Steam Mop Max with a wet
mop pad may result in the
formation of white marks on
your floor. To remove the
white marks, clean area

BISSELL water filter in
your Steam Mop Max.
When you're done

may be blocked. To remedy, unplug unit,
remove swivel head from lower body and pour
vinegar through center tube of swivel head
“neck”. Clear nozzle by inserting a paper clip

Replacing the water purification system
If you fill your Steam Mop Max cleaner with normal
tap water, it is essential to check the water purifi-
cation system 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
appropriate time, calcium deposits will
accumulate on the heating element, causing
damage or reduced performance.
Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize
the performance of your filter.
To order a replacement water purification system
refer to the replacement parts section on page 11.
