Special Features of Your BISSELL ProHeat ™ ClearView ®

The BISSELL SmartClean ® System
The ProHeat ClearView is a home cleaning system that automatically mixes hot tap water with the BISSELL advanced cleaning formula and heats the solution as it is applied to the carpet. The combination of heated cleaning solution, powered brush and suction provide a safe & effective method of cleaning.

SmartTemp ®

Temperature control automatically heats the cleaning solution as it is being applied to the carpet (*) to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness.

Bissell 1699, 8905 Series ProHeat ClearView -
SmartTemp

  1. The Power Switch controls power to the machine; both switches must be ON for SmartTemp to work.
  2. The SmartTemp Switch is found on the back of the handle next to the Power Switch. You may choose not to use the
    SmartTemp feature if you are cleaning delicate wool or oriental rugs.
    *SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and bare floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools.
  3. The SmartTemp Ready Light indicates when the heater is ON. The heater should be turned on two minutes before cleaning, to become fully warmed up and ready to clean. The Smart Temp Ready Light is found on the front of the handle where it is easy to see while you clean
  4. SmartTemp increases the water temperature 25° and will not allow it to exceed 180°.
SmartMix ®

Provides custom control for each cleaning job.

  3. Replace the valve cap turning until snug.

  4. Replace SmartMix concentrate bottle.
    Note : If bottle leaks, check for proper positioning of o-ring and straw.

  5. Choose the SmartMix setting that fits the cleaning job.
    Water Rinse – use for gentle cleaning or for the final rinse after cleaning.
    Normal – automatically provides the best mix of water and concentrate for most cleaning jobs.
    High Traffic – automatically mixes the right amount of water and concentrate to dissolve tough grime and heavy soil. Note : Residual cleaning materials left in carpet from other products may cause excessive foaming when picked up. If foam is overflowing tank, move SmartMix dial to “Water Only” position until the condition stops.
    Note : Both the SmartMix Bottle 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 temporarily lose its prime and not apply either cleaning solution or water only.
    Important : If you are using the WATER RINSE setting, fill the Smart Mix bottle with water also!

Tip : Deep Cleaning stairs and high traffic areas on a regular basis can prolong carpet life.

WARNING :
To reduce the risk of injury, be extra careful when cleaning stairs. Make sure machine is secure and level.

DirtLifter ® PowerBrush

The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch ON. When the machine handle is in the fully upright position, CarpetSaver automatically raises the brush off the carpet.

WARNING :
To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formula in your ProHeat ClearView. Use of cleaning formulas which 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 ProHeat ClearView, causing cracking or pitting.

Tank-in-Tank

Our Tank-in-Tank system is designed with a Bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the Bladder will empty. Dirty water collects in the tank outside the Bladder.

Bissell 1699, 8905 Series ProHeat ClearView - Before You Clean
Carpets

Machine Preparation
  1. Set up the machine following instructions in The Features section, pages 6-11.
  2. Use a BISSELL Advanced Cleaning Formula in the SmartMix tank.When cleaning carpets, stairs or upholstery, use clean water in the SmartMix Tank for gentle cleaning or rinsing.
  3. Choose the SmartMix setting to match the cleaning job.
  4. Set the ReadyTools switch to either Tools/PreTreat or Floor Cleaning.
PreTreating

Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entryways and hallways:

  1. Set the SmartMix dial to High Traffic.
  2. Set ReadyTools dial to PreTreat.
  3. Plug into a proper outlet and turn on both the Power and Smart Temp Switches.
  4. While pressing the trigger slowly make several passes over the area to be cleaned. Caution Do not overwet.
  5. Turn the machine Power Switch OFF and let the BISSELL Advanced Cleaning Formula dissolve the tough soil for 1-2 minutes before continuing.

Tip :
Try pretreating stairs or entry ways with BISSELL Tough Stain PreCleaner. Then deep clean with the SmartMix ® dial set on High Traffic.

Carpet Cleaning

ATTENTION BERBER CARPET OWNERS :
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 13.

  1. Plug into a proper outlet and turn the Power and the SmartTemp switches ON. Wait two minutes for the heater to warm up before beginning to clean.

  2. While pressing the trigger, make one slow forward wet pass and another one back. Let the SmartTemp heated formula and DirtLifter Powerbrush do the work for you.Caution: Do not overwet.
    Note : Take care not to run over loose objects or edges of area rugs. Stalling brush may result in premature belt failure.

  3. Release the trigger and make one slow forward and back pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water.

  4. Repeat cleaning passes until solution being pulled up appears clean.

  5. Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being pulled up.
    Note : Both the SmartMix 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 either cleaning solution or water only.

  6. After cleaning, you may want to turn the SmartMix dial to Water Only to give your carpeting a final rinse.This will ensure thorough removal of embedded dirt loosened by the Advanced Deep Cleaning Formula. Advanced Deep Cleaning Formulas contains an anti-resoiling agent that helps your carpets repel dirt and keeps them looking good longer.

  7. When the cleaning job is complete refer to the Maintenance section for machine cleanup and storage instructions on page 18

Stain Removal

Do Not Delay! Failure to attend to an accident soon after it occurs may cause it to set and become permanent.
Before treating any stain, follow these pre-treatment steps:

  1. Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels. White materials are recommended because certain dyes may bleed and make the stain worse.

  2. Gently scrape up 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.

  3. If the area has dried, remove the remaining semi-solids and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.

  4. Be sure to pre-test any spot removal solutions or chemicals on an inconspicuous area first. This is extremely important; different dyes and materials could be damaged or discolored by a cleaning solution. If such a change should occur, try a different solution or call a professional. If cleaning on Berber Carpet gently run your machine over a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in soiled area.
    Use one of the following methods to Preclean the stain:

  5. Using BISSELL Tough Stain Precleaner ™ , generously spray the area with the formula. Gently work the solution with a clean cloth or towel into the area using light strokes from the edges of the stain to the center. When your cloth reaches the center of the stain, gently pinch it in an upward motion. Make sure to turn and change your cloth frequently and do not rub the stain. You may repeat this process several times.
    or
    Use your BISSELL deep cleaner as a Precleaner. With one of the tools attached to hose, set the Ready Tools dial to Pretreat and the Smart Mix dial to the High Traffic setting. Spray the area with solution and allow the Deep Cleaning formula to penetrate for 3-5 minutes.

  6. Once the Precleaning is complete, use the attached tool to gently scrub the stain with back and forth strokes.

  7. Allow to dry. Some difficult stains may require a second treatment.

How to Clean Upholstery and Small Areas

Important – Check Upholstery Tags:
  1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your ProHeat ClearView. If the tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
  2. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
  3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.
  4. Plan activities to give upholstery time to dry.
  5. 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 and tufts.
Machine Preparation
  1. Set up the machine following instructions in the Features section, pages 6-11.
  2. Use BISSELL Advanced Cleaning Formulas in SmartMix tank.
  3. Set the ReadyTools dial to Tools or PreTreat.
  • SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and bare floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools. 4. Set SmartMix Dial to Normal.

Tip : Deep cleaning carpeting and upholstery with BISSELL Multi-Allergen Removal Formula™ with Scotchgard™ protection regularly can reduce dust and allergens in your home.

Cleaning Technique

  2. Plug into a proper outlet and turn Power Switch ON.

  3. While pressing the trigger, slowly move the spraying tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction soiled water.
