Operations
Special features
Your BISSELL deep cleaner is a home
cleaning system that uses a combination of hand hot tap water, BISSELL
cleaning formula, brush agitation and
suction to safely clean carpets.
™
DirtLifter
The DirtLifter PowerBrush is 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.
When the power is ON and the machine is in
the upright position, your carpet is protected
because the brush is lifted up off the carpet.
ReadyTools
The Ready Tools feature allows you to choose
between FLOOR CLEANING or cleaning with
TOOLS simply by turning the dial. The TOOLS
setting allows for above floor cleaning of
upholstery, stairs, creases along baseboards,
and other hard to reach areas. Simply choose
the tool that is appropriate for the job, attach to
flex hose, and you are ready to go.
Microban® antibacterial
product protection
Microban antibacterial product protection is
built into key components to help prevent
the growth of harmful common household
bacteria. It helps to keep the unit fresher an
cleaner between uses.
Scotchgard
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically
wears down over time from heavy foot traffic
and everyday cleaning, including deep cleaning. To help restore this important protection,
only BISSELL offers cleaning formulas with
Scotchgard protector. This offers extra protection against dirt and tough stains to keep your
carpets looking good longer.
Before you clean
1. Move furniture to another area if
cleaning an entire room. (Optional)
2. Vacuum carpet thoroughly.
3. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit
path. It is best to begin cleaning in the
corner farthest from your exit.

cleaning formulas that contain
lemon or pine oil may damage
this appliance and void the
guarantee. Chemical spot
cleaners or solvent-based soil
removers should not be used.
These products may react with
the plastic materials used in your
deep cleaner causing cracking
