PROBLEM

POSSIBLE PROBLEM

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The mop is not
working/steaming

1. The power button has 
not been pressed.

1. Press the power button on the centre of the steam 
mop. This should illuminate the power indicator light. 
Ensure you have waited 40 seconds for the water to heat 
up – this should allow the second indicator light to 
illuminate green

2. Water tank may not be 
filled.

2. Make sure the water tank is filled. Refer to page 8 of 
the instruction manual provided.

3. The unit may not be 
plugged in properly/the 
fuse or breaker may not 
be working.

3. Verify the unit is plugged into an approved electrical 
outlet, is switched on and that the fuse or breaker is 
functioning properly. 

4. The steam trigger has 
not been pulled.

4. You will need to pull the steam trigger under the handle 
for steam to begin emitting. 

5. The filter had become 
blocked.

5.  If the filter has become blocked you will need a 
replacement filter. 

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.
