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

that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter

and a grounding plug. It must
only be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with

Special Features
Maximize Results with your ProHeat 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 eectiveness
for heavily soiled carpet in high trac areas such as entryways and hallways.
a. Spray the BISSELL Stain PreTreat formula onto heavy trac areas,
soiled areas, or stains.
b. Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes.
c. Use the ProHeat machine on the high trac setting.
2-in-1 Tank ™
Our 2-in-1 Tank™ system is designed with a heavy
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.
Measuring Cup
Your deep cleaner is equipped with a measuring cup
for adding the proper amount of formula to the 2-in-1
tank. For convenience, the measuring cup is built into
the lid.
Removable Nozzle
Cleaning your machine after you’re done has never
been easier! This nozzle pops o for rinsing in the
sink. Use the Nozzle Clean Out Tool also! Slide the tool
into the slot that touches the floor. Work the tool to
remove debris that may be caught in the nozzle.

1-Press the recline pedal to access
the 2-in-1 tank. Remove the tank
from the base of the machine by
lifting the tank carry handle.
2-Carry the tank like a bucket to
the sink. Rotate the carry han-
dle forward to unlatch the lid.
Remove the lid and turn it over to
locate the measuring cup.
3-Fill with BISSELL 2X formula to the indi-
cated fill line on the built in measuring cup
and pour it into the bladder.
4-Fill the bladder with clean hot tap water
(140F/60C MAX). *Do not boil or microwave
the water as it can destroy the bladder.
**If you are using BISSELL Boost formulas,
measure out the formula by the bottle’s
instructions and add it to the bladder at this
time.
5-Return the tank lid by matching it to the
tank edges. The tank handle must be in the
forward position in order to set the lid in
place. Rotate the handle to secure the latch.
Note: Remember to secure the lid before
picking up the tank.
6-Seat the tank firmly back into the machine
base. Rotate the tank handle back into
latched position.

NOTE: Heatwave Technology™
helps maintain the temperature
of the water in your 2-in-1 tank
while you’re cleaning.

ATTENTION: To prevent damage to Berber carpets, avoid repeated strokes in
the same area.
NOTE: Do not overwet the carpet. Also
take care not to run over loose objects,
edges of area rugs, or the power cord.
1
Turn the power on by
pressing the red Power
Switch on the back of the
machine with your foot.
Set the ReadyTools Dial to
“FLOOR CLEANING”.
2
Operations: Carpet Cleaning
Plug the power cord into a
properly grounded outlet.
TIP: Thorough vacuuming before deep cleaning will prevent early clogging in the
nozzle and lint trap.
3
Recline the machine by pressing the
gray release switch with your foot.
4
NOTE: Stalling the brush by running over
loose objects, edges of area rugs, or the
power cord may cause the belts to snap
and break.
While pressing the trigger, make one slow pass
forward and back to put water and formula down.
Release the trigger and make one slow pass
forward and back over the same area to pick up
the water and formula that was just put down.
Repeat until the liquid coming up appears clean.
Continue passes without pressing the trigger until
you can’t see any more water being suctioned up.
5
NOTE: You may notice hair and debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were
loosened by the cleaning action (especially with newer carpets that may have never been
deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked up and thrown away.
www.BISSELL.com
10
IMPORTANT: Check upholstery tags for any special care instructions. If possible,
check for colored stung as it is possible the color could bleed through. Check for
colorfastness in a hidden area - like the back or underside of the furniture.
31
Vacuum thoroughly to
pick up dirt and debris.
Use a vacuum with a
hose and tool for fabric
folds and stair crevices.
Fill the tank
according
to page 8 to
prepare your
machine.
5
Set the Ready Tools Dial
to the Tools setting. This
will allow the machine
to divert the spray and
suction to the hose.
Attach the cleaning tool
to the end of the hose.
Plug the power cord into a
grounded outlet and press the
Power Switch Pedal to turn the
machine ON.
Be cautious: the brush roll on
the foot of the machine will spin
while using the hose. Ensure the
machine is not reclined or tilted
while using the hose.
WARNING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be extra careful when cleaning stairs. Make sure the
machine is secure and level.
Press the trigger on the hose to spray solution on to the area you are cleaning. Slowly move the
tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction up the soiled area. Work
in small sections. Optional: Spray and suction with only warm water to rinse the cleaned area.
4
NOTE: It is recommended that you suction
warm water from the tap to rinse out the
hose. Before wrapping the hose back on the
machine, extend the hose to ensure water is
out of the hose. Allow the hose and tool time
to dry before storing.
