GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance
for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for
this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It
must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug in the drawing above. Make certain that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be
used with this appliance.
This model is for household uses only.

Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat
Your BISSELL ProHeat deep cleaner is a home cleaning system that automatically mixes hot tap water with BISSELL advanced cleaning formulas and heats the solution as it is applied to the carpet. The combination of heated solution, rotating brushes and powerful suction provide a safe and effective method of cleaning.
Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat
SmartTemp®
The BISSELL ProHeat models all feature a patented built-in heater which will
heat hot tap water you put in up to 25° degrees hotter to safely optimize
cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed
180°. The heater switch which is located on the back of the machine controls
the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning
delicate or oriental rugs.
DirtLifter® PowerBrush
The 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.
SmartMix®
The SmartMix feature automatically mixes hot tap water with the BISSELL
advanced cleaning formula. Simply choose one of the 3 settings (Heavy Traffic,
Normal, or Water Rinse) and the ProHeat will adjust the right amount of
cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to fit your cleaning need.
Having a separate solution tank from the water tank allows no waste of
formula. Because the water and solution are stored separately, they are not
mixed until you are ready to clean. When your cleaning job is finished, the
formula can be stored ready to use in your machine for the next time!
This feature is available on all ProHeat models.
Scotchgard™ Protector
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically wears down over time from
heavy foot traffic and everyday cleaning, including deep cleaning. To help
restore this important protection, only BISSELL offers deep cleaning formulas
with Scotchgard protector. This offers extra protection against dirt and tough
stains to keep your carpets looking good longer.
To maintain your Scotchgard 5-year limited stain war- ranty, you no longer are
required to hire a professional. By using your BISSELL ProHeat machine with
BISSELL formulas containing Scotchgard protector every 12 months, your carpet
warranty from 3M remains in effect. No other home deep cleaning system can do
this for you.
Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat
Tank-in-Tank™
Our Tank-in-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 you to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank
to and from the sink for emptying and filling.
ReadyTools Dial
This provides either floor cleaning or above the floor cleaning with the flip
of a switch. If choosing above floor cleaning for upholstery, stairs, or along
the baseboards, choose the attachment appropriate for the job. Attach tool to
the hose, and you are ready to go!
Flow Indicator
This is located on the machine base. It spins when the trigger is pressed to
indicate that the machine is applying cleaning solution to the carpet and will
stop spinning when the SmartMix tank or bladder needs to be refilled, or when
the trigger is released.
Note: Flow Indicator does not spin when spraying through the attachment hose.
Operation
Before you clean
- Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.
- Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
- Thoroughly vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner before deep cleaning.
- Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
- Pretreating (optional)
Note: Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entryways and hallways.
A. Spray the BISSELL Tough Stain Pre-treat formula onto heavy traffic areas, soiled areas, or stains.
B. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes.
C. Following the instructions below, clean as normal, using the BISSELL ProHeat machine on the high traffic setting.
ATTENTION:
Some Berber carpets have a tendency to fuzz with wear. Repeated strokes in the
same area with an ordinary vacuum or deep cleaner may aggravate this
condition. Please see cleaning fluid section on page 15.
Fill the water tank
-
Release the handle and lay the machine handle back to access the tank.
-
Remove the tank from the base of the machine by lifting the tank carry handle.
-
Carry like a bucket to the sink. Rotate the handle for- ward to unlatch the lid. Lift off and set the lid aside.
-
Fill up the bladder with clean hot tap water.
*Do not boil or microwave water as it can destroy the bladder. -
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
Note: Remember to secure the lid and test to make sure it is secure before picking up the Tank. -
Place tank into machine base, seating firmly in place. Rotate tank handle back into latched position. Bring machine handle back into upright position.
Fill the SmartMix/formula tank
- Lift the formula tank up and out of the machine base.
2a. Fill the formula tank by first unscrewing the cap and insert. Always use genuine BISSELL formulas to maximize cleaning and for the safety of your machine. Fill formula up to the line and replace the cap and insert. Place formula tank into the slot in the back of the machine for a snug fit.
2b. If using the BISSELL 3X Concentrated Fiber Cleansing Formula: Add 3 capfuls of 3X Concentrated Fiber Cleansing formula to the formula tank, and then fill with hot water to the line.
Note: If bottle leaks, check for proper positioning of red grommet and straw.
WARNING:
To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Electric Shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning fluids intended for use with the deep cleaner.
Choose the SmartMix setting
Simply choose one of the 3 settings
- Heavy Traffic
- Normal
- Water Rinse and the ProHeat will adjust the right amount of cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to fit your cleaning need.
NOTE: When your cleaning job is finished, the formula can be stored ready to use in your machine for the next time!
Set ready tools dial
Set ready tools dial to floor cleaning.
Power switch
-
Plug into a proper outlet and turn the power and heater switches to the ON ( I ) position.
The switches are found on the back of the handle. Allow 1 minute for the built-in heater to warm-up before cleaning. The ProHeat will be fully warmed and will provide optimal performance after a minute of continuous heated cleaning. -
The SmartTemp ready light indicates when the heater is ON ( I ).
