Before You Clean; Carpet Cleaning - Bissell POWERWASH LIFT-OFF 1190 User Manual

C-1 Before you clean
1. Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.
2. Move furniture to another area if cleaning
entire room (optional).
3. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner
thoroughly before deep cleaning.
4. Plan your cleaning route to leave an
exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in
the corner farthest from your exit.
5. Pretreating (optional):
Pretreating is recommended to improve
cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled
carpet in high traffic areas such as entryway
and hallways.
To pretreat:
a. Using BISSELL Stain Pretreat,
generously spray evenly over soiled
area. Do not overwet.
b. Wait 3-5 minutes before deep
cleaning.
c. Clean as normal using machine,
following instructions in section C-2.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL deep
cleaning formula for full size machines in your
deep cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas that
contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and
void the guarantee. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based
soil removers should not be used. These products may react
with the plastic materials used in your deep cleaner causing
cracking or pitting.

C-2 Filling formula & water tank
1. Remove tank from base of machine by
lifting up tank carry handle.
NOTE: This tank was designed with a flat
bottom so it can be easily filled.
2. Unscrew black cap and remove bottle insert.
3. Fill tank with hand hot (60°C/140°F MAX)
tap water to water fill line. Add 60 mL of
BISSELL 2X formula to tank. Do not boil or
microwave water as it can destroy the tank.
4. Replace bottle insert in tank and tighten
black cap. Replace tank on machine.
Take care not to run over loose objects or edges
of area rugs. Stalling the brush may result in
premature belt failure.
C-3 Carpet cleaning
1. Plug into a proper outlet and press power
button.
2. With foot, press gray recline pedal,
located on back of machine in between
wheels.
3. While pressing spray trigger, make one
slow forward wet pass and another one back.
Caution: Do not overwet.
4. Release spray trigger and make one slow
forward and backward pass over same area.
5. Repeat cleaning passes until solution
being suctioned up appears clean. Continue
passes without pressing spray trigger until
water is no longer being suctioned up.
Repeated passes will help aid in dry time.
NOTE: Machine may be equipped with a
circuit breaker that will automatically shut
off the brush if a large or loose object is
caught in the brush roll. If that happens,
be sure to unplug machine, remove foreign
object, and then plug machine back in to
reset circuit breaker.
ATTENTION
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.
Brush may unexpectedly restart. To reduce the
risk of injury from moving parts, unplug before
cleaning or servicing.
