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.

Assembly

Your deep cleaner comes in two easy to assemble components:

1. Upper handle

2. Portable spot cleaner/Base

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

1. Slide the upper handle onto the body of the machine by guiding the 2 posts on the body into the opening on the upper handle.
   

2. Firmly holding the upper handle in place, screw 2 screws into the marked holes at an upward angle above the support handle.
   

3. At an upward angle, screw the remaining 2 screws into the marked outermost holes under the support handle.
   

4. Wrap power cord around Quick Release Cord Wrap.
   

5. Wrap flex hose around the hose wrap and secure with hose secure latch.
   

6. Align the product as image 4 shows and firmly push down the portable spot cleaner until it is secured on both sides.

7. Check latches on both sides to confirm it is secured (5).

8. Snap attachment(s) into the back of unit.
   NOTE: Portable spot cleaner must be fully secure to operate in the upright mode.
   To further check if the portable spot cleaner is secure, plug in and turn on to verify that the heat indicator light is illuminated. If the heat indicator light does not illuminate, release the pod and re-secure by pushing firmly until both sides snap into place.

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

Operations

Special features

Innovative cleaning technology
This innovative deep cleaner offers two machines in one. The upright deep cleaner uses the power of heat, brushes and cleaning formula to get deep down dirt for a maximum clean. The portable spot cleaner detaches to clean tough spots and stains and hard to reach areas.

Hot water heater
This deep cleaner features a patented built-in hot water heater which will heat the hot tap water you put in to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater temperature is limited to prevent carpet damage. The heater automatically turns on when you turn the machine on. This operates only in upright cleaning mode.

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 warranty, you do not need to hire a professional. By using your BISSELL deep cleaner with BISSELL 2X 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. Refer to the Scotchgard Protector warranty for details.

Tip: For easy carrying, grab the carry handle portable spot cleaner and balance with the handle on the back of the machine.

Before you clean

1. Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
2. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner thoroughly before deep cleaning.
3. Pretreating (optional):
   A. Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entryway and hallways.
   B. BISSELL Tough Stain precleaner
   Spray the BISSELL Tough Stain precleaner formula onto heavy traffic areas, soiled areas or stains. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes. Clean as normal, using the deep cleaner in upright mode, following the instructions below.

Upright cleaning mode

Filling formula & water tank

1. Remove tank from the base of the machine by lifting up tank carry handle.
   Note: This tank was designed with a flat bottom so it can be easily filled.

2. Unscrew the black cap and remove bottle insert.

3. Fill tank with hot tap water to the water fill line. Add two ounces of BISSELL 2X formula to the tank.

If that happens, be sure to unplug your machine, remove the foreign object, and then plug the machine back in to reset the circuit breaker.

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.