Note: SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and hard floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools.
Tip:
Deep Cleaning stairs and heavy traffic areas on a regular basis can prolong carpet life.
Cleaning strokes
-
While pressing the trigger, make one slow forward wet pass and another one back. Let the built-in heater, formula, and DirtLifter PowerBrush do the work for you. Caution: Do not overwet. Take care not to run over loose objects, edges of area rugs, or the cord. Stalling brush may result in premature belt failure.
-
Release the trigger and make one slow forward and backward pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water, and aid in drying. 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 pulled up.
NOTE: Both the SmartMix tank and the clean water tank must have liquid in them in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty the machine will not apply cleaning solution or water. -
After cleaning, you may want to turn the SmartMix dial to water rinse to give your carpeting a final water only rinse. This will ensure thorough removal of embedded dirt loosened by the deep cleaning formula.
BISSELL deep cleaning formulas contain an anti-resoiling agent that helps your carpets repel dirt and keeps them looking good longer.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, unplug from the outlet before servicing.
Empty the tank
-
Remove the water tank from the base using the tank carry handle. Carry the tank like a bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will dispose of the collection water. Remove the top of the tank by rotating the handle forward to unlatch lid and lifting lid off tank.
-
Empty collection water from bottom of tank.
NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the cleaning action (especially with newer carpets that have never been deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked up and thrown away. -
After each use, remove and rinse the lint screen located on the tank lid.
-
Refill the Tank-in-Tank by referencing “Fill the water tank” on page 9. Remember to secure the top of the tank by rotating the handle and test to make sure it is secure before picking up.
-
Return Tank-in-Tank to the machine.
NOTE: Always check the level of cleaning formula in the SmartMix tank at the same time, and refill as needed
Rinse (optional)
Rinsing is an optional step that can be done during the cleaning process by
switching to the water rinse setting, or it can be done after the carpeted
area has been cleaned.
- Simply choose the water rinse setting on the SmartMix dial, and follow the same path as you did for cleaning, taking care to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the trig- ger, a backward (wet) stroke, and a forward and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the trigger. Continue this until the water you see coming up the nozzle is clear.
Maintenance and care
Machine storage
Once your cleaning is complete, make sure the water tank is emptied and rinsed
out. Put the unit away in a closet or basement for the next use. The SmartMix
tank can remain filled and ready to go (store with machine set to water rinse
setting), or it can simply be emptied back into the formula bottle if that is
more convenient.
Note: Store cleaner in a protected, dry area.
Since this product uses water, it must not be stored where there is a danger
of freezing.
Freezing will damage internal components and void the warranty.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, unplug from the
outlet before servicing.
Machine care
For best results, a few simple steps can assure your machine is well
maintained after your cleaning is complete.
-
Turn power and heater switches OFF ( 0 ).
Unplug the machine and wrap the power cord. -
After emptying the water tank, rinse it out at a faucet with running hot tap water, taking care to clean underneath the heavy duty bladder, and all around it. Clean out lint trap.
-
Replace the Tank-in-Tank on the machine.
-
Clean out the flow indicator filter each time it is used to ensure best cleaning performance. Unscrew the flow indicator cap, lift out the red rotor and white filter. Rinse all three parts with water. Replace the filter and rotor. Replace the flow indicator cap. Turn until snug, do not over-tighten.
-
Any loose hair or debris can be pulled from the brush roll if desired and thrown away.
-
Wipe the machine’s exterior with a soft cloth.
-
After carpet is dry, vacuum again to remove hair and fuzz.
Cleaning with attachments
Your ProHeat machine comes equipped with a hose and at least one attachment
for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.
-
Important! If using to clean upholstery, check upholstery tags for instructions.
Cleaning with attachments (continued)
A. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your ProHeat. If the tag is coded with an “X” or an “S” (with a diagonal stripe through it), or says “Dry Clean Only”, do not proceed with any deep cleaning machine. Do not use on Velvet or Silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer or manufacturer.
B. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
C. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.
D. Plan activities to allow upholstery time to dry.
E. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice tool to clean in fabric folds. WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, be extra careful when cleaning stairs. Make sure machine is secure and level. -
Follow the instructions on page 9 for filling the water tank and the formula tank.
-
Set ready tools dial to the tools setting. This will allow spray and divert the suction to the hose.
*SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and hard floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools. -
Set SmartMix dial to normal.
-
Attach the cleaning tool to the end of the hose.
-
Plug in and turn on the power switch.
-
Clean by pressing the trigger to spray solution onto the area to be cleaned. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface.
Release the trigger to suction soiled water.
Continue to clean in the area, working in small sections, until no more dirt can be removed.
Rinse (optional) and suction as needed.
Caution: Do no overwet. -
When cleaning is complete, remove and rinse tools in clean, running water.
-
Coil hose around the tool caddy.
-
Empty water tank and rinse out, following the instructions on page
-
Return ready tools dial to floor cleaning.

Stain removal
Do Not Delay! Attending to an accident soon after it occurs ensures the
chances for full removal. Leaving it for an extended period of time may cause
it to set and become permanent.
- Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels. White materials are recommended because certain dyes may bleed and make the stain worse.
- Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.
- If the area has dried, remove the remaining semi-solids and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.
- Be sure to test any spot removal formulas in an inconspicuous area first. This is important as some dyes and materials could be damaged or discolored by cleaning solvents. If such a change should occur, try a different solution or call a professional.
- If cleaning on Berber carpeting, gently run your machine over a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in soiled area.
- Using the BISSELL Tough Stain PreCleaner, spray evenly over soiled area. Do not overwet. Wait 3-5 minutes. Gently work the solution by blotting area with a clean, damp, color safe cloth.
- Clean using either the floor cleaning or tools setting on the ReadyTools dial.
Hard floor cleaning
Your ProHeat model may have come with a hard floor attachment and Hard Floor
Solutions formula. If not, these products are available for purchase by
contacting the BISSELL Consumer Services department by phone or on the
website.
The hard floor tool provides effective cleaning for linoleum, vinyl, and tile
floors.
Caution: Do not use on unsealed hardwood floors.
-
Vacuum or sweep thoroughly to pick up any loose debris and pet hair.
-
Move any furniture, if needed.
-
Empty any carpet cleaning formula back into the BISSELL bottle if stored in the formula tank. Fill formula tank with BISSELL Hard Floor Solutions, available at many retailers, or contact BISSELL Consumer Services.
Hard floor cleaning (Continued) -
Fill the water tank with hot tap water and set aside.
-
Attach the hard floor tool onto the floor nozzle with the long tab to the right side of the floor nozzle. First attach left side (short tab) catching tab over nozzle edge. Gently bend long tab (right side) outward to easily snap over edge of clear nozzle on left.
-
Set the ready tools dial to floor cleaning.
-
Set the SmartMix dial to normal clean.
-
Plug into an outlet and turn the power switch and heater ON ( I ).
-
Slowly move the machine forward and back over bare floor surface one time while pressing trigger. Caution: Do not overwet.
-
Repeat the motion without pressing the trigger. This allows the bare floor tool to squeegee and suction up the dirty water.
-
Allow approximately 30 minutes for floors to dry.
-
Remove hard floor tool and rinse and dry before storing.
-
If any formula remains in the formula tank, pour it back into the Hard Floor Solutions bottle for use the next time.
-
Rinse out the formula tank.

FAQS
My PROHEAT® is hot to the touch when I turn it on, but it does not heat. What should I do?
The PROHEAT® has overheated and needs to cool down before you can use it again. Please contact us at 1-800-321-1134 or visit our website at www.bissellproheat.com for further assistance.
How do I clean my filter?
Remove the filter from your machine and wash with warm water and a mild detergent (i.e., dishwashing liquid). Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reinstalling into your machine.
My PROHEAT® will not spray any cleaner onto my floor or carpeting during a cleaning cycle. What should I do?
If this occurs, please check the following items:
Make sure that you have filled the tank with enough water (at least 2
gallons).
Make sure that you have filled the tank with enough cleaning solution (at
least 2 quarts).
Can Bissell ProHeat be used without water?
No, it is a carpet “shampooer” meaning it only works by spraying water in to the carpet.
What is the difference between carpet cleaner and pet carpet cleaner?
Upright carpet cleaners are ideal for cleaning large carpet surfaces, whereas portable carpet cleaners are best for spot cleaning or removing pet stains from smaller carpet surfaces.
Can you use Bissell ProHeat on hardwood?
Yes, it can be used on several types of hard floors. It mentions tile, linoleum, and laminate in the manual.
What can I use instead of Bissell cleaning formula?
To make a carpet shampoo used by many Bissell owners, mix the following: a half cup of laundry detergent (no bleach), a half cup of liquid laundry softener, one cup of ammonia and one gallon of water.
Where is the filter on a Bissell ProHeat?
In Line Filter Assembly (includes Cap & Filter) for ProHeat 2X Upright Carpet Cleaners (equipped with In Line Filters) and Lift-Off Upright Carpet Cleaners. Fits in the top portion of the foot of the Carpet Cleaner, under where the Dirty Water Tank sits on the foot.
How often should you change your Bissell filter?
every 6 months
Your BISSELL air320 has two filters that we recommend you change every 6
months. In this video, we’ll walk you through exactly how to change them, so
your machine stays in tip-top shape. The pre-filter first captures larger
debris like hair and dust.
How do I reset my Bissell my air?
Twist the bottom plate counterclockwise until it clicks into locking place. Once the new filter is in, plug in and turn your air purifier back on. Then, press and hold the filter reset button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep!
Why is my Bissell not picking up water?
A possible cause might be that the tank is not properly seated. To assure the tank is seated properly, pick it up and re-seat is so it sits snugly on the unit. If this doesn’t fix the problem, make sure the tank is assembled properly. To make sure they are both latched properly, pick the tank up by its handle.
How do I know if my HEPA filter is dirty?
Open up the air purifier and remove the pre-filter. Your HEPA filter will have heavy clumps of dirt and dust and it’ll look black if it’s dirty. That’s an indication that your filter needs cleaning or replacement.
