Cleaning hard floors
Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard floor
surfaces such as ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, marble,
stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your
Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may
result in a diminished glossiness. The Steam Mop is
not for use on unsealed wood floors. For best results
test in an inconspicuous area or check the care
instructions from your flooring manufacturer.
1. When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning
by slowly passing over surface while pressing
trigger to emit steam.
2. To sanitize an area of your floor, leave the
Steam Mop over area for a minimum 15
seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds. For
larger areas, overlap swivel head placement.
3. When the Steam Mop stops emitting steam,
simply remove the water tank, refill and
continue cleaning.
When you're done
1. Unplug power cord from outlet.
2. Carefully remove mop pad from swivel head, as
mop pad and lower assembly will be hot.
3. Any water remaining in the water tank should
be emptied prior to machine storage.
4. Mop pad can be machine washed in hot water.
Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
5. Wrap power cord around Quick Release cord
wrap on side of Steam Mop.
6. Wipe all surfaces of Steam Mop with a soft
cloth. Store upright in a protected, dry area.
NOTE: If steam output is reduced, the nozzle
may be blocked. To remedy, unplug unit,
remove swivel head from lower body and pour
vinegar through center tube of swivel head
“neck”. Clear nozzle by inserting a paper clip
into the brass spray tip located in bottom of
lower body.
Operation
CAUTION:
Upright storage of the
Steam Mop with a wet mop
pad may result in the
formation of white marks on
your floor. To remove the
white marks, clean area
with vinegar.
WARNING:
Never put descaling,
aromatic, alcoholic, or
detergent products into
the steam cleaner, as
this may damage it or
make it unsafe for use.
Tip:
During first use, it may
take several seconds for
the Steam Mop to begin
steaming. The water
needs to flow through the
water filter to the heater.
This delay will only occur
during initial use or when
using a new water filter.

Please do not return this product to the store.
Tip:
Using distilled or demineralized
water will maximize the
performance of your water filter.
Tip:
Be sure to use only a BISSELL
water water filter in your Steam
Mop.
Replacing the water filter
If you fill your Steam Mop cleaner with normal tap
water, it is essential to check the water filter and
replace it when it is no longer effective. Change the
water filter when the bright green grains turn blue.
If the water filter is not changed at the appropriate
time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the
heating element, causing damage or reduced
performance.
Using distilled or demineralized water will
maximize the performance of your water filter.
To order a replacement water water filter refer to
the replacement parts section on page 11.
