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.

Grounded Outlets

         Grounding Pin
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 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.

Product View

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. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and void the warranty.

Cleaning fluid
Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL 2X Fiber Cleansing Formula™ on hand so you can clean and protect whenever it fits your schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas.  Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and will void the warranty.

Assembly

1. Slide the upper body into the lower body.
2. Secure with screws.
3. Slide handle assembly down into upper body until it will go no further. Align screw slots.
4. Secure with a screw.
5. Place the solution tank on the back of the unit.

Operation

Before you clean
1. Remove easily moved furniture (chairs, lamps, coffee/cocktail tables, etc.) from the room if needed.
2. Vacuum carpet thoroughly.
3. Decide where to begin. Plan to leave a path open to empty soiled water and refill cleaner.
Note: Carpeting will dry in three to four hours, depending on carpet style and air circulation in the room. A floor fan speeds drying

Fill the tank
1. Remove the solution tank by lifting it straight up, then away from the lower body.
2. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the solution tank.
3. Fill to the FORMULA line with BISSELL 2X Fiber Cleansing formula. Fill the rest of the tank with hot (not boiling) tap water to the water fill line. Replace and tighten the black cap.
4. Place solution tank on the lower body.
5. Rotate Quick Release Cord Wrap™ to release the power cord and plug into an outlet.

Tip: Always vacuum thoroughly before you deep clean. If possible, move large furniture to an area you will not be cleaning.

Pre-Treating
Pre-treat stubborn stains and highly soiled carpet in hallways and other high- traffic areas.
1. Generously spray BISSELL Tough Stain pre-cleaner evenly over the soiled area. DO NOT OVERWET CARPET
2. Wait 3-5 minutes before the deep cleaning.

Tip: Deep cleaning spots, spills and high traffic areas on a regular basis can prolong carpet life.

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

Operation

Carpet cleaning

1. With your foot, press the red power switch [located in foot of unit] ON.
2. With the foot, press the detent lever on the left side of the lower body.
3. Depress spray trigger to spray cleaning solution. Do not overwet.
4. To suction up water, repeat motion over the same area without pressing the trigger.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more dirt can be removed.
