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.

Grounded

Outlets

WARNING:

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 drawing above. 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.

Special features

Your BISSELL ProHeat 2X deep cleaner is a home cleaning system that uses the power of heat, brushes and cleaning formula to get the deep down dirt for a maximum clean. Not only does it come with a lot of unique features, it has been designed with you, the customer, in mind.

Built-in-Heater feature

BISSELL ProHeat 2X models all feature a patented built-in heater which will heat the hot tap water you put in up to 25 degrees hotter to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed 190 degrees. The heater switch on the front of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning

delicate wool or oriental rugs.

Dual DirtLifter® PowerBrushes

The two DirtLifter PowerBrush rolls are designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights. Once the product is in the upright position, the brushes automatically stop spinning.

Custom Clean

The Custom Clean feature automatically mixes hot tap water with the BISSELL formula. Simply choose one of the 4 settings (heavy traffic, normal clean, light clean, or water rinse) and the ProHeat 2X will adjust the right amount of cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to fit your cleaning need.

Having a separate solution tank from the water tank also allows no waste of formula. Because the water and solution are stored separately, they are not mixed until you are ready to clean. When your cleaning job is finished, the formula can be stored ready to use in your machine for the next time!

Special features

CleanShot®

The CleanShot feature gives you the ability to tackle tough stains with the push of a button. Cleaning solution is sprayed in a concentrated stream, penetrating the stain and allowing for better cleaning focus. Simply spray and suction and the stain is gone! CleanShot is especially effective for spots and stains that would otherwise take a lot of deep cleaning cycles to remove. It allows the cleaning formula and machine to do the work for you.

Dry Aire™

The Dry Aire system spreads hot air across the carpet to aid in drying. The feature runs while your machine is powered. Heated air is distributed from the bottom and back of the machine and blown across the carpet while you clean!

Flow Gauge

CleanShot

Flow Gauge

The flow gauge is located on the rear cover of your unit and is a convenient performance feedback indicator.

The flow gauge will spin when the trigger is depressed and:

• There is liquid in both the clean water tank and the formula tank

• Custom Clean is set to rinse and there is water in the clean tank

The flow gauge will stop spinning when:

• The trigger is let go

• The unit runs out of clean water

• The unit runs out of cleaning formula

2-in-1 water tank

Our 2-in-1 water tank full capacity 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 pulled out of your carpets will collect around the outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are always kept separate. This allows the user to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.
