Assembly & Charging

The VACMOP comes mostly assembled. Simply attach the handle if required (some models).

2. If the handle is separate, insert it into the main body until it clicks into place.
3. Place the unit onto the charging dock. The battery indicator will light up to show charging status.
4. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours and provides up to 30 minutes of runtime.

Using Your VACMOP

Supports cleaning of sealed hard floors like tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed hardwood.

1. Press the POWER button to turn on. Select mode with the MODE button.
2. For hard floors, use the Hard Floor setting. For low-pile area rugs, use the Area Rug setting (vacuum only, no solution).
3. Push the unit forward and pull back in slow, overlapping strokes. The brush roll will scrub and the vacuum will suction debris.
4. The solution is dispensed automatically. The dirty water is suctioned back into the separate Dirty Water Tank.
5. When finished, press the POWER button to turn off. Return to the charging dock.

WARNING! Do not use on unsealed wood, waxed floors, or high-pile carpets. Do not leave solution on floors for extended periods.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

• After each use: Remove, rinse, and wash the microfiber pad. Empty the Dirt Cup and Dirty Water Tank.
• Weekly: Remove the brush roll and clear any hair or debris wrapped around it. Rinse the Clean Water Tank.
• Monthly: Clean the filter (if applicable) according to the manual. Wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth.

CAUTION! Unplug the charging dock and ensure the VACMOP is off before performing any maintenance. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Emptying the Dirt Cup

Empty the Dirt Cup after every use or when full.

1. Turn off the VACMOP and remove it from the charging dock.
2. Hold the unit over a trash can. Press the Empty Button to release the bottom door.
3. Gently shake to dislodge debris. Close the door until it clicks.
4. For the Dirty Water Tank, press the release button, remove the tank, and empty it into a sink or toilet. Rinse if needed.

Replacing the Brush Roll & Pads

Brush Roll: Turn the unit over. Press the two release tabs on the brush cover, lift it off, and pull the brush roll out. Clear debris, rinse if necessary, and reinsert.

Pads: To remove, simply pull the microfiber pad away from the magnetic base. Wash in warm water with mild detergent. Air dry completely before reattaching.
