Replacing the water filter
If you fill your Steam Mop cleaner with normal tap water, it is essential to check the water filter and replace it when it is no longer effective. Change the water filter when the bright green grains turn blue. If the water filter is not changed at the appropriate time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the heating element, causing damage or reduced perfor- mance.
Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the performance of your water filter.
To order a replacement water filter refer to the replacement parts section on page 10.
CAUTION:
Upright storage of the Steam Mop with a wet mop pad may result in the formation of white marks on your floor. To remove the white marks, clean area with vinegar.
