2. When the mop pads have

cooled completely, remove them by pulling them off the discs.

3. Wash the mop pads with mild

detergent at max temperature 104°F (40°C). IMPORTANT! Do not use bleach or fabric softener to wash the microber pad. They may damage the soft mop pads or leave a coating that will reduce their cleaning performance and absorbency. Dirt mop pads should be line-dried or tumble- dried on a low setting, as this will extend the life of the microber fabric. Loose bers can indicate wearing of the microber fabric. DO NOT pull the loose bers, as this can cause the weave to come undone. Simply trim the loose bers with scissors. NOTE: The mop pads shall be maintained regularly. Mop pads should be washed after every use.- 14 - WARNING

• Wash the mop pads separately from other fabrics to avoid picking up lint.

• We recommend only using liquid detergent, as powder detergents can leave behind a residue on the microber.

• In order to prolong the life of the mop pads, we recommend that you air dry them.

• Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

• Empty any remaining water from the water tank and wipe the exterior with a dry cloth.

• Remove and wash the mop pads for future use. Leave out to air dry. STORAGE

• Store the product in a protected, dry place. Retain the measuring cup for future use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

REMOVING & CLEANING MOP PADS

For best cleaning results, we recommend replacing the mop pads every 3 to 4 months following normal use. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease, friction, and repeated washing can cause the bers to break down, and you may notice an increase in the effort needed to push or pull the mop.
