Assembly
Place the central piece (7) onto the cleaning foot (8).
Screw the two parts together on the back using the screw which is also supplied.
Use
This device sweeps up dust and loose dirt into the collecting container and then cleans the floor with hot steam immediately after this. However, you can also activate the sweep function and steam function individually. We recommend that you first sweep a very dirty floor with the device and then clean it with steam in a second step. The water tank can be filled with tap water. However, in areas which have hard water, we recommend that you use distilled water in order to prevent calcification.
Insert the water tank (10) into the central piece and press it down until it engages audibly.
Slide handle assembly down into central piece (7) until it will go no further.
Screw the handle assembly and the central piece together by using the supplied long
Screw.
Turn the upper hook of the cable reel (4) so that it points upwards and wrap the
Mains cable (9) around the two hooks of the cable reel.

Preparing the device/filling water tank
If not pre-fitted, attach one of the floor cloths supplied (15) to the bottom of the cleaning foot using the Velcro fasteners.
If the water tank (10) is inserted in the device, remove the water tank by pulling it in a vertical direction, up and away from the appliance, as show in the illustrations.
PLEASE NOTE!
Only use the carpet glider on carpets and not on hard floors in order to prevent damage to the floor!
PLEASE NOTE!
• Never pour any cleaning agent or other additives into the water tank. These may damage the device.
• Before using the device, always check the floor cloth for signs of wear. Do not use it if it shows any signs of wear or if it is damaged! It could damage your flooring!
Unscrew the closure of the water tank, fill the water tank preferably with distilled water at room temperature and then close it again. Firmly turn the closure shut.
Place the water tank into the central piece (7) and press it down until it engages audibly.
.
To quickly unwind the cable (9), turn the upper hook of the cable reel (4) so that it points downwards. Then press the mains cable into the cable mount (2) so that you are better able to handle the device while cleaning the floor and do not trip over the cable
.
Now insert the plug into a suitable, easily accessible wall plug socket. The red control lamp
(12) lights up immediately.
To clean carpets, attach the carpet glider (16) with the flat side towards the floor and place the cleaning foot into the carpet glider.

Cleaning the floor
CAUTION:
• Keep children and animals away from the device during use.
• Make sure during use that dirt particles do not accumulate beneath the cleaning foot as they could damage sensitive surfaces.
• Never operate the device with the steam function if the water tank is empty.
• During cleaning, make sure the floor cloth is firmly attached to the cleaning foot to prevent damage to the device or flooring.
• Always first test cleaning with steam on a small spot to ensure surface damage or discolouration does not occur.
NOTE: Water residues in the filter or tank are due to this device having been tested.
When you first use the device or if you have not used it for a lengthy period of time, you must hold the steam release button down for approx. 30 seconds after connecting it to the mains to get the device ready for operation. During this time, you will hear a pumping noise because the corresponding parts of the device need to fill up with water.
1. To ensure that the device can be put down easily, the joint in the cleaning foot (14) latches in when the central piece is in the vertical position. To use the device, grab hold of the top handle and tilt the handle to a position which is comfortable for you, and if necessary place your foot on the cleaning foot as you do so.
2. Using your foot, press the On/Off switch (13) on the cleaning foot to switch on the device.
3. Slide the cleaning foot forwards over the surface which is to be cleaned. The loose dirt is taken up by the rotating brush and collected in the collecting container (15) of the device.
4. Press the steam release button (1) to expel steam and clean the floor more thoroughly.
5. If there are any more stubborn areas of dirt or you want to kill germs (e.g. in the vicinity of toilets), hold the cleaning foot on one spot for a number of seconds (but not longer than 10 seconds!) .
6. If you want to replace or wash the floor cloth, let go of the steam release button, switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket. Wait for 5 minutes so that the device can cool down. Now you can change the floor cloth.
7. If steam stops being produced, the water tank is empty. Let go of the steam release button, switch off the device and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket. Refill the tank in the manner described in the "Preparing the device/filling water tank" section.
8. Once the cleaning procedure is complete and the device has completely cooled down, please empty the water tank (see below).
• Never clean the same spot for longer than 10 seconds.
• Never direct the steam at people, animals, or items containing electrical components
(e.g. inside ovens, fridges, at switches and lights, microwave ovens etc.).
• Never touch the bottom of the device during operation!
• While the device is in operation, the cleaning foot must not be held at a slanted angle or be inverted as hot spray water may emerge!
• After use the floor cloth may still be very hot. If you wish to remove it, wait about 5 minutes for it to cool down.
Replacement floor cloths and filters are available to purchase from us (while stocks last). Please look on our website www.coopersofstortford.co.uk or telephone customer services on 0844 482 4400.

3. Carefully pull the collecting container out of the cleaning foot and empty the waste into a rubbish bin clean and dry and then place the container back into the device.
4. Remove the floor cloth from the cleaning foot and wash it. You can wash the floor cloths in the washing machine. Do not use conditioner. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.
5. Over the course of time, hairs, threads and other particles accumulate on the rotatable cleaning brush. We recommend that from time to time you remove any contamination from the brush. Cut away threads etc. that are wound round.
6. As required, wipe down the housing of the device with a soft, dry cloth.
7. Turn the upper hook of the cable reel so that it points upwards and wrap the mains cable around the two hooks of the cable reel.

Troubleshooting
NOTE: If you use normal tap water in the Steam Mop & Sweeper and you have hard water, it may be necessary to replace the filter when it is no longer effective. Mineral deposits can build up in the heating element causing damage and/or diminished performance. To remove the filter, first remove the water tank then pull the filter up and out of the steamer body. Replace with a new filter. Using distilled water will extend the life of the unit.
Problem
The device does not work. The red control lamp does not light up.
The brush rotates but no steam comes out.
Water emerges instead of steam
Only a very small amount of steam emerges.
Problem Possible cause/solution
• Is the plug inserted in the mains socket correctly?
• Is the mains socket defective? Try another mains socket.
• Check the fuse of your mains connection.
• Have you pressed the steam release button correctly?
• The device is not yet ready to operate. Hold the steam release button down for approx. 30 seconds until you no longer hear any pumping noises, and the device begins to emit steam.
• The water tank is empty. Fill it up (see "Preparing the device/filling water tank" section).
• The water is forming condensation in the tube. Press the steam release button until steam emerges. If necessary, place a cloth beneath the attachment as water can emerge. If water should unexpectedly continue to emerge instead of steam, let go of the steam release button, pull the plug out of the plug socket, let the device cool down for approx. 5 minutes and then try again.
• The nozzle is blocked. Unscrew the central piece from the cleaning foot and carefully rinse the tube of the cleaning foot with a descaler solution.
