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.

Grounding Pin
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 drawing above. 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.

WARNING: Use only BISSELL Cleaning formulas in your POWERSTEAMER® PROHEAT.™ PLUS. |

The BISSELL SmartClean® System
POWERSTEAMER® PROHEAT™ PLUS is a home cleaning system that automatically mixes hot tap water with cleaning solution formula and heats the cleaning solution as it is applied to the carpet. The combination of heated cleaning solution, powered brush and suction provide a safe and effective method of cleaning.
The Basics: How it works
SmartTemp™
Temperature control automatically heats the cleaning solution as it is being applied to the carpet (*) to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness.
•The SmartTemp™ Ready Light indicates when the
heater is ON and ready to clean. It is found on the front of the handle where
it is easy to see while you clean.
• The Power Switch controls power to the machine; both switches must be ON for SmartTemp™ to work.
• The SmartTemp™ Switch is found on the back of the handle next to the Power Switch. It illuminates in the ON position. You may choose not to use the SmartTemp™ feature if you are cleaning delicate
wool, or oriental rugs.
* SmartTemp™ heats the cleaning solution for carpet and bare floor application only. It does
not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools.

DirtLifter® PowerBrush
The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibres.
The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch ON. When the machine handle is in the fully upright position, CarpetSaver™ automatically raises the brush off the carpet.
Tank-in-Tank™ is easy to use
It is designed with a bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty water collects in the tank outside the bladder.
1.Step on handle release to lay the machine handle down out of the way.
2.Lift the Tank-in-Tank™ handle. The handle locks the lid in place.
3.Carry it like a bucket to fill at the sink.
