1. Attach the Extension Wand to the Mop Pad Foot by snapping it into place.
2. Then, insert the Handheld Pod to the Extension Wand until it clicks into place.
3. Attach the tool box to the Handheld Pod by aligning the clip on the back side of the Tool Box to the opening on the bottom of the Handheld Pod and slide down into place.
4. Wrap the cord around the palm of your hand into a circle. Then, place the wrap strap around the cord and back onto itself to secure.

NOTE: For instructions on attaching the Wall Mount and Storage, please refer to page 12.

Filling Your Water Tank

1. The clean water tank is located on the top of the Handheld Pod.
2. Pull the water tank cap straight up to open.
3. Use water cup provided and fill with distilled or demineralized water, recommended in place of tap water. Close the water tank cap after filling.

A few notes about filling the Water Tank:
• The Water Tank’s capacity is 350 mL (12 oz).
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS IN THE WATER TANK OF YOUR POWERFRESH® SLIM STEAM MOP.
• Other solutions may harm the machine and void the warranty.

NOTE: Use of distilled water or demineralized water is recommended to prolong the life of your steam mop. To add a fresh scent as you clean, try BISSELL demineralized waters in various scents like Citrus, Eucalyptus Mint and Spring Breeze.

Attaching Microfiber Mop Pads

1. Your PowerFresh® Slim Steam Mop may have come with two different pads.
   The White Mop Pad is best for everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed hardwoods and laminate. The Scrubby Mop Pad is recommended for durable surfaces like tile.

2. To attach mop pad, wrap mop pad around the bottom of the foot, making sure the gray stitching is located on the front of the foot and the Quick Grip Release™ Tab is located on the back.

Using SmartSet™ Steam Control

NOTE: You must wait until the STEAM READY light is a solid color before selecting your desired steam level. Upon the first use of your steam mop or first use after refilling the water tank, the pump may make a “knocking” sound. This is normal and will diminish after a few seconds.

Cleaning Your Hard Floors

NOTE: Before you clean, thoroughly sweep or vacuum floor prior to cleaning with the PowerFresh® Slim Steam Mop.

YOUR STEAM MOP IS DESIGNED TO CLEAN HARD FLOORING SUCH AS CERAMIC TILE, LAMINATE, MARBLE, STONE AND SEALED HARDWOOD FLOORS. USE OF YOUR STEAM MOP ON WAXED OR SOME UNWAXED FLOORS MAY RESULT IN A DIMINISHED GLOSSINESS. THE STEAM MOP IS NOT FOR USE ON UNSEALED FLOORS. FOR BEST RESULTS, TEST IN AN INCONSPICUOUS AREA AND CHECK THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOUR FLOORING MANUFACTURER.

NOTE: Your Steam Mop may have already come assembled with a mop pad on the foot. If not, refer to instructions on page 6 in the “Attaching Microfiber Mop Pads” section to learn how to attach the mop pad.
