Operations

Special features
your Bissell ProHeat 2X clean shot Professional deep cleaner is a home cleaning system that uses the power of heat, brushes, and cleaning formula to get the deep-down dirt for a maximum clean. not only does it come with a lot of unique features, but it has also been designed with you, the customer, in mind.
Built-in-heater feature
Bissell ProHeat 2X models all feature a patented built-in heater that will heat the 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 190 degrees. the heater switch on the front of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning delicate wool or oriental rugs.

Custom Clean®
the custom clean feature automatically mixes hot tap water with the Bissell formula. simply choose one of the 4 settings (heavy traffic, normal clean, light clean, or water rinse) and the ProHeat 2X clean shot Professional will adjust the right amount of cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to fit your cleaning need.
CleanShot®
the clean shot feature gives you the ability to tackle tough stains with the push of a button. the cleaning solution is sprayed in a concentrated stream, penetrating the stain and allowing for better cleaning focus. simply spray and suction and the stain is gone! the clean shot is especially effective for spots and stains that would otherwise take a lot of deep cleaning cycles to remove. it allows the cleaning formula and machine to do the work for you.

Dry Aire™
the dry air system applies heated air directly to the carpet to help dry as you clean. the feature runs while your machine is powered.
Flow indicator
the flow indicator is located on the rear cover of your unit. When the unit runs out of water or solution the flow indicator will instantly let you know.
2-in-1 water tank
our 2-in-1 water tank full capacity 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 only carry one tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.
ReadyTools™ dial
this provides either floor cleaning or above floor cleaning with the turn of a knob. choose “tools” setting for stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas and “flooR cleaning” for carpets area rugs, and bare floors.
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 no longer are required to hire a professional. by using your Bissell ProHeat 2X machine 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.

Before you clean
1. Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
2. Pick up all loose dirt, debris, and pet hair before the deep cleaning. if you are cleaning just a small area of carpeting or less than a whole room, the ProHeat 2X may be used to vacuum the area before the deep cleaning. be sure to keep the red filter screen in the 2-in1 tank lid free of lint so that suction is maintained (see step 4 on page 17). When you are done vacuuming, clear the red filter screen of any lint and rinse both the dirty water and the clean solution tank (inside the flexible bladder) with warm water before starting the deep cleaning process.
3. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. it is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
4. Pretreating (optional) Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpets in high traffic areas such as entryways and hallways.
Option A: BISSELL Tough Stain PreTreat
A. spray the Bissell tough stain Pre-treat formula onto heavy traffic areas, soiled areas, or stains.
B. allow penetrating for at least 3 minutes.
C. clean as normal, using the Bissell ProHeat 2X machine on the high traffic setting, following the instructions below.
Option B: CleanShot
follows instructions on page 12.

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 stain Removal instructions on page 15.

   Note: Your machine is equipped with a circuit breaker that will automatically shut off the brush if a large or loose object is caught in the brush roll. 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. 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 the solution being pulled up appears clean. continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being pulled up.

8. Remove the tank from the base of the machine by lifting it up the tank carry handle. carry like a bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will dispose of the dirty water.
   8a. unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by lifting up on the tank latch located on the back of the tank.
   8b. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up on the handle. Note how the lip on the top tank separates from the groove in the bottom tank. This placement is important when putting the tank back together.
   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 leaner.
   Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL 2X formula on hand so you can clean whenever it fits your schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas. Non- BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and void the warranty.
   8c. lift the bottom portion of the tank; pour out dirty water in the sink through the triangular-shaped opening in the corner of the tank.
   Note: Check the red lint screen on the top of the tank and clean if necessary. You may notice hair & debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the cleaning action. This debris should be picked up and thrown away.
   8d. fill the heavy-duty bladder with clean hot tap water, following instructions 1c through 1e on page 10.
   Note: Remember to secure the tank latch in the back and test to make sure it is secure before picking up the tank. Always check the level of cleaning formula in the formula tank at the same time, and refill as needed.

9. Water rinse (optional). Rinsing is an optional step that can be done during the cleaning process or after the carpeted area has been completed. switch to the water rinse setting, on the custom clean dial, and follow the same path as you did for cleaning. take care to do a forward (wet)  stroke by depressing the trigger, and a  backward (wet) stroke, followed by a forward and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the trigger. continue this until the water you see coming up from the nozzle is clear. (see page 17.)

10. CleanShot. the clean shot is an optional feature that can be used to fight tough stains. it can be used as either a tough stain pre-treat or can be used during the deep cleaning process itself. to use clean hot either as a pre-treat or during deep cleaning, follow the instructions below.

Cleaning with attachments
Your ProHeat 2X machine comes equipped with a hose and at least one attachment for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.

1. Important! if using to clean upholstery, check upholstery tags.
   A. check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “Ws” on the tag means you can use your ProHeat 2X. 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 velvet or silk. if the manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
   B. check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
   C. if possible, check upholstery stuffing. colored stuffing may bleed through the 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.
