WARNING

• Exercise extreme care when using the PowerFresh Pet 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. The trigger does not need to be depressed at all times. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment, making it more susceptible to steam  damage. Check with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior to steam mop operation. 
• Do not plug in your hard floor cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Operations

Special Features

• Removable water tank
  The water tank is located on the top of the steam mop. It can be refilled with water any time during use. Distilled or demineralized water is recommended in place of tap water. Do not use chemicals in the water tank of your PowerFresh® Pet Steam Mop.
• SmartSet™ Steam Control 
  (Low, Medium, High) SmartSet™ Steam Control indicator light will stop blinking when PowerFresh® Pet Steam Mop is ready to use. Then press the Steam Level button to choose the level of steam you desire.
• Microfiber Mop Pads
  Reusable microfiber mop pads are machine washable and safe for virtually all hard floor surfaces. Your steam mop may have come with two different pads. 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.
• Triangle Mop Pad Foot
  Some units may come with an additional triangle foot. To use, attach the lower body to the mop head by snapping it into place. Use to clean in corners and other hard-to-reach areas.

WARNING
Do not attempt to use your PowerFresh® Pet Steam Mop without water in the tank. You may hear a knocking sound indicating there is no water.

Before you clean
Thoroughly sweep or vacuum floor prior to cleaning with the PowerFresh Pet Steam Mop.
Cleaning hard floors
Your steam mop is designed to clean hard  flooring such as ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your steam mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished glossiness. The steam mop 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. Choose the level of steam to clean your floor: Low (delicate floors), Medium (regular cleaning), High (durable floors or sticky messes). Begin cleaning by slowly passing the unit over the floor surface.
2. To thoroughly clean dried-on sticky spots place the scrubby pad on the steam mop. Then press and lock the Easy Scrubber brush into place and slowly move the brush over the sticky spot to remove it.
3. To turn off the steam mop, continue to press the Steam Level button until the blue light is illuminated above the Steam Level button.
4. When the steam mop stops emitting steam, unplug the unit. Simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue steaming.

Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models) 
This accessory is recommended for the  refreshing of carpets. Once the steam mop is cradled in the carpet refresher attachment,  it will easily glide over the carpet. 
NOTE: Always be sure a mop pad is in place before placing in carpet refresher attachment. Only white mop pads should be used with  
the carpet attachment. Do not use carpet attachment on spots or stains, or glide it over the same spot for no longer than 20 seconds.

1. Place the swivel mop head, with mop pad attached, in the carpet refresher attachment.
   NOTE: The PowerFresh® Pet Steam Mop rests  in the carpet refresher attachment (select models) and may not stay attached to the swivel mop head. It is meant to glide over the carpet.
2. Fill the water tank with water. Begin refreshing your carpet or rug by pushing the steam mop in a forward and backward motion, releasing steam as you go.
3. When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet or rug.

NOTE: Move the steam mop and carpet refresher attachment in a continuous motion until you  are finished. This product is not intended to be  used as a carpet cleaner, only a carpet refresher or deodorizer. Never attempt to use the steam mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment in place. DO NOT leave the mop in  a stationary position
