WARNING: Exercise extreme care when using your steam mop on hardwood floors. Prolonged application of steam in one area increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber floors. Test steam mop in an inconspicuous area before mopping a large area. The steam mop generates hot steam, so move the unit continuously when depressing the trigger. The trigger does not need to be depressed at all times. Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment, making it more susceptible to steam damage. Check with your timber floor treatment and application specialist prior to steam mop operation.
The water tank is located on the top of the PowerFresh® Steam Mop. It can be refilled with water any time during use. Distilled or demineralized water is recommended in place of tap water.
Do not use chemicals in the water tank of your PowerFresh Steam Mop.
(Low, Medium, High) SmartSet™ Steam Control indicator light will stop blinking when PowerFresh® Steam Mop is ready to use. Then press the Steam Level button to choose the level of steam you desire.
Reusable microfiber mop pads are machine washable and safe for virtually all hard floor surfaces. Your PowerFresh may have come with two different pads. The white microfiber pad is best for everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed hardwoods and laminate. The gray and white striped pad can be used for scrubbing heavily soiled floors and cleaning tougher messes.
Quickly clean sticky messes by pressing the Easy Scrubber with your foot and locking it into position. Clean grout and crevices easily with this effective tool.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use your PowerFresh Steam Mop without water in the tank. You may hear a knocking sound indicating there is no water.
The mop pad may have already come attached to the mop head, if not follow steps 1a and 1b below.
1. Add Fragrance Disc and attach mop pad
a. Insert Spring Breeze Fragrance Disc into pocket inside mop pad. Use the whole disc for a refreshing scent or cut in half for a lighter scent.
b. Set mop head in mop pad, making sure quick-grip release tab is located on the back.
2. Fill the water tank
a. Remove tank by lifting straight up and away from unit.
b. Unscrew cap at bottom of water tank.
c. Fill water tank with water. For best results, water should be at room temperature.
d. Replace the cap, tighten until snug.
e. Replace water tank by gently sliding tank into place and press down firmly.
3. Twist the Quick Release™ cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord completely and plug into a 120-Volt outlet as described on the Important Safety Instructions, page 3.
4. SmartSet™ Steam Select Indicator light will glow when PowerFresh Steam Mop is ready to use. Press the Steam Level button to choose the level of steam you desire.
NOTE: Upon first use of the PowerFresh® Steam Mop or first use after refilling the water tank, the pump may make a “knocking” sound. This is normal and should only last a few seconds.
WARNING: Never put descaling, alcoholic, or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.
Tip: » Use of distilled or demineralized water is recommended to prolong the life of your hard floor cleaner. To add a fresh scent as you clean, try BISSELL demineralized waters in various scents like Citrus, Eucalyptus Mint and Spring Breeze.
Thoroughly sweep or vacuum floor prior to cleaning with the PowerFresh® Steam Mop.
Your PowerFresh® Steam Mop is designed to clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile, laminate, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your PowerFresh Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished glossiness. The PowerFresh Steam Mop 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.

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 attachment on spots or stains, or glide it over the same spot for longer than 20 seconds.
1. Place the swivel mop head, with mop pad attached, in the carpet refresher attachment.
NOTE: The PowerFresh® Steam Mop rests in the carpet refresher attachment (select models) and may not stay attached to the swivel mop head. It is meant to glide over the carpet.
2. Fill the water tank with water. Begin refreshing your carpet or rug by pushing the PowerFresh® Steam Mop in a forward and backward motion, releasing steam as you go.
3. When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet or rug.
NOTE: Move the PowerFresh® 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 PowerFresh® Steam Mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment in place. DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position.
