Using Your Light & Easy™ Steam Mop

and into the heater to create steam. Get  
it started by pumping the handle a few  
times. If you have waited a few minutes  
and you still do not see any steam,  
reference the troubleshooting section  
on page 10.

Trouble Shooting  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS  
Your steam-mop should be securely plugged into a  
120V AC electrical outlet only.  
The Light & Easy™

not turn-on.  
Check your fuse or breaker.  
If your unit still does not work, call 1-800-798-7398.  
Light & Easy™

white spot on  
the floor.  
Do you have hard water? If you do, you might want to  
switch to distilled water.  
Make sure the water is securely on the water tank.  
The pad might be dirty, change the pad.  
If you washed the pocket with powder detergent, then the  
pad may have residual detergent left on it. Wash it again  
with liquid detergent.  
If you are cleaning in a kitchen area where there might be a  
build-up of grease, use a de-greasing agent such as an all-  
purpose cleaner or dish soap and paper towels to clean the  
area first.  
Floors are cloudy,  
streaky or spotty  
after steaming.  
You might have left the mop in the same spot for too long.  
Do you have hard water? If you do, you might want to  
switch to distilled water.  
This might be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor  
surface. Use the steam mop a few more times and see if  
the leftover cloudiness is removed.  
Make sure the steam pad is attached correctly.  
Light & Easy™  
Steam Mop is  
hard to push.  
Check to see if the cleaning pad is excessively dirty.  
Replace if the pad is too dirty or wet.
