GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSGrounded
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.
This model is for household uses only.

Cleaning hard floors

Your Steam Mop Deluxe is designed to clean hard floor-ing such as ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your Steam Mop Deluxe on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished glossiness. The Steam Mop Deluxe 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. When the ready light illuminates, 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 center of the Steam Mop deluxe directly over the spot for a minimum 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds. For larger areas, overlap swivel head placement.
  3. When the Steam Mop Deluxe stops emitting steam, simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue cleaning.

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 Deluxe to begin steaming. The water needs to flow through the filter to the heater. This delay will only occur during initial use or when using a new filter.

Carpet Refresher Attachment

This accessory is recommended for the refreshing of carpets. Once the steam mop is cradled in the carpet refresher attachment, it will easily glide over the carpet.
NOTE: Always be sure a mop pad is in place before placing in carpet refresher attachment. Only white mop pads should be used with the carpet attachment. Do not use carpet attach-ment on spots or stains, or glide it over the same spot for longer than 20 seconds.

  4. When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet or rug.
    NOTE: Move the Steam Mop and carpet refresher attachment in a continuous motion until you are finished. This product is not intended to be used as a carpet cleaner, only a carpet refresher or deodorizer. Never attempt to use the Steam Mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment in place. DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position.

Maintenance and care

When you’re doneMaintenance
  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.

  5. Wrap power cord around quick release cord wrap on side of Steam Mop Deluxe.

    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.

CAUTION: Upright storage of the Steam Mop Deluxe 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.

Replacing the water purification system

If you fill your Steam Mop Deluxe cleaner with normal tap water, it is essential to check the water purification system and replace it when it is no longer effective. Change the filter when the bright green grains turn blue. If the 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 filter.
To order a replacement water purification system refer to the replacement parts section on page 11.

Tip: Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the performance of your filter.
Tip: Be sure to use only a BISSELL water filter in your Steam Mop Deluxe.
