Before you clean
Thoroughly sweep or vacuum floor
prior to cleaning with the Steam
Mop Select.
Cleaning hard floors
Your Steam Mop Select is designed
to clean hard flooring such as
ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, marble,
stone and sealed hard wood floors.
Use of your Steam Mop Select on
waxed or some unwaxed floors may
result in a diminished glossiness.
The Steam Mop Select is not for use
on unsealed wood floors. For best
results test in an inconspicuous area
and check the care instructions from
your flooring manufacturer.
1. Plug the unit in and wait 30 seconds for
it to heat up. Begin cleaning by slowly
passing over surface while pressing the
steam on demand trigger to emit steam
as needed.
2. To sanitize an area of your floor, (attack
invisible germs and bacteria) place the
Steam Mop Select over the spot for a
minimum of 15 seconds using continuous
steam, but no longer than 20 seconds
using continuous steam. For larger
areas, overlap swivel head placement.
Important: Sanitizing on timber floors
is not recommended as prolonged
application of steam in one area
increases the risk of damage to the
surface treatment on timber floors,
especially in areas with regular
foot traffic and direct sunlight,
which will wear down timber floor
surface treatments making it more
susceptible to steam damage. See
CAUTION to the right.
3. When the Steam Mop Select stops
emitting steam, unplug the unit. Simply
remove the water tank, refill, and
continue cleaning.
WARNING:
Never put descaling, alcoholic,
or detergent products into the
steam cleaner, as this may
damage it or make it unsafe for
use. Only use BISSELL authorized
aromatic products.
CAUTION:
Exercise extreme care when using
the Steam Mop Select on timber
flooring. Ensure the Steam Mop
Select an inconspicuous area
prior to mopping a large floor
area. The Steam Mop Select
generates hot steam, so when
depressing the trigger to apply
steam, ensure the Steam Mop
Select is moving continuously.
The trigger does not need to be
depressed at all times. Prolonged
application of steam in one area
increases the risk of damage to
the surface treatment on timber
floors. Check with your timber
floor treatment application
specialist prior to Steam Mop
Select operation. Regular foot
traffic and direct sunlight will
wear down timber floor surface
treatment making it more
susceptible to steam damage.
Exercise extreme care when
using the Steam Mop Select on
timber flooring.
