Operations

Special Features

Removable water tank
The water tank is located on the back of the Steam & Sweep™ Pet. 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 with your Steam & Sweep™ pet.

Water purification system
This filter removes minerals and other impurities from tap water, preventing water deposits from damaging your Steam & Sweep™ Pet. It should be replaced when the bright green grains turn blue. To maximize performance of the filter, distilled water should be used.

Ready light
The ready light will glow when water has been converted to steam and the Steam & Sweep™ Pet is ready to use.

Steam on demand trigger
Press to release steam.

Maneuverable swivel head
Allows you to pick up dust and small debris while steam cleaning your floor. The maneuverable swivel head gets into tight spaces and under cabinets.

Deluxe mop pads
Reusable microfiber mop pad is machine washable and safe for all hard floor surfaces.

Tip:
To prevent damage to the machine, do not attempt to use your Steam & Sweep™ Pet without water in the tank.

Getting ready

Steam & Sweep™ Pet will not pick up crayons, marbles, and other large objects.

1. The mop pad may have already come attached to the swivel head. If not, attach mop pad to swivel head using the Velcro strips.
2. Fill the water tank.
   1. Remove the tank by lifting straight up and away from the unit.
      
   2. Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the water tank and remove the insert assembly.
      
   3. Fill the water tank with water. For best results, water should be at room temperature.
   4. Replace the insert assembly and cap, tighten until snug.
      
   5. Replace the water tank by lining up the vertical guides and gently sliding it back into place.
      
3. Twist the quick release cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord completely, make sure both switches are in the "OFF" position and plug it into a 120-volt grounded outlet as described on the Important Safety Instructions page.
4. Turn power button on. The ready light will illuminate when the Steam & Sweep™ Pet is ready for use.

NOTE: Upon first use of the Steam & Sweep™ pet or first use of a new filter, the pump may make a "knocking" sound while the filter fills with water. This is normal and should not last longer than 1 minute. Continue to depress the trigger until the knocking subsides.

Before you clean

The Steam & Sweep™ pet can be used as a sweeper and a steam Power Switch mop at the same time. For best results on pet hair, use the Steam & Sweep™ pet's powerful sweeper to clear the floor of pet hair prior to mopping.

1. Turn the brush switch to the On ( I ) position to activate the brush.
2. To empty the dirt container, turn the power off, gently tap the release pedal on the swivel head. Lift unit straight up leaving bin on floor and empty into a trash can. The dirt container may be warm to the touch.
3. Replace the dirt container by pushing it back into the swivel head until it snaps back into place.

Steam cleaning hard floors

Never put descaling aromatic, alcoholic, or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.

Tip:
The Steam & Sweep™ Pet may be used as both a steam mop and a sweeper at the same time.

Your Steam & Sweep™ pet is designed to clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile, vinyl, marble, stone and sealed hard wood floors. Use of your Steam & Sweep™ pet on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in a diminished glossiness. The Steam & Sweep™ pet 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.

1. When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning by slowly passing over the surface while pressing the steam on demand trigger to emit steam as needed.
2. To sanitize an area of your floor, (attack invisible germs and bacteria) leave the Steam & Sweep™ Pet over the area for a minimum of 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds. For larger areas, overlap swivel head placement.
3. When the Steam & Sweep™ Pet stops emitting steam, turn the unit off. Simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue cleaning.

Tip:
During first use, it may take several seconds for the Steam & Sweep™ Pet to begin steaming. The water needs to flow through the filter to the heater. This delay will only occur during initial use or when using a new filter.

Maintenance and care

Upright storage of the Steam & Sweep™ Pet 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.

When you're done

1. Make sure both power switches are in the OFF () 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. For best results, air dry.
5. Wrap power cord around quick release cord wrap on side of Steam & Sweep™ Pet.
6. Wipe all surfaces of Steam & Sweep™ Pet 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.

Replacing the water purification system

Tip:
Be sure to use only a BISSELL water filter in your Steam & Sweep™ Pet.

If you fill your Steam & Sweep™ pet 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 appropriate time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the heating element, causing damage or reduced performance.

To replace the filter, pull it up and away from the Steam & Sweep™ pet.
Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the performance of your filter.

To order a replacement filter, refer to the Replacement parts section.
