Maintenance and care
When you’re done
1. Make sure both power switches are
in the OFF (O)position. 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
warm water with mild detergent. Do
not use bleach or fabric softeners. For
best results, air dry.
5. Wrap power cord around quick
release cord wrap on side of Steam &
Sweep.
6. Wipe all surfaces of Steam & Sweep
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 the unit, remove
the swivel head from the lower
body and pour vinegar through
the center tube of the swivel
head “neck”. Clear the nozzle
by inserting a paper clip into the
brass spray tip located in the
bottom of the lower body.
If you fill your Steam & Sweep cleaner
with normal tap water, it is essential to
check the filter 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 appro-
priate time, calcium deposits will accu-
mulate on the heating element, causing
damage or reduced performance.
To replace the filter, pull it up and
away from the Steam & Sweep.
Using distilled or demineralized
water will maximize the
performance of your filter.
To order a replacement filter, refer
to the replacement parts section on
page 10.
CAUTION:
Upright storage of the
Steam & Sweep 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.
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 &
Sweep.
