Bissell PROHEAT PLUS 1698 POWERSTEAMER User Manual page 10

Important - Check Upholstery Tags:
1. Check manufacturer's tag before cleaning. "W" or "WS"
on the tag means you can use your POWERSTEAMER
PROHEAT ™ PLUS. 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 colourfastness in an inconspicuous place.
3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Coloured 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:
6. Set up the machine following instructions in The Basics
section, pages 5-9.

* SmartTemp ™ heats the cleaning solution for carpet
