Cleaning Formulas
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re 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 eff ective stain removing ingredients in Oxy Boost and Pet Oxy Boost is Hydrogen Peroxide. Certain people may be aff ected 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.

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.
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.
- Before using, test a small inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
- Select “Hose/Tool” and follow manual cleaning instructions on page 10 to test.
Hands-Free Cleaning
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.
NOTE: In manual mode, the SpotBot® is equipped with a safety feature which will shut the unit OFF after 30 minutes.
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
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.
