SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
This model is for household use only. Commercial use of this unit voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

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 plugin the illustration. 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.

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.

Tips Before Carpet Cleaning
  • If cleaning an entire room, consider moving your furniture to another area.
  • Use a dry vacuum cleaner over area before using your deep cleaner.
  • Pre-treat stains with BISSELL PreTreat to improve performance on coffee stains and ground-in dirt.

Assembly

WARNING
Do not plug in your deep cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions  and operating procedures

 SmartMix®
The SmartMix® feature automatically mixes hot tap water with the BISSELL Advanced cleaning formula. Choose one of the 3 settings and the SmartMix® will adjust the right amount of cleaning formula to mix with the hot water to fit your cleaning need.

  2-in-1 Tank ™

Our 2-in-1 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 will be pulled out of your carpets and 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 filling and emptying.

** ReadyTools Dial
This dial switches your machine between floor cleaning and hose/tool cleaning.
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 formula tank or bladder needs to be refilled, or when the trigger is released.

Before You Clean

Maximize Results with your ProHeat Pet Deep Cleaner…

  • 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.
  • Pretreat

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

  1. Spray the BISSELL Stain PreTreat formula onto heavy traffic areas,     soiled areas, or stains.
  2. Allow penetrating for at least 3 minutes.
  3. Use the ProHeat Pet machine on the high traffic setting.

ATTENTION : To prevent damage to Berber carpets, avoid repeated strokes in the same area.

Preparing Your Machine

Fill the 2-in-1 Tank with Water

WARNING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning formulas intended for use with the deep cleaner.

NOTE : Heatwave Technology™ helps maintain the temperature of the water in your 2-in-1 tank while you’re cleaning.

Fill the Formula Tank with Formula

Choose the SmartMix Setting

Simply Choose one of 3 settings:

Heavy Traffic                 Normal                     Water Rinse

Each setting is designed to adjust proper amounts of water and cleaning formula for your carpet.

To Remove Ground-In Dirt:
Renew your carpet!
Pretreat ground-in dirt with a BISSELLPretreat Spray. Choose BISSELL Professional Deep Cleaning formula and pair with a BISSELL Boost to enhance your
cleaning.

For Pet Stains & Odors:
Erase pesky stains & remove odors!

Pretreat pesky pet stains with BISSELL Pretreat spray before using your deep cleaner. Choose a BISSELL pet formula for your deep cleaner and clean as directed.

ATTENTION Do not over wet carpet. Be careful not to run over loose objects or edges of area rugs. Stalling the brush may result in premature belt failure.

Operations: Floor Cleaning

NOTE: Both the SmartMix formula tank and the 2-in-1 bladder need to have liquid in them in order for the machine to spray. If one of the tanks are empty, the machine will not spray.
-Caution: Do not overwet the carpet. Also take care not to run over loose objects, edges of area rugs, or the cord.
-Stalling the brush may result in premature belt failure.

Operations: Cleaning with Hose & Attachments

NOTE : Your deep cleaner comes with a hose and at least one tool to attach for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.

IMPORTANT : Check upholstery tags for any special care instructions. If possible, check for colored stuffing as it is possible the color could bleed through.  Check for colorfastness in a hidden area – maybe the back or underside of the furniture.

Press the trigger to spray solution onto the area you are cleaning. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction up the soiled area. Work in small sections. Spray with only warm water to rinse the cleaned area (optional).

Caution: Do not overwet the upholstery.
When finished, rinse the hose and tool by suctioning warm water from a bowl. Allow the hose and tool to dry before storing the machine.

WARNING

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

Rinsing Your Carpet (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.
Choose the Water Rinse setting on the SmartMix dial, Be sure to rinse out your tank if Boost was added in with your water. Use the Water Rinse setting with water only. Follow the same path as you did for cleaning, taking care to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the trigger, 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.

Operations: Empty the 2-in-1 Tank

NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the cleaning action (especially with new carpet that may never have been deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked up and thrown away.

To Continue Cleaning…

  1. Fill the 2-in-1 Tank again, following the instructions on pages 8 and 9.
  2. Make sure the tank lid is secure and return the tank to the machine. Follow cleaning instructions on pages 10 and 11 to continue cleaning.  *Don’t forget to check the formula tank and refill as needed!  

To Continue Cleaning

Rinse (optional) Choose the Water Rinse setting on the SmartMix dial and follow rinse instructions at the top of this page.
