www.bissell.com Operations 8 cleaning hard floors continued 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 sanitise an area of your floor, (attack invis- ible germs and bacteria) place the center of the Lift-Off Steam Mop over the spot and apply steam for a minimum of 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds. For larger areas, overlap swivel head placement. Important: Sanitising on timber floors is not recommended, as prolonged application of steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment of 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 Lift-Off Steam Mop stops emitting steam, simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue cleaning. nOTe: upon first use of this steam prod- uct or first use of a new filter, the pump may make a "knocking" sound while the filter fills with water. This sound is normal and may last up to one minute. continue to depress the trigger until the knocking sound subsides and the unit emits steam. steam cleaning all living areas Stubborn messes that resist traditional water and cleaning solutions can be removed with steam. Toothpaste or hair spray on the bathroom sink, soap scum on sliding shower walls—steam makes all these far easier to clean. 1. Fill the water tank with cool tap water or dis- tilled/demineralized water and replace back on Detachable Steam Pod. 2. Remove Steam Pod by pressing the pod release button on the top of the carry handle and pulling the pod out and away from the lower base. 3. Remove cord from pod and connect the plug to an appropriate outlet. 4. Remove hose from pod by pressing the clip at the end of the hose where it connects to the detachable pod. 5. Connect desired tool to the end of the hose. 6. When blue ready light turns on, the steamer is ready to use. 7. To activate steam, press the pod release button on the top of the carry handle. To stop steaming, release the pod release button. WARnInG: Never put descaling, aromatic (not including the BISSELL Eucalyptus Mint and water products), alcoholic or detergent product 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 Lift-Off Steam Mop 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. cAuTIOn: Exercise extreme care when using the Lift-Off Steam Mop on timber flooring. Ensure the Lift-Off Steam Mop is thoroughly tested in an inconspicuous area prior to mopping a large floor area. The Lift-Off Steam Mop generates hot steam, so when depressing the trigger to apply steam, ensure the Lift-Off Steam Mop 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 treat- ment on timber floors. Check with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior to Lift-Off Steam Mop 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 Lift-Off Steam Mop on timber flooring.

If you fill your Lift-Off Steam Mop cleaner with normal tap water, it is essential to check the water purification system and replace it when it is no longer effective.
