16. DO NOT add cleaning solutions,
scented perfumes, oils or any other
chemicals to the water used in this

unit or make it unsafe for use. If
you live in a hard water area, we
recommend using distilled water in
your steam mop.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance
with a damaged plug or cord,
or if the unit has been dropped,
damaged left outdoors or dropped

electric shock, do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the appliance
on your own. Return the appliance
to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see
warranty) for examination and
repair. Incorrect re-assembly or
repair can cause a risk of electrical
shock or injury to persons when
the appliance is used.
27. DO NOT leave unattended when
the system is connected to a power
supply or electrical outlet. Turn off
all controls before unplugging the
unit.
POLARIZED PLUG:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
28 DO NOT store unit with damp
or wet micro-fiber cleaning pad
attached. Never leave the steam
mop in one spot on any surface
for any period of time with a damp
or wet micro-fiber cleaning pad
attached as this will damage your
floors
17. When in use, NEVER turn the
appliance over or on its side.
NEVER DIRECT STEAM TOWARDS
PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
18. Carefully remove the micro-
fiber pad immediately after you
have unplugged and allowed the
product to cool.
8. To protect against a risk of electric
shock, DO NOT immerse the steam
mop into water or any other liquids.
WARNING: Your steam mop
is designed to clean hard floor
surfaces that will withstand high
heat. Do not use on unsealed wood
or unglazed ceramic floors. On
surfaces that have been treated
with wax or some no wax floors,
the sheen may be removed by
the heat and steam action. It is
always recommended to test an
isolated area of the surface to be
cleaned before proceeding. We also
recommend that you check the use
and care instructions from the floor
manufacturer.
19. When cleaning the steam mop,
unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and clean with a
dry or damp cloth. Do not pour
water or use alcohol, benzene or
paint thinner on the unit.
9. DO NOT handle plug or steam
mop with wet hands or operate
appliance without shoes.
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power
cord, use power cord as handle,
close a door on the power cord, or
pull the power cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep power cord
away from heated surfaces.
20 To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT
use a flammable or combustible
liquid to clean a floor.

times. If you have waited a few minutes
and you still do not see any steam,
reference the troubleshooting section
on page 11.
