IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
  Do not modify the three-prong grounded plug.

• Do not leave appliance when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• Use indoors only.

• Do not immerse. Use only on surfaces moistened by cleaning process.

• Always install float before any wet pick-up operation.

• Use only BISSELL® cleaning products intended for use with this appliance to prevent internal component damage. See the Cleaning Formulas section of this guide.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Do not use for any purpose other than described in this user guide. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water; do not attempt to operate it and have it repaired at an authorized service center.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts of the appliance and its accessories.

• Turn OFF all controls before plugging or unplugging appliance.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• Unplug from outlet before filling, rinsing, or cleaning.

• Do not turn over the steam-cleaning nozzle, or touch the surface of the nozzle when using the steam-cleaner.

• Do not apply steam directly to any person or animal.

• Do not touch the steam-cleaning nozzle or adjacent surfaces when steam-cleaning or when the nozzle is heated.

• Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments – use of attachments not provided or sold by BISSELL may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

• Do not turn your appliance ON until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

• Keep appliance on a level surface.

• Do not leave steam cleaner unattended.

• Do not use appliance in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner, some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.

• Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

•  Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from children.

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 illustration. 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.

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
