Assembly

Do not plug in your deep cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
The only tool you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips screwdriver.

Slide upper body onto lower body.
Secure with screws.
Slide upper Handle Post into the body by aligning the pin and sliding the Post down into place.
Be sure to secure upper handle before lifting. Rotate lock collar to secure.
Place Clean Water Tank on back of unit. The tank will make a "CLICK" noise when seated properly.
Wrap power cord.

Tips Before Carpet Cleaning

If cleaning an entire room, consider moving your furniture to another area.
Use a dry vacuum cleaner over area before using your deep cleaner.
Remove any large, solid debris before wet cleaning.
Pre-treat stains with BISSELL PreTreat to improve performance on coffee stains and ground-in dirt.

Fill Clean Water Tank

Remove the clean water tank lifting straight up and away from lower body.
Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the clean water tank.
Fill with warm tap water to the WATER line. Fill the rest of the tank with BISSELL Formula to the FORMULA line.
Replace and tighten the cap, then return the clean water tank to lower body. The tank will make a "CLICK" noise when seated properly.

A few notes about filling the clean water tank:

Fill with hot (140°F/60°C MAX) tap water and add the appropriate BISSELL solution. DO NOT USE BOILING WATER. DO NOT HEAT WATER OR TANK IN MICROWAVE.

NOTICE: Do not over wet carpet. Be careful not to run over loose objects or edges of area rugs. Stalling the brush may result in premature belt failure.
NOTE: Do not substitute BISSELL 2X Formula cleaning solution with other household cleaning products.

Pour in more power with BISSELL Boosts

Fill tank with water and 2X formula (Step 3 above).
Add 1 ounce of any BISSELL Boost per 1/2 gallon of water.
The 2089 machine series have 1/2 gallon clean water tanks.

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.
Use indoors only.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
Do not use for any purpose other than described in this User's Guide. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an authorized service center.

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.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before plugging or unplugging appliance.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.

Do not use appliance in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Use only BISSELL cleaning products intended for use with this appliance to prevent internal component damage. See the Cleaning Fluid section of this guide.
Do not immerse. Use only on surfaces moistened by the cleaning process.
Keep appliance on a level surface.
Do not carry the appliance while in use.

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.
