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.

Special Features

SmartMix

1

The SmartMix feature automatically mixes hot tap
water with the BISSELL Advanced cleaning formula.
Choose one of the 3 settings and the SmartMix will
adjust the right amount of cleaning formula to mix
with the hot water to fit your cleaning need.

2-in-1 Tank ™

Our 2-in-1 Tank™ system is designed with a heavy

2

duty bladder inside for clean water. As you clean,
the clean water in the bladder will empty and mix
with the cleaning formula. Dirty water will be pulled
out of your carpets and collect around the outside
of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are
always kept separate. This allows you to maximize
tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the
sink for filling and emptying.

ReadyTools Dial

This dial switches your machine between floor

3

cleaning and hose/tool cleaning.

Flow Indicator

This is located on the machine base. It spins when

4

the trigger is pressed to indicate that the machine
is applying cleaning solution to the carpet and will
stop spinning when the formula tank or bladder
needs to be refilled, or when the trigger is released.

Before You Clean

Maximize Results with your ProHeat Pet Deep Cleaner...

• Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.

• Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).

• Thoroughly vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner before deep cleaning.

• Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in
the corner farthest from your exit.

• Pretreat
Pretreating your carpet is recommended to improve cleaning eectiveness
for heavily soiled carpet in high trac areas such as entryways and hallways.
a. Spray the BISSELL Stain PreTreat formula onto heavy trac areas,
soiled areas, or stains.
b. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes.
c. Use the ProHeat Pet machine on the high trac setting.
