Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged.
The batteries can explode in a fire.
Use only with charger SIL, Model SSC-420085US.
Recharge appliance only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of injury and fire when used with another battery pack.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

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

Then, place the Rinse Cup into the Rinse Funnel. NOTE: The 3-in-1 Docking Station functions as a Rinse and Clean Out Tray, Charging Station and Storage Tray for the machine and Brush Roll.

Charging the Battery

Lift and place your CrossWave® Cordless onto the 3-in-1 Docking Station to charge.
Plug the adapter into a suitable wall outlet. The Battery Life Indicator Lights will illuminate when charging. If LED lights do not turn on, realign the unit on the 3-in-1 Docking Station.

WARNING Overcharging may cause battery damage, ﬁre or explosion.

Filling the Clean Water Tank

Lift the Clean Water Tank straight up to remove from the machine.
Unscrew the cap from the Clean Water Tank. The Clean Water Tank has two measuring volumes depending on the amount of space you would like to clean.
The Clean Water Tank has a Large Area volume and a Small Area volume. Pick one of the measuring volumes that best suits the space that you would like to clean.
The Large Area fill lines are for areas up to 700 sqft.
The Small Area fill lines are for areas under 350 sqft.
Use warm (140°F/60°C max) tap water and add the appropriate BISSELL formula.
Screw the cap back onto the Clean Water Tank.
On the back of the machine, align Clean Water Tank with the grooves and slide tank into place until you hear a “click”.

Cleaning Your Floors

ATTENTION Do not overwet carpet. Be careful not to run over loose objects or edges of area rugs. Stalling the brush may result in premature belt failure.

Select cleaning mode:
To start cleaning your hard floors, turn the machine ON by pressing the HARD FLOOR Button or RUG Button. Once the setting is selected, the dry vacuum will turn ON. To turn OFF, press the HARD FLOOR Button or RUG Button a second time. Area Rug Mode dispenses twice as much solution as Hard Floor Mode. Before cleaning area rugs, check the manufacturer’s tag and test an inconspicuous spot on the rug for colorfastness.
Do not use on silk or delicate rugs.
Recline the Body of the machine backward to start the Brush Roll spinning. To stop the Brush Roll spinning, you will need to stand the machine upright.
Before each use, hold the Solution Spray Trigger for 10 seconds to prime the system with cleaning solution. LED lights illuminate when holding the trigger.
NOTE: When solution is flowing, you will see bubbles forming at the edges of the Brush Roll Window.
To clean, hold the Solution Spray Trigger to apply solution on both forward and backward passes.
To dry floors faster, release the trigger and clean a second pass without dispensing solution.

TIP: When cleaning excessively dirty or muddy hard floors, or if your Brush Roll looks dirty, use the 3-in-1 Docking Station to rinse your Brush Roll before cleaning your area rugs.
TIP: For overly challenging and stuck-on messes on your hard floors, activate the RUG mode and hold your CrossWave® Cordless over the mess. Using short passes while holding the trigger allows the multi-surface brush to go to work.

Using the 3-in-1 Docking Station

WARNING To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock or injury, turn power OFF and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or roubleshooting.
NOTE: The unit will begin to charge once it is docked, assuming the 3-in-1 Docking Station is plugged in. Charging will pause when running the Clean Out Cycle. Once the
Clean Out Cycle is complete, charging will resume.

Place unit on 3-in-1 Docking Station.
Fill Rinse Cup with water.
Pour water into the Rinse Funnel on the 3-in-1 Docking Station to the MAX fill line.
Hold down Clean Out Button on top of the Carry Handle. The cycle only runs when the button is held down.
Hold down Clean Out Button for about 10 to 15 seconds to allow unit to flush out and pick up all the water. Repeat as needed.
Grasp Brush Roll Window at the front of the window face and pull upward to remove.

NOTE: The 3-in-1 Docking Station needs to be plugged into an outlet in order to run the Clean Out Cycle. If the Clean Out Button is held down over a minute, the unit will stop cleaning automatically.
