WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning formulas intended for use with the deep cleaner.

WARNING: Do not plug in your cleaner until you have completely assembled it per the above instructions and are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Cleaning Formula

Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL for portable spot cleaning machines on hand so you can clean whenever it fits your schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL cleaning formulas.

ONLY BISSELL Protects from future stains with Scotchgard™ Protector. Scotchgard™ is a trademark of 3M®. *2.5 fl. oz. of 2X concentrated formula is equivalent to 5.0 fl. oz. of non-concentrated formula.

Assembly

Before you clean

1. Remove loose dirt and impediments before deep cleaning.

2. Pretreating (optional):

2a. Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entryway and hallways.

2b. BISSELL Stain Pretreat Spray any BISSELL Stain Pretreat formula onto heavy traffic areas, soiled areas or stains. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes. Clean as normal, following the instructions below.

Preparing the machine

1. Release flex hose by twisting the hose secure latch clockwise. Unwrap flex hose completely.
2. Attach the Large Stain Tool or Tough Stain Tool to the hose grip until it snaps together. Make certain the tool is securely attached.
3. Twist the Quick Release™ cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord completely and plug into grounded outlet.

Filling the formula & water tank

1. Remove tank from the back of the machine by lifting up tank carry handle. Note: This tank was designed with a flat bottom so it can be easily filled.
2. Unscrew the black cap and remove bottle insert.
3. Fill tank with hot tap water (140° F/60° C MAX) to the water fill line. Add 60 mL/2 oz of BISSELL 2X formula to the tank.
4. Replace the bottle insert in the tank and tighten the black cap. Replace the tank on the machine.

Operations

Cleaning with your spot cleaner

1. Plug unit in and turn on by pressing power button.
2. Hold cleaning tool approximately 2.5cm above soiled surface. Press spray trigger to apply cleaning solution to soiled area.
3. Using the brush on the cleaning tool, gently scrub area to be cleaned.
4. For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution while brush and suction are in contact with surface.
5. Apply downward pressure on cleaning tool and pull it toward you. The suction will remove the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
6. As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.

Cleaning with 3"/4"/6" tool

1. Attach the 3”/4”/6” Tough Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose.
2. Press the spray trigger to mist solution over and onto the soiled area.
3. Release spray trigger and gently scrub the stain.
4. To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Then use “drying strokes” (by not pressing down trigger) to remove remaining moisture. Repeat as needed.

Cleaning with stain trapper tool*

*select models only

1. Attach the Stain Trapper tool to the end of the hose.
2. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the stain. Be careful not to move the tool back and forth too quickly or soiled water will flow back into the hose.
3. To empty the tool, rotate the small tank on the bottom of the tool to unlock it.
4. Dump dirty water into a sink or toilet and rinse the tank out with clean water.
5. Replace the tank by lining up the locking teeth with their mating slots (make sure the two teeth that are closest together are pointed toward the brush). Turn the tank to lock it into place.
