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.

WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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

Before you clean
1. Move furniture to another area if clean-

thoroughly before deep cleaning.
3. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit
path. It is best to begin cleaning in the
corner farthest from your exit.

to improve cleaning effectiveness for
heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas
such as entryways and hallways.
A. Spray the BISSELL Tough Stain
Pre-Treat formula onto high traffic
areas, soiled areas or stains.
B. Allow to penetrate for at least three
minutes.
C. Clean as normal using your BISSELL
Big Green Clean Machine, following
the instructions on page 7.
ATTENTION:
Some Berber carpets have a
tendency to fuzz with wear.
Repeated strokes in the same
area with an ordinary vacuum
or deep cleaner may aggravate this condition. Please see
Stain Removal instructions on
page 12.
