WARNING

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.

Cleaning Formula

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

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

NOTICE: Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil 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.

Assembly

WARNING: Do not plug in your cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures

1. Slide the flex hose clip into the opening on the front of the machine. You will hear a “snap” when it is locked into place.
2. Attach the cord wrap by snapping it into place on the collection tank side of the machine.
3. Snap the hose grip bracket into the back of the machine on the clean tank side.
4. Snap the second tool storage (select models) into the back between the cord wrap and hose grip bracket.
5. Then wrap the flex hose around the unit and snap the hose grip into the bracket.
6. Wrap the power cord around the cord wrap.

Filling the Solution Tank Remove

1. Remove the tank by lifting it straight up and away from the unit.
2. Pull the black tab to reveal the tank opening. The plug rotates out of the way for easy filling.
3. Add water to the indicated fill line on the solution tank.
4. Add BISSELL formula to the indicated fill line on the solution tank.NOTE: Follow the fill lines on your clean tank to add the correct amount of hot tap water (140 degrees F/ 60 degrees C) MAX and portable machine formula. Note: There are different directions on the tank for small and large messes. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE WATER.
5. Replace the plug by rotating it into place and pressing gently onto the tank.
6. Replace the tank by lining the tank bottom with indentations on the machine. Press down firmly on the tank to secure in position.

Pre-Treating

IMPORTANT: Check the manufacturer’s tag before cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your cleaner. If the tag is coded with an “S” (with diagonal strike-through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. If the manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

WHY PRETREAT?
Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or highly soiled areas.

1. Check the manufacturer’s tag before cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your machine.
2. Twist the quick-release cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord quickly. Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it ON.
3. Release the flex hose from the hose grip bracket. Unwrap the flex hose completely from around the unit.
4. Select the desired tool for spot cleaning. Insert the tool on the end of the hose until it clicks into place.
5. Hold the 3” tough stain tool just above the carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the trigger to mist the solution over the soiled area.
6. Let the cleaning solution sit for 5 minutes before cleaning.

Cleaning with Tools

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

CLEANING WITH THE 3″ TOUGH STAIN TOOL

Attach the 3” tough stain tool to the handheld cleaning hose. Press the spray trigger to mist solution over and onto the soiled area. Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain. 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 the trigger) to remove remaining moisture. Repeat as needed.

CLEANING WITH THE HYDRORINSE™ TOOL

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 between uses.

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

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

CLEANING WITH THE DEEP STAIN/REACH TOOL (optional accessory available for purchase)

Attach the deep stain/reach tool to the cleaning hose. Set the tool directly on top of the carpet before pulling the spray trigger to inject formula deep into the carpet fibres. Always keep the tool in direct contact with carpeting to avoid over-spraying.

NOTE: Ensure that the cleaning solution and water are in the tank before use.

Cleaning with Stain Trapper Tool (optional accessory available for purchase)

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

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 stain trapper 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.

CLEANING THE STAIN TRAPPER TOOL: Clean the front of the tool by removing the plate over the suction plate. Pull down to remove and rinse with water. Then replace the plate by sliding it back into place.

Empty Dirty Water Tank

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

1. To remove the dirty water collection tank, simply lift up on the tank from the base of the machine.
2. Pull the tab to remove the plug from the tank.
3. Carefully empty the dirty water tank, as some water may potentially enter/drain from the centre float stack.
4. Close the tank plug and return the tank to the unit. Ensure the tank is secure before use.
5. To disconnect the cleaning tools from the hose grip, push down on the button and pull straight off. (Do NOT twist the tool to remove it.)
6. The front of the 3” tough stain tool, deep stain tool, 3-N-1 and stain trapper tool (select models) can be removed for easy cleaning. Press the button on top of the tool and slide its front off the tool base. Rinse under water and return to the tool.

NOTE: Store unit in a protected, dry area, at room temperature (40 degrees F to 110 degrees F).

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

Clean the Float Stack

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

1. The float stack can be removed from the dirty water tank for cleaning. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Remove the float stack from the dirty water tank.
3. Rinse with water until all debris is removed and let air dry.
4. Return the float stack to the dirty tank. Ensure the float is installed before returning the float stack to the dirty tank.
5. Turn the float stack clockwise to lock.
6. Ensure the arrow on the float stack lines up with the lock icon.

Thermal Protector

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your carpet cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the suction motor will stop operating. If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn the cleaner OFF.
2. Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet.
3. Check the end of the hose and tool for blockages and remove if necessary. Check the float.
4. Let the motor cool for approximately 30 minutes. The thermal protector will automatically reset, and cleaning may continue once plugged back in.

NOTE: If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL Consumer Care or visit the website.

Troubleshooting

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