uDuring steam mop use you can use the cable manage- ment clip (17) to keep your cable out of the way of the work area..

uAlways vacuum or sweep the floor before using the steam mop.

uThe easiest way to use the machine is to tilt the handle to a 45˚ angle and clean slowly, covering a small area at a time.

uDo not use chemical cleaners with your steam mop. To remove stubborn stains from vinyl or linoleum floors, you can use the steam burst button to apply extra steam to the area or pre-treat with a mild detergent and some water before using the steam mop.
