3. Using the measuring cup provided, pour 5 oz of BISSELL 2X formula into the heavy duty bladder. Fill the rest of the heavy duty bladder with hot tap water. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE WATER.

NOTE: Always use genuine BISSELL 2X formulas to maximize cleaning and for the safety of your machine.

4. Place the top of the tank back on the bottom and secure the latches on both sides.

NOTE: Remember to secure the tank latches on either side of the tank and test to make sure they are secure before picking up the tank.

Carpet cleaning

1. Plug into a proper outlet and push the on/off button located on the front of the handle.

2. Recline the handle by pressing on the lever at the back of the machine behind the 2-in-1 water tank.

3. Cleaning Strokes. While pressing the trigger, make one slow forward wet pass and another one back. Caution: Do not overwet. Take care not to run over loose objects or edges of area rugs. Stalling brush may result in premature belt failure.

NOTE: Your machine is equipped with a circuit breaker that will automatically shut off the brush if a large or loose object is caught in the brush roll. If that happens, be sure to unplug your machine, remove the foreign object, and then plug the machine back in to reset the circuit breaker.

4. Release the trigger and make one slow forward and backward pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water and aid in drying. Repeat cleaning passes until solution being pulled up appears clean. Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being pulled up.

CleanShot® (select models)

CleanShot is an optional feature that can be used to fight tough stains. It can be used as either a tough stain pre-treater or can be used during the deep cleaning process itself. To use CleanShot either as a pre-treat, or during deep cleaning, follow the instructions below.

1. Press the CleanShot button on the front of the machine’s handle and aim the focused stream onto the stain for up to 5 seconds.

2. Allow the formula to soak in for 15 seconds.

3. Run the machine over the stain to extract

until no formula or water can be seen coming up from the carpet.

4. Repeat as needed until the stain is gone.

Cleaning with attachments

Your deep cleaner comes equipped with a hose and at least one attachment for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.

1. Important! If using to clean upholstery, check upholstery tags.

1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your deep cleaner. If the tag is coded with an “X” or an “S” (with a diagonal stripe through it), or says “Dry Clean Only”, do not proceed with any deep cleaning machine. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

a. Check for colorfastness in an

inconspicuous place.

b . If possible, check upholstery stuffing.

Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.

c. Plan activities to allow upholstery

time to dry.

d. Pick up any loose dirt, debris and

pet hair before deep cleaning.

2. Follow the instructions on page 7 for filling the 2-in-1 water tank.

3. The DeepClean Premier is designed with an automatic diverter. Simply lock the unit upright in order to clean with the hose.

4. Attach the cleaning tool to the end of the hose.

5. Plug in and turn on the power switch.

6. Clean by pressing the trigger to spray

solution onto the area to be cleaned. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction soiled water. Continue to clean in the area, working in small sections, until no more dirt can be removed. Rinse (optional) and suction as needed. Caution: Do not overwet.

7. Remove and rinse tools in clean, running water. Dry and replace on the end of the hose.

8. It is recommended that you suction clean water from a bowl to rinse out the hose.

9. Before replacing lift end of hose and stretch out to ensure all water is cleared from hose.

10. Wrap flex hose around the hose rack.

11. Empty 2-in-1 water tank and rinse out,

following the instructions on page 10.

Cleaning with the Stain Trapper tool (select models)

Your deep cleaner may have come with a Stain Trapper tool. This tool is great for keeping messes out of the machine’s hose system.

1. Attach the Stain Trapper tool to the end of the hose.

2. Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.

3. Follow instructions 3-6 on page 9 under “Cleaning with attachments”.

NOTE: Do not fill the Stain Trapper tank above the FULL line.

4. To empty the Stain Trapper tool, rotate the small tank on the bottom of the tool to unlock it.

NOTE: Be careful to keep the top of the tool facing upward or soiled water will spill out of the tank.

5. Dump dirty water into a sink or toilet and rinse the tank out with clean water. Replace the tank by lining up the “unlock” symbol with the small arrow on the tank and turning it to the “lock” symbol.

6. Clean the front of the tool by removing the plate over the suction path. Pull down on the bottom of the plate to remove. Run the tool and the plate under clean water to rinse taking care to remove all debris. Replace the front plate by sliding it back into place.

Clean-up

1. Remove the tank from the base of the machine by lifting up on the tank carry handle. Carry like a bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will dispose of the dirty water.

2. Unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by lifting up on the tank latches on either side of the tank.

3. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up on the handle.

4. Lift the bottom portion of the tank; pour out dirty water in the sink through the rectangular shaped opening in the corner of the tank.

NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the cleaning action. This debris should be picked up and thrown away. Check the red lint filter near the duct on the back of the machine base for debris and remove before continuing.

5. Empty the Pet Hair Basket (select models) by sliding it toward the front of the tank and lifting up. Replace the Pet Hair Basket before storing/continuing to clean.

6. Fill the heavy duty bladder with clean hot tap water, following instructions on page 7.

NOTE: Remember to secure the tank latches and test to make sure it is secure before picking up the tank.

7. Water rinse (recommended). Rinsing is an optional step that can be done during the cleaning process or after the carpeted area has been completed. Empty the heavy-duty bladder if necessary, and refill with hot tap water only. Replace the tank on the machine. Take care to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the trigger, and a backward (wet) stroke, followed by a forward and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the trigger. Continue this until the water you see coming up the nozzle is clear. (See page 13 for more machine care tips.)

Stain removal

Do Not Delay! Attending to an accident soon after it occurs ensures the most optimal clean. Leaving it for an extended period of time may cause it to set and become permanent.

1. Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels. White materials are recommended because certain dyes may bleed and make the stain worse.

2. Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.

3. If the area has already dried, separate and remove from the carpet whatever semi-solids and residue that can be accessed before deep cleaning.

4. Be sure to test any spot removal formulas in an inconspicuous area first. This is important as some dyes and materials could be damaged or discolored by cleaning solvents. If such a change should occur, try a different solution or call a professional.

5. If cleaning on Berber carpeting, gently run your machine over a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in soiled area.

6. Using the BISSELL Tough Stain Pretreat, spray evenly over soiled area. Do not overwet. Wait 3-5 minutes. Gently work the solution by blotting area with a clean, damp, color safe cloth.

7. Clean large areas with the DeepClean Premier machine or use the hose to clean spots, stains and hard-to-reach areas.

hardwood floors.

1. Vacuum or sweep thoroughly to pick up any

loose debris and pet hair.

2. Move any furniture, if needed.

4. Follow instructions on page 7 to fill the 2-in-1 water tank.

5. Plug into an outlet and turn the power switch ON.

6. Slowly move the machine forward and back over hard floor surface one time while depressing trigger. Caution: Do not overwet.

7. Repeat the motion without pressing the trigger using the hard floor tool to squeegee and suction up the dirty water.

8. Allow adequate time for floors to dry.

9. Remove hard floor tool, rinse and dry

before storing.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre and electric shock- when cleaning a hard ﬂoor, the BISSELL bare ﬂoor tool 160-0208 must be used and it must only be used with BISSELL 2X Hard Floor Solutions cleaning ﬂuid intended for use with this appliance.

WARNING

Machine storage

Once your cleaning is complete, make sure the 2-in-1 water tank is emptied, rinsed out, and dried before the next use.
