the instruction manual provided.

Indicator lights
1. What do the indicator
lights mean?
1. The light on the left illuminates blue when the mop is
plugged in and power button is pressed. When the blue
light has been on and the water has heated sufficiently,
after around 40 seconds, the light on the right should
illuminate green, indicating it is steam ready.
The mop is leaving the
floor streaky
1. The detergent has not
been diluted.
1. The detergent tank needs to have 5 parts water to 1
part detergent in. The recommended amount is 30ml
Abode detergent with 150ml water.
The steam mop is
leaking
1. The water/detergent
tanks have not been
tipped over a sink/have
been overfilled.
1. When filling the tanks, screw the lids on securely and tip
the tanks upside over the sink to enable water from the lid
to drain. Avoid overfilling the tanks.
2. The steam mop has
been held over one area
for too long.
2. Do not leave the steam mop concentrated over one
area for more than a couple of seconds. This could
damage your floor and may cause small puddles of water
to leak.
3. The water has not
heated sufficiently.
3. You need to let the water heat up in the tanks for at
least 60 seconds before pulling the steam trigger. Make
sure the power is switched on.
Using detergent
1. What can I use
detergent on?
1. You can only use detergent on sealed hard floors. Do
not use on carpets, this can cause damage. If you are
unsure, contact the manufacturer.
2. How do I use the
detergent?
2. Fill the tank and set the dial on the front of the mop to
“open” to start using the detergent on sealed hard floors.
