SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
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 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.

in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may
damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners
or solvent-based soil removers also should not be used. These products may
react with the plastic materials used in your cleaner, causing cracking or
pitting.
Assembly
Assembling your Little Green is a simple process. The only thing you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips-head screwdriver.
-
Slide the back plate of the flex hose clip into the opening on the front of the unit. You will hear a “snap” when it is locked in place.
-
Take the flex hose storage bracket and slide the lower plate into the opening on the back of unit. Make sure the screw holes line up.
-
Insert screw and tighten with a screwdriver.
-
Wrap the flex hose around unit and place hose grip into bracket. Turn bracket latchclockwise to lock in place.
WARNING: Do not plug in your portable deep cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
Operations
Getting ready
- To fill the clean water/solution tank.
a. Remove the tank by lifting it straight up and then away from the unit.
b. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the clean/solution tank.
c. Follow the fill lines on your clean tank to add the correct amount of hot tap water (140°F/60°C MAX), portable machine formula, and 1oz of BISSELL Boost if preferred. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE WATER.
d. Replace the clean/solution tank by lining up the vertical guides on the left side of the unit with the indentations on the clean/solution tank and gently sliding it down into position.
WARNING: Keep spray away from face. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
Pre-treating
Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or
highly-soiled areas.
Here’s how to do it:
- Hold the cleaning tool just above the surface of the carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the trigger to release a spray of cleaning solution directly onto the soiled area.
- Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.
Cleaning with the Tough Stain Tool
- Attach the 3” Tough Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose.
- Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it on.
- Hold the tool 1 inch above soiled surface.
- Press the spray trigger to mist solution over and onto the soiled area.
- Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain.
- To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Watch as powerful suction removes the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
- As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.
Note: When using BISSELL Oxy Boost formula, cleaning continues for 6-8 hours after application.
Important: Check the manufacturer’s tag before cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your Little Green. If tag is coded with an “S” (with diagonal strike-through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
Cleaning with the Deep Stain Tool (select models)
- Attach the Deep Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose.
- Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it on.
- Set the tool directly on top of the carpet before pulling the spray trigger to inject formula deep into your carpet fibers. Always keep the Deep Stain Tool in direct contact with carpeting to avoid over-spraying.
- Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain.
- To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Watch as powerful suction removes the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
- As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.
Note: When using BISSELL Oxy Boost formula, cleaning continues for 6-8 hours
after application.
Tips:
- Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on a regular basis helps prolong carpet life.
- Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.
- If a significant amount of water and solution remains in the clean tank, your unit can be stored Tips with liquid in the clean tank.
Maintenance & Care
After Cleaning
-
Turn power switch to OFF position.
-
Unplug power cord from outlet.
-
Empty and rinse the dirty/collection tank after each use, OR when dirty water reaches the indicated maximum fill line. To remove the tank, lift up the dirty/collection ank retainer lever and remove the tank from the unit.
-
Disconnect the cleaning tool from the spray trigger by pushing down on button lock and pulling straight off (DO NOT twist tools to remove them).

FAQS
could you use this to clean car upholstery seats?
Yes you could, yelyah – this cleaner is designed for carpet and upholstery!
Has anyone ever had black mold in the dirty tank, if so how can I remove it?
Bleach will kill the mold and any spores. But just soak the plastic, don’t run it through the machine because bleach will corrode all the metal parts.
How do I know when to replace the filter?
When the filter is dirty, the suction power of your Little Green Machine will decrease. In order to maintain optimal cleaning performance, we recommend that you clean or replace your filter after each use.
How do I clean my Little Green Machine?
Your Little Green Machine is designed to be cleaned with water. The tank and all parts can be cleaned with soap and water. For tough stains, use a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
What is the difference between the Bissell 1400 Series Little Green Machine and the Bissell Little Green Deep Cleaning Machine?
Both machines are designed for deep cleaning carpets and hard floors. The Bissell 1400 Series Little Green Machine is a portable model that is ideal for smaller areas while the Bissell Little Green Deep Cleaning Machine is designed for larger areas.
What type of cleaning solution should I use in my Little Green Machine?
Use only BISSELL cleaning products intended for use in this machine to prevent internal component damage. See the Cleaning fluid section of this guide.
Why did the price go up?
Inflation…
Is there a floor brush attachment?
No, it is really for smaller jobs. I have many 8×10 and 9×12 area rugs and it’s great for them
Is it out of stock or you’re just not selling it anymore?
Not selling anymore
Does this help remove odors?
Yes, it is basically a small carpet and upholstery cleaner, if the odor is pet related and has soaked into the carpet pad it may not remove the odor completely.
How deep does it penetrate say on a couch cushion like 2 inches?
This would work fantastic on couch cushions. Has great suction
can this be use in a 240 Volt power outlet?
No it cannot, Agk – this machine is designed for 110v only.
Does the plastic on the top removable?
The two see-through areas on the ends are removable, as they hold the clean and dirty water. The green handle on top isn’t removable.
Is this Delivered by ups or usps?
Ups
can you use this on a couch?
Yes you can, Mary! This machine is designed for upholstery and carpet.
What’s the difference between the little green and little green pet? just the solution?
Tools and formulas will vary by model.
So do you have to buy a car vaccuum cleaner too?
NO. The Green machine can be used in the car but you will need a garage 110V outlet to run it.
