How to use this guide

This user’s guide has been designed to help you get the maximum satisfaction from your BISSELL deep cleaner. You’ll find assembly and operating instructions, safety precautions, as well as maintenance and troubleshooting instructions. Please read this user’s guide thoroughly before assembling your deep cleaner. Your deep cleaner comes in three easy toassemble components:

  • Handle assembly
  • Upper body assembly
  • Lower body assembly

Three Phillips head screws are also included and can be found taped to handle assembly.

Warning: Do not plug in your cleaner until you have completely assembled it per the following instructions and are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Tip: Deep cleaning carpeting regularly can reduce dust and allergens in your home.

Assembly

The only tool you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.

  1. Slide upper body assembly onto lower body and secure with two screws.
  2. Slide handle assembly down into upper body until it will go no further and secure with screw.

Special features of your BISSELL deep cleaner

Your BISSELL deep cleaner is a home cleaning system that uses a combination of hot tap water, BISSELL advanced cleaning formula, brush agitation and suction to safely clean carpets.

DirtLifter® PowerBrushThe DirtLifter PowerBrush is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights. When the power is ON ( I ) and the machine is in the upright position, your carpet is protected because the brushes are lifted up off the carpet.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL advanced deep cleaning formula for full size machines in yourdeep cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas that contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your deep cleaner causing cracking or pitting.

Measuring cupYour deep cleaner is equipped with a measuring cup for adding the proper amount of formula to the 2-in-1 tank. For convenience the measuring cup is built into the lid of the 2-in-1 tank.

2-in-1 water tankOur 2-in-1 water tank system is designed with a heavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the clean water in the bladder will empty and mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty water pulled out of your carpets will collect around the outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are always kept separate. This allows the user to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.

ATTENTION:Some Berber carpets have a tendency to fuzz with wear. Repeated strokes in the same area with an ordinary vacuum ordeep cleaner may aggravate this condition.

Operation

Before you clean

  1. Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.
  2. Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
  3. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner before deep cleaning.
  4. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
  5. Pretreating (optional) Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entry ways and hallways.To pretreat:A. Using the BISSELL Tough Stain Pre-cleaner, generously spray evenly over soiled area, do not over wet.B. Wait 3-5 minutes before deep cleaning.C. Clean as normal using your BISSELL deep cleaner, following the instructions below.

Fill the 2-in-1 water tank

  1. With your foot, press the handle release lever on the back of the machine and lay handle down to access the tank.
  2. Remove the tank from the base of the machine by lifting the tank carry handle.
  3. Carry like a bucket to the sink. Rotate the handle forward to unlatch the lid. Remove lid, turn over and locate built in measuring cup.
  4. Fill formula to the indicated fill line on the built in measuring cup and pour into mouth of the bladder.If using BISSELL 3X Concentrate formulas: add one formula capful directly into the mouth of the bladder.
  5. Fill up the bladder with clean hot tap water. *Do not boil or microwave water as it can destroy the bladder.
  6. Replace the top of the tank by matching the lid and tank edges. Handle must be in the forward position in order to replace lid. Rotate the handle to the carrying position to latch the lid.Note: Remember to secure the lid and test to make sure it is secure before picking up the tank.
  7. Place tank into machine base, seating firmly in place. Rotate tank handle back into latched position. Bring machine handle back into upright position.

Tip: Thorough vacuuming before deep cleaning will prevent early clogging of the lint trap.

Carpet cleaning strokes

  1. Plug the deep cleaner into a proper outlet and turn the power switch ON (I). The switch is located on the back of the unit.
  2. With your foot, press the handle release lever on the back of the lower body of unit.
  3. While pressing the spray trigger, make one slow forward wet pass and another back. Let the BISSELL advanced deep cleaning formula and DirtLifter PowerBrush do the work for you. Caution: Do not over wet.
  4. Release the spray trigger and make one slow forward and backward pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water and aid in drying.
  5. Repeat cleaning passes until solution being pulled up appears clean. Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being suctioned up.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELLcleaning fluids intended for use with the deep cleaner. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and void the warranty.
