 WaRnIng:Never put descaling aromatic,

alcoholic, or detergent productsinto the steam cleaner, as thismay damage it or make it unsafefor use.

Tip :Te Steam&Sweep may be used asbt a steam mp and a sweeper atte same time.

cautIon: Exercise extreme care when usingthe Steam&Sweep on timber floor-ing. Ensure the Steam&Sweep is

thoroughly tested in an inconspicu-ous area prior to mopping a largefloor area. The Steam&Sweepgenerates hot steam, so whendepressing the trigger to apply steam, ensure the Steam&Sweepis moving continuously. The trigger does not need to be depressed at all times. Prolonged applicationof steam in one area increasesthe risk of damage to the surface

treatment on timber floors. Check  with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior toteam&Sweep operation. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will

 wear down timber floor surfacetreatment, making it more suscep-tible to steam damage. Exerciseextreme care when using theSteam&Sweep on timber flooring.
