SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

This model is for household use only. Commercial use of this unit voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

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.

WARNING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re and electric shock when cleaning a hard fl oor, the BISSELL bare fl oor tool (2035641) must be used and is only to be used with BISSELL Hard Floor Solutions formula intended for use with this appliance. To reduce the risk of electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning formulas intended for use with the deep cleaner.

Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL 2X* 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 may void the warranty.

ONLY BISSELL Protects from future stains with Scotchgard™ Protector.
Scotchgard™ is a trademark of 3M®. *2.5 fl. oz. of 2X concentrated formula is equivalent to 5.0 fl. oz. of non-concentrated formula.

Assembly

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

Your deep cleaner comes in four easy-to-assemble components and an accessory bag.

– Upper Handle
– Base
– Upper Hose Wrap
– Lower Hose Wrap

The only tool you will need to assemble your deep cleaner is a Phillips screwdriver.

Slide handle assembly onto lower body and secure with two long screws.

Attach upper hose rack to back of upper handle by pushing into open slots and sliding down until it snaps into place.

Attach lower hose rack by sliding it in place on the lower body assembly and securing it with 2 short screws.

Special Features

1. 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 fi lling and emptying.
2. Measuring Cup
Your deep cleaner is equipped with a measuring cup for adding the proper amount of formula to the 2-in-1 tank. For convenience, the measuring cup is built into the lid.

3. Removable Nozzle
Cleaning your machine after you’re done has never been easier! This nozzle pops off for rinsing in the sink.
Before You Clean

Maximize Results with your ProHeat 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 eff ectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffi c areas such as entryways and hallways.
  a. Spray the BISSELL Stain PreTreat formula onto heavy traffi c areas, soiled areas, or stains.
  b. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes.
  c. Use the ProHeat machine on the high traffi c setting.

Before You Clean: Prepare Your Machine

Fill the 2-in-1 Tank with Water

1. Press the recline pedal to access the 2-in-1 tank. Remove the tank from the base of the machine by lifting the tank carry handle.

2. Carry the tank like a bucket to the sink. Rotate the carry han- dle forward to unlatch the lid. Remove the lid and turn it over to locate the measuring cup.
   

3. Fill with BISSELL 2X formula to the indicated fill line on the built in measuring cup and pour it into the bladder.

4. Fill the bladder with clean hot tap water (140F/60C MAX). *Do not boil or microwave the water as it can destroy the bladder. **If you are using BISSELL Boost formulas, measure out the formula by the bottle’s instructions and add it to the bladder at this time.

5. Return the tank lid by matching it to the tank edges. The tank handle must be in the forward position in order to set the lid in place. Rotate the handle to secure the latch.
   Note: Remember to secure the lid before picking up the tank.

6. Seat the tank firmly back into the machine base. Rotate the tank handle back into latched position.

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

Operations: Carpet Cleaning

TIP: Thorough vacuuming before deep cleaning will prevent early clogging in the nozzle and lint trap.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet.

Set the ReadyTools Dial to “FLOOR CLEANING”.

Turn the power on by pressing the red Power Switch on the back of the machine with your foot.

Recline the machine by pressing the gray release switch with your foot.
NOTE : Do not overwet the carpet. Also take care not to run over loose objects, edges of area rugs, or the power cord.
NOTE : Stalling the brush by running over loose objects, edges of area rugs, or the power cord may cause the belts to snap and break.

While pressing the trigger, make one slow pass forward and back to put water and formula down.
Release the trigger and make one slow pass forward and back over the same area to pick up the water and formula that was just put down.
Repeat until the liquid coming up appears clean.
Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being suctioned up.

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

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

Operations: Upholstery & Spot Cleaning

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 – like the back or underside of the furniture.

Vacuum thoroughly to pick up dirt and debris.
Use a vacuum with a hose and tool for fabric folds and stair crevices.

Fill the tank according to page 8 to prepare your machine.

Set the Ready Tools Dial to the Tools setting. This will allow the machine to divert the spray and suction to the hose.

Attach the cleaning tool to the end of the hose.

Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet and press the Power Switch Pedal to turn the machine ON.

Be cautious: the brush roll on the foot of the machine will spin while using the hose. Ensure the machine is not reclined or tilted while using the hose.

Press the trigger on the hose to spray solution on to 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. Optional: Spray and suction with only warm water to rinse the cleaned area.

NOTE: It is recommended that you suction warm water from the tap to rinse out the hose. Before wrapping the hose back on the machine, extend the hose to ensure water is out of the hose. Allow the hose and tool time to dry before storing.

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

Operations: Empty the 2-in-1 Tank

1. Press the Power Switch Pedal with your foot to turn the machine OFF.
2. Remove the 2-in-1 Tank by lifting up with the tank’s Carry Handle.
3. Carry the tank like a bucket to where you’ll dispose of the collection water.
4. Rotate the carry handle to unlatch the lid and empty the tank.

After each use, remove the tank lid and rinse the lint screen.

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

Once your cleaning is complete, make sure the water tank is emptied and rinsed out. Put the unit away in a closet or basement for the next use.
NOTE: Store cleaner in a protected, dry area. Since this product uses water, it must not be stored where there is a danger of freezing. Freezing will damage internal components and void the warranty.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury, turn power OFF and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting.

Maintenance: Clean the Removable Nozzle

Turn the machine OFF and unplug. Grasp the handle at the top of the nozzle and pull forward. The nozzle will come off to rinse with water in the sink. The Nozzle Clean Out Tool may be handy at this time as well.

Return the nozzle by slightly raising the foot of the machine and lining up hooks of the nozzle. Attach and “click” into place.

Maintenance: Machine Care

A few simple steps can assure your machine is well maintained after your cleaning is complete.

Turn power OFF and unplug the machine. Always wrap the power cord and make sure the hose is securely wrapped.

The final empty of the 2-in-1 tank should always get an extra rinse-out. Rinse under and around the bladder as well as the lint screen.

Maintenance: Belt Replacement

Brush Belt
With machine unplugged insert a Flat Head Screwdriver to remove the belt access door.(There is a slot at the end of the door.) Pull the Belt Access Door up and out.

Turn the machine to lay on its side so the belt access area is facing upward. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws on the arms that hold the brush in place. If the Brush Belt is broken, gently remove the belt. To re-install a new belt, first place the belt around the pulley and then stretch it to wrap around the brush gear.

Pump Belt
Pictured here is the Pump Belt. If broken, gently remove the belt. To re- install a new Pump Belt, loop one end of the new belt around the red pump pulley and then stretch it to the silver motor shaft.

To return the Belt Access Door, line it up with the slots in the machine. The door will slide into place and snap shut.
