Operations

Special Features

Easy Touch Digital Controls™
The fingertip power controls are located on the front of the LiftOFF Pod. Settings include:

(ON/OFF) Allows you to turn on or shut down the steam. Select the ON/OFF button before choosing the Hi or Lo steam setting.

High steam Use for durable floors or on sticky messes. To turn steam on, press once. Click again to turn steam off.

Low Steam Use on delicate floors or for light, everyday cleaning. To turn steam on, click once. Click again to turn steam off.

Microfiber Mop Pads
Reusable microfiber mop pads are machine washable and safe for virtually all hard floor surfaces. The white microfiber pad is best for everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed hardwoods and laminate. The gray and white striped pad can be used for scrubbing heavily soiled floors and cleaning tougher messes.

Removable Easy Scrubber
Quickly clean sticky messes by pressing the Easy Scrubber with your foot and locking it into position. Clean grout and crevices easily with this effective tool.

WARNING: Exercise extreme care when using your steam mop on hardwood floors. Prolonged application of steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber floors. Test steam mop in an inconspicuous area before mopping a large area. The steam mop generates hot steam, so move the unit continuously when depressing the trigger. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will wear down wood floor surface treatment, making it more susceptible to steam damage. Check with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior to steam mop operation.

Getting Ready

The mop pad may have already come attached to the foot of the unit. If not, follow step 1 below.

1. Attach mop pad by setting the foot of the unit in the mop pad, making sure the quick-grip release tab is located in the back.
2. Fill the water tank.
   a. On the side of the unit, open the Easy Fill opening of the water tank and use the included water cup to fill the water tank with water. Don’t overfill or water may spill from the tank. For best results, water should be at room temperature.
   b. Close the Easy Fill opening.
   c. The water tank holds 13 oz. and will
   last up to 23 minutes depending on the setting selected.
   NOTE: Do not use chemicals in the water tank of your Lift-Off Steam Mop.
3. Pull and twist the Quick Release™ cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord completely and plug into an outlet as described on the Important Safety Instructions on page 2.
   NOTE: Upon the first use of your steam mop or first use after refilling the water tank, the pump may make a ‘knocking’ sound. This is normal and will diminish after 30 seconds.
4. Add Scent Disc: Remove disc from plastic packaging. Control the amount of fragrance by either placing the entire disc in the pocket of the pad OR break the disc in half inside the packag-ing then remove and place half of disc in pad for less fragrance. Pull pad on steam mop and clean according to the manufacturer’s directions. Not intended for use on carpet.

WARNING: Tinted plates on foot may get hot while steam mop is in use. Do not touch while hot.
WARNING: Never put descaling, alcoholic, vinegar, or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.

Using Your Steam Mop

The hard floor cleaner can be used either on hard floors or above the floor using the specialized tools. For best results, vacuum the floor first to clear dust and small debris before using your steam mop.
Your hard floor cleaner is designed to clean hard flooring, such as ceramic tile, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished glossiness. The hard floor cleaner is not for use on unsealed wood floors. For best results, test in an inconspicuous area and check the care instructions from your flooring manufacturer.

1. Plug the unit in and wait 30 seconds for it to heat up. When the Steam Ready light illuminates, press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit ON then choose the level of steam to clean your floor: HI (for durable floors or sticky messes) or LO (for delicate floors or every day cleaning).
2. Once the level is selected the steam will start.
3. Begin cleaning by slowly moving the unit over the floor surface. Moisture on the floor is normal when cleaning.
4. When the hard floor cleaner stops emitting steam and you hear a “knocking” sound, turn the unit off and unplug. Then open the easy fill opening on the water tank and use the water cup to add water to the tank after lying the unit down per another side.

NOTE: To be sure to sanitize an area of your floor, use the microfiber cloth pads and slowly and evenly stroke your steam mop back and forth at least three times over the area using continuous steam. For best results, remove the pad and wash after use.

Using the Lift-Off Pod

1. Before releasing the steam pod, first hit the “On/Off” button to turn off steam and wait 10 seconds.
2. Release the pod by pressing the Lift-OFF button on top of the body and pulling the pod out.
3. If using a specialized tool to clean, first attach the tool connector (image to the right) then attach the appropriate tool by sliding on the tool to the the tool connector and locking into place by turning the tool.
4. The matrix below identifies each tool and what the tool can be used for:

Maintenance & Care

1. Unplug hard floor cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Carefully remove mop pad from the foot of the unit using the Quick Release™ Tab. The mop pad and tray may be hot.
3. The mop pad can be machine washed in warm water. Use only liquid detergents. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. For best results, air dry.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
