Tips

Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on a regular basis helps prolong carpet life.
Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.
Before turning off the machine, suction up clean water to thoroughly rinse out the interior of the flex hose. Then, lift the cleaning tool and point it upwards to drain any remaining water into the dirty water/ collection tank.

Firmly holding the upper handle in place, screw 2 screws into the marked holes at an upward angle above the support handle.
At an upward angle, screw the remaining 2 screws into the marked outermost holes under the support handle.
Wrap power cord around Quick Release Cord Wrap.
Wrap flex hose around the hose wrap and secure with hose secure latch.
Align the product as image 4 shows and firmly push down the portable spot cleaner until it is secured on both sides.
Check latches on both sides to confirm it is secured.
To further check if the portable spot cleaner is secure, plug in and turn on to verify that the heat indicator light is illuminated. if the heat indicator light does not illuminate, release the pod and re-secure by pushing firmly until both sides snap into place.
Snap attachment(s) into the back of unit.
NOTE: Portable spot cleaner must be fully secure to operate in the upright mode.

Tip

Cleaning fluid
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 will void the warranty.

Operations

Special features
Innovative cleaning technology
This innovative deep cleaner offers two machines in one. The upright deep cleaner uses brushes and cleaning formula to maximize cleaning. The portable spot cleaner detaches to clean tough spots and stains and hard to reach areas.

Heatwave technology®
This deep cleaner features Heatwave Technology to help maintain the temperature of the hot tap water you put in it to provide constant heat as you clean. Water in the clean tank is heated by heat from the vacuum motor. The Heatwave Technology automatically turns on when you turn the machine on. Heatwave Technology operates in both upright and portable cleaning modes.

Scotchgard™ protector
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically wears down over time from heavy foot traffic and everyday cleaning, including deep cleaning. To help restore this important protection, only BISSELL offers deep cleaning formulas with scotchgard protector. This offers extra protection against dirt and tough stains to keep your carpets looking good longer. To maintain your carpet's scotchgard 5-year limited stain warranty, you do not need to hire a professional. by using your BISSELL deep cleaner with BISSELL 2X formulas containing scotchgard protector every 12 months, your carpet warranty from 3M remains in effect. No other home deep cleaning system can do this for you. Refer to the scotchgard Protector warranty for details.

Tip

For easy carrying, grab the carry handle on the portable spot cleaner and balance with the support handle on the back of the machine.

Before you clean

Pretreating (optional):
1. Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entryway and hallways.
2. BISSELL Stain PreTreat spray the BISSELL stain PreTreat formula onto heavy traffic areas, soiled areas or stains. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes. Clean as normal, using the deep cleaner in upright mode, following the instructions below.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR DEEP CLEANER.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions. Do not modify the 3-prong grounded plug.
Do not leave appliance when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

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.
