CLEANING TIPS:

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

• Choose Deep Clean Mode and use BISSELL Deep Clean + Antibacterial to deliver antibacterial benefits.
• Max Clean Mode is intended for your dirtiest carpeted areas. Dry time is an estimated 8 hours. To expedite the drying process, place a fan in the room or near the carpet.
• In Express Clean Mode, the Dirty Water Tank will not get as full as when cleaning with Deep or Max Clean Mode.
• It is common to refill the Clean Water Tank and empty the Dirty Water Tank multiple times during the cleaning process. Room size and the speed at which you clean both affect how often the tank may need to be refilled and/or emptied.

Cleaning Area Rugs

Please check manufacturer's tag before cleaning area rugs for any specialized cleaning instructions. We do not recommend deep cleaning delicate, silk, wool, antique, or area rugs without a manufacturer's tag.

Regularly clean your high-traffic area rugs in Express Clean Mode:

• Check the manufacturer's tag.
• Select Express Clean Mode.
• When cleaning area rugs, place the rug on a sealed surface to test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area. Your cleaner should not be used on unsealed surfaces.
• 
  Keep the foot of the deep cleaner perpendicular to the rug's edge with each cleaning pass to prevent damage.

Cleaning with Hose and Tool

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts. The Brush Roll continues to rotate when in the upright position.
• The Brush Roll continues to turn while product is turned on and handle is in upright position. To avoid damage to carpet, rugs, furniture, and flooring, avoid tipping cleaner or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs during tool use.
• With Brush Roll on, do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to floor can result.

1. Lift the Accessory Hose Door on top of foot on the front of the machine. The door flips toward the machine to open.
   
2. Insert the hose and snap into place. Be sure the colored hose release clip is facing out, away from machine.
   
3. Attach the tool to the end of the hose. (Tools may vary by model.) Press the Power Switch to turn machine ON.
   
4. Press the Spray Trigger button to spray the soiled area, then slowly move tool back and forth over the area. Release the trigger to suck up the dirty solution. Work in small sections until the area is clean. When finished cleaning, turn the machine ON to suction up warm clean water to rinse the inside of the hose and tool. Detach the hose and tool and close the Accessory Hose Door. Let the hose and tool air dry before storing.
   

NOTE: If using the Mini Deep Reach Tool, be sure the needles of the tool are pressed down into the carpet so the spray gets into the carpet fibers.

Cleaning with the Bare Floor Tool

*The Bare Floor Tool that is compatible with the ProHeat 2X Revolution is not included. It is available for purchase by contacting our team by phone or visting us online at BISSELL.com.

1. With the machine unplugged, attach the Bare Floor Tool to the bottom of the machine by lining the tool to the edge of the nozzle. Rotate down until it clicks into place.
   Follow filling instructions and switch Cleaning Mode to Express Clean.
   
2. Plug into a properly grounded outlet and press the Power Switch.
   Clean by pressing the trigger for 1 wet pass forward, 1 wet pass back. Then release the trigger and make 1 dry pass forward, 1 dry pass back.

3. When finished, unplug the machine and remove the Bare Floor Tool by rotating the tool up to unhook from the nozzle.
   Rinse and let dry before storing. Refer to "Emptying the Dirty Water Tank". Refer to "Cleaning Machine After Use".

Emptying the Dirty Water Tank

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

1. To release Dirty Water Tank, press down on the colored tank Handle.
   
2. Tilt the tank slightly toward you. Grab the handle and tank with both hands.

   When closing the rubber tab, make sure all edges are sealed tight.
   

For final clean and rinse: Unscrew the ring at the bottom of tank.
Gently remove the Float Stack, rinse, and clean.
Once clean, return Float Stack into the tank by lining up the arrows so they point at each other. This is the only way the Float Stack will fit into the tank.
With the arrows aligned, the Float Stack should lock into place.
Return the ring and twist to lock. Water may leak if the ring is not fully tightened.

5. Clean the red filter below the Dirty Water Tank by wiping off any remaining dirt or debris.
   
6. To return the Dirty Water Tank: Angle the tank and insert bottom first. Then tilt the tank toward the machine and push the top in until it clicks into place.

NOTE: Be sure to clean the Brush Rolls and Nozzle before storing your machine. Follow these steps if your Nozzle becomes clogged with hair or debris.

NOTICE
To reduce the risk of a leaking condition, do not store unit where freezing may occur. Damage to internal components may result.

Cleaning the Nozzle

1. If pet hair or debris become clogged in the nozzle, it can be cleaned out of the nozzle with the Nozzle Clean Out Tool.
   Turn OFF and unplug the machine.
   
2. Remove the nozzle from the foot: flip the Accessory Hose Door open and lift up on the nozzle and Accessory Hose Door.
   
3. Hold the nozzle and insert the Nozzle Clean Out Tool into the thin slot at the front of the nozzle where it touches the floor. Clean until free of pet hair or debris.
   
4. Return the nozzle back to the foot of the machine. Line up the three hooks on the nozzle to the bottom of the foot (see arrows for location).
   Rotate the nozzle up and click into place. Close the Accessory Hose Door.
   

Cleaning the Brush Rolls

1. Turn OFF and unplug the machine.
   
2. Lay the machine down on its back or side.
   
3. Use the comb to brush out the debris or hair from the Brush Rolls.
   

Replacing Belts or Brush Rolls

What you will need: 1 Phillips-head screwdriver & 1 flat-head screwdriver

1. Unplug the machine. Remove both tanks from the machine. Press the recline pedal and lay the machine on its back. Use a flat-head screwdriver to help lift and remove the Belt Access Door.
   
2. Here you should see one (1) belt. This is the Flat Pump Belt. If the Flat Pump Belt is broken, gently remove it from the machine. We will replace this belt in Step 5.
   
3. Turn the machine on its side. The Power Switch should be facing up. Remove the 3 screws on the Belt/Brush Access Plate using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Remove the Access Plate to expose the Brush Cover and Cogged Large Pump Belt.
   
4. Remove the Brush Cover by lifting straight up. Remove the Cogged Large Pump Belt. The Brush Rolls can be replaced or cleaned at this time, if needed.
   
5. Now, if the Flat Pump Belt was broken, place a new Flat Pump Belt around the red area of the large pulley. Then use your thumb to stretch it toward the back of the machine and transfer it onto the metal axle.
   
6. Spin either brush. If they both spin, continue to Step 7.
   If only one spins, the opposite belt is broken and you must remove both brushes and replace the Small Cogged Brush Belt.
   Place the new belt around both brush gears and slide them onto the thin metal axles.
   
7. To replace the Cogged Large Pump Belt, make sure your deep cleaner is completely reclined. Begin by wrapping the Cogged Large Pump Belt around the small metal-toothed pulley. While wrapped around the pulley, stretch and wrap around the nearest brush gear.
   
8. Return the Brush Cover. Make sure that the brushes are aligned and the cover is secure.
   
9. Return the Belt/Brush Access Plate to the end of the Brush Rolls by securing with the 3 screws.
   
10. Lastly, slide the Belt Access Door back into place. You should hear it "click" into place.
