Thermal Protector

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your machine to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the main motor will stop operating. If this happens, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn machine OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Let the motor cool for approximately 30 minutes. The thermal protector will automatically reset,
and cleaning may continue once plugged back in.
Note: If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your machine
may need servicing. Call BISSELL® Consumer Care or visit the website.

line with water or foam.
From hose/tool: Water remains

Remedies
Refill tank.
Fully seat tank until it clicks into place.
Clean spray tip.
Empty dirty tank.
Remove any debris from the red filter.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
dirty tank from fully being seated in its recess.
Ensure the lid is fully seated in the dirty tank
and the handle fully locks the lid into place.
Remove any clogs.
Do not allow machine to collect liquid past
the "max" line. Ensure only Bissell portable
deep cleaner formulas are used, at the correct
concentrations, to prevent excessive foaming.
Run machine for several seconds after stopping
suction to ensure water is sucked into dirty tank.
Refill tank.
Wait 30 seconds for "steam ready" indicator
light to turn on.
This is normal; a small amount of water
condensate forms in the steam lines when
steam is not used. Continue to hold the trigger
and steam will come out within 5-10 seconds.
Please visit an authorized service center.
