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

Using the Automatic Cleaning Cycles
Tips Before Using Your SpotBot®
• Dry vacuum the area first, before spot cleaning with the SpotBot.
• Some spots and spills require that you pick up the chunky debris with a rag
or towel before you begin cleaning in the automatic or manual cycles.
1
Quick Clean This cycle has been designed
for stains that are on the surface of your
carpeting. This cycle will run for approximately 3 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.
2
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.
4
Stop By pressing the red stop button, you
will stop the cleaning cycle completely. To
begin cleaning again, you will need to start
over and select a cleaning cycle.
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.

specialized cleaning instructions. Not for use on silk or delicate area rugs.

inconspicuous area for
colorfastness.
Hands-Free Cleaning

stain, making sure the stain is in the center
of the cleaning area.
3 4

21
manual cleaning instructions on

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.
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
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.
