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.
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.

Deep Clean Use on stains that have had time to set-in. These are typically the most difficult stain types to remove. This cycle runs for approximately 6 minutes.
3
Hose/Tool By selecting this option you can clean spots and stains using the hose and tool on surfaces such as upholstery, stairs, car interiors or any other hard to reach area.
5
Done This light will illuminate and you will hear a series of “beeps” when the cleaning cycle is complete. Press the STOP button to turn the machine OFF. The machine will not beep when turned OFF.

2Select “Hose/Tool” and follow manual cleaning instructions on page 10 to test.
Hands-Free Cleaning
1
Place the unit directly over the spot or stain, making sure the stain is in the center of the cleaning area.
2
Select which cleaning cycle (Quick Clean or Deep Clean) you would like to use.
SpotBot® will begin spraying, brushing and suctioning the soiled area, in a preprogrammed cycle. Both cycles have been tested and proven to deliver superior cleaning results, taking the guesswork and effort out of cleaning for you.
3
When the cleaning cycle you have selected is complete, the Done light will illuminate and the machine will sound a series of “beeps”. Press the STOP button to turn the machine OFF. The machine will not beep when turned OFF
4
Pick up the unit and check the area that was cleaned.
If you use BISSELL® Oxy Boost, it will continue to work for the next six to eight hours, cleaning your spots and stains all the way to the backing of the carpet.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to Berber carpets, avoid repeated cleaning cycles in the same area.
