What surfaces should I avoid using the steam mop on?
Avoid using on unsealed wooden floors, waxed floors, delicate surfaces, or areas where moisture can cause damage. Always check the flooring manufacturer's recommendations if unsure.

Troubleshooting
Steam mop not producing steam
Ensure the unit is plugged in and switched on. Check if the water tank is filled correctly and the unit has reached its operating temperature. Verify that the mop pad is not blocking the steam vents.
Weak steam output
The water tank may be low. Refill the tank. Ensure the mop pad is clean and not saturated, as this can impede steam flow. Check the steam nozzle for any potential blockages.
Water leaking from the unit
Ensure the water tank cap is properly sealed. Check that the unit is not tilted excessively. If leakage persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Unit takes too long to heat up
Ensure the power outlet is providing adequate voltage (230V). If the issue persists after multiple uses, there might be an internal component problem. Contact customer support.
