace the water softening filter every 6 months or so.

The degree of filter contamination may impact the performance of your steam mop.

Before replacing the filter, unplug the unit from the outlet.

1 Remove the water tank (see the "Steam function" section 3).
2 Pull the filter up and remove it from the unit.
3 Replace the used filter with a new one. Press the new filter so that it touches the unit base closely.
4 Refit the water tank.

Cleaning the electrobrush

Over time pieces of threads, strings, hair, fabrics, etc accumulate on the roller of the electrobrush. They impact the sweeping performance and therefore the roller should be periodically cleaned (at least once monthly).

Before cleaning the electrobrush, unplug the unit from the outlet.

The roller of the electrobrush may be removed for thorough cleaning.

1 Turn the roller lock located at the bottom of the cleaning head to the position.
2 Remove the roller lock and the roller from the unit.
3 Using scissors or a sharp knife, carefully clean the roller of the electrobrush. Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut hair or threads rolled around the roller.

Be careful no to damage the bristle and the roller of the electrobrush.

4 When cleaned, refit the roller.
5 Refit the roller lock and turn it to the position. The roller is now locked.

Disassembling the holder and storing the unit

The holder is detachable for easy storage of the unit in low cabinets.

1 Twist the upper cord wrap downwards.
2 Unwind the cord from the wraps.
3 Press the tube lock and slide out the tube with the holder upwards.
