Cleaning Formulas

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.

NOTICE: Use only BISSELL portable machine formulas (with Boost if desired) in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon, pine oil or vinegar may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers also should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your cleaner, causing cracking or pitting.

Always use genuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and may void the warranty.

A note about BISSELL formula

One of the effective stain removing ingredients in Oxy Boost and Pet Oxy Boost is Hydrogen Peroxide. Certain people may be affected by the product when it comes into contact with their skin; it may turn the skin white and/ or cause tingling. Washing your hands after use and applying hand lotion will remove any possible white discoloration.

Filling Your Clean Water Tank

Portable Machine Formula (2X Concentrated)

1. Remove the Clean Water/Solution Tank by lifting it straight up and then away from the unit.
   
2. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the Clean Water Tank.
   
3. Add hot (140°F/60°C MAX) tap water to water fill line.
   Do not use boiling water. Do not heat water or tank in microwave.
   
4. Add formula by following the indicated “formula” fill line on your clean tank.
   
5. Twist the cap back into place and set tank back on unit.
   

Pour in more power with BISSELL Boosts

• Fill tank with water and 2X formula (Step 4 above).
• Add 1 ounce of any BISSELL Boost.

Using the Automatic Cleaning Cycles

Tips Before Using Your SpotBot®

• Dry vacuum the area first, before spot cleaning with the SpotBot.
• Some spots and spills require that you pick up the chunky debris with a rag or towel before you begin cleaning in the automatic or manual cycles.

1. Quick Clean
   This cycle has been designed for stains that are on the surface of your carpeting. This cycle will run for approximately 3 minutes.
   
2. Deep Clean
   Use on stains that have had time to set-in. These are typically the most difficult stain types to remove. This cycle runs for approximately 6 minutes.
   
3. Hose/Tool
   By selecting this option you can clean spots and stains using the hose and tool on surfaces such as upholstery, stairs, car interiors or any other hard to reach area.
   
4. Stop
   By pressing the red stop button, you will stop the cleaning cycle completely. To begin cleaning again, you will need to start over and select a cleaning cycle.
   
5. Done
   This light will illuminate and you will hear a series of “beeps” when the cleaning cycle is complete. Press the STOP button to turn the machine OFF. The machine will not beep when turned OFF.
   

WARNING: Keep spray away from face. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

Getting Started

Important! Please check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning area rugs for any specialized cleaning instructions. Not for use on silk or delicate area rugs.

1. Before using, test a small inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
2. Select “Hose/Tool” and follow manual cleaning instructions on page 10 to test.

Hands-Free Cleaning

1. Place the unit directly over the spot or stain, making sure the stain is in the center of the cleaning area.
   
2. Select which cleaning cycle (Quick Clean or Deep Clean) you would like to use. SpotBot® will begin spraying, brushing and suctioning the soiled area, in a preprogrammed cycle. Both cycles have been tested and proven to deliver superior cleaning results, taking the guesswork and effort out of cleaning for you.
   
3. When the cleaning cycle you have selected is complete, the Done light will illuminate and the machine will sound a series of “beeps”. Press the STOP button to turn the machine OFF. The machine will not beep when turned OFF
   
4. Pick up the unit and check the area that was cleaned.
   If you use BISSELL® Oxy Boost, it will continue to work for the next six to eight hours, cleaning your spots and stains all the way to the backing of the carpet.
   

NOTICE: To prevent damage to Berber carpets, avoid repeated cleaning cycles in the same area.

Manual Cleaning

Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.

1. Remove the hose from the unit by pressing the release button and pulling outward on end of hose.
   
2. Remove the Tough Stain Tool from the back of the unit, then attach it onto the grip of the hose.
   
3. Select the Hose/Tool button on the control panel to start the SpotBot®.
   
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.
   
5. If the stain is still visible, repeat step 4 as necessary.
   NOTE: In manual mode, the SpotBot® is equipped with a safety feature which will shut the unit OFF after 30 minutes.
6. When the cleaning is complete, lightly drag the suction nozzle across the stain without pressing the trigger. This will help dry the cleaned area.
   
7. Before turning OFF the SpotBot®, suction up clean water to thoroughly rinse out the inside of the Vacuum Flex Hose. Then, lift the Vacuum Flex Hose upwards to drain any remaining water into the dirty tank.
   
8. Press the STOP button to turn OFF the machine, then disconnect the cleaning tool from the Vacuum Flex Hose by pushing down on the button lock and pulling straight off (do not twist tools to remove them).
   
9. Unplug the machine and wrap the cord around the Cord Wraps. Attach the Tough Stain Brush to the base of machine. Wrap the hose around the machine and secure into the Hose Connector.
   

Tips While Cleaning

• Periodically clean out the black valve inside of the Dirty Water Tank.

Cleaning with Tools

WARNING: Keep spray away from face. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

CLEANING WITH THE 3-N-1 STAIR TOOL (select models)

Attach the 3-n-1 Stair Tool to the cleaning hose. This versatile 3-way tool sprays, scrubs and suctions up dirt and stains from the outer curves, corner and tread of a carpeted stairs. Twist the tool head to desired setting to clean. The downward facing edge is the active cleaning mode: (a) use the flat area to clean top of stairs, (b) use pointed edge to clean inside crevice, (c) use indented area to clean outer corner.

CLEANING WITH THE HYDRORINSE™ TOOL (select models)

Attach the HyrdoRinse™ tool to the cleaning hose.

Hold the hose and attachment in an upright position. Then hold down the trigger to rinse the hose for 30 seconds.

The HydroRinse tool can be stored on the right handle or on the hose in between use.

Maintenance and Care

1. Press the STOP button to turn the unit OFF. Unplug the Power Cord from the outlet. Wrap Power Cord around the cord wrap.
   
2. Empty and rinse the Dirty Water Tank after each use. To remove the tank, lift up the dirty tank latch and pull the tank out. Dump out the dirty water and rinse. Replace the tank into the unit for storage. After using the automated feature on SpotBot®, wipe the window and brushing area with a soft cloth.
   
3. If you were using your SpotBot® manually, wrap the Vacuum Flex Hose around the unit and secure the hose into the Hose Connector on the front of the unit.
   

Tips for Storing

• If a significant amount of water and solution remains in the clean tank, your unit can be stored with liquid in the clean tank. However, if you have added Oxy Boost into the clean tank, it cannot be stored in the unit and should be emptied and rinsed.
• Keep your machine clean and clean out the black valve periodically inside of the Dirty Water Tank.
• Store machine in a protected, dry area.

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

Troubleshooting

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