Cleaning Hard Floors

Problem Possible Causes Remedies
Reduced steam OR no steam Water tank empty. Refill tank.
Steam level not selected. Select steam level by pushing steam level button.

 
Wand not installed properly Push the wand all the way into the handheld pod until you hear a “click”.
Foot not installed properly. Insert the extension wand into foot until you hear a “click”.

Streaking Dirty mop pad. Remove and wash mop pad per instructions before further use.

Leaking Mop pad is too wet. Remove and replace with dry mop pad and intermittently press the steam trigger for less  steam.
Steam level is too high. Lower the steam level.
Crack in machine or water tank. Check to see if there are any cracks on the machine or tank and check to make sure the rubber gasket on the tank is still attached and seated properly in the machine.
Knocking noise First use or water tank is empty. Fill tank and knocking will diminish after a few seconds.
Metal tube cannot reach water. Shake the pod to let the tube reach the water level.

WARNINGExercise extreme care when using the steam mop on timber flooring. Ensure the steam mop is thoroughly tested in an inconspicuous area prior to mopping a large floor area. The steam mop generates hot steam, so when depressing the trigger to apply steam, ensure the steam mop is moving continuously. The trigger does not need to be pressed at all times. Prolonged  application of steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber floors. Check with your timber floor treatment application specialist prior to steam mop operation. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment making it more susceptible to extreme care when using the steam mop on timber flooring.
