Exercise extreme care when using the Steam 
Mop on timber flooring. Ensure the Steam mop is 
thoroughly tested in an inconspicuous area prior to 
mopping a large floor area. The Steam Mop generates hot steam, 
so when depressing the trigger to apply steam, ensure the 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 treatment on timber 
floors. Check with your timber floor treatment application special-
ist prior to Steam Mop operation. Regular foot traffic and direct 
sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment making it 
more susceptible to extreme care when using the Steam Mop on 
timber flooring.
www. bissell.com
      
Never put descaling aromatic, alcoholic, or deter -
gent products into the steam cleaner, as this may 
damage it or make it unsafe for use.
Tinted plates on foot may get hot while steam mop is in use.   
Do not touch while hot.
Upright storage of the PowerFresh 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.
