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.

SmartMix bottle

Special Features of your BISSELL ProHeat®Pro-Tech

The ProHeat Pro-Tech is a home cleaning system that automatically mixes hot tap water with Fiber Cleansing Formula and heats the solution as it is applied to the carpet. The combination of heated cleaning solution, powered brush and suction provide a safe and effective method of cleaning.

Temperature control automatically heats the cleaning solution as it is being applied to the carpet (*) to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness.

The Power Switch controls power to the machine; both switches must be ON for SmartTemp to work.

The SmartTemp Switch is found on the back of the handle next to the Power Switch. You may choose not to use the SmartTemp feature if you are cleaning delicate wool or oriental rugs.

*SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet and bare floor application only. It does not heat solution sprayed through the accessory tools.

The SmartTemp Ready Light indicates when the heater is ON. The heater should be turned on two minutes before cleaning, to become fully warmed up and ready to clean. It is found on the front of the handle where it is easy to see while you clean.

SmartTemp increases the water temperature approximately 25° and will not allow it to exceed 180.°

Provides custom control for each cleaning job.

Lift the SmartMix concentrate bottle up and out of the machine base.

Turn the bottle over so that the valve cap is in an upward position. Unscrew the valve cap and fill the bottle to the mark with BISSELL Fiber Cleansing Formula.

Replace the valve cap turning until snug.

Note: If bottle leaks, check for proper

positioning of o-ring and straw.

Choose the SmartMix setting that fits the cleaning job.

Water Rinse / Carpet Protector - use for gentle cleaning or for the final rinse after cleaning. This setting must also be used when applying the carpet protectant through the applicator, to prevent the pump from temporarily losing its prime.

Normal- automatically provides the best mix of water and concentrate for most cleaning jobs.

High Traffic- automatically mixes the right amount of water and concentrate to dissolve tough grime and heavy soil. Note: Residual cleaning materials left in carpet from other products may cause excessive foaming when picked up. If foam is overflowing tank, move SmartMix dial to “Water Only” position until the condition stops.

Note: Both the SmartMix Bottle and the clean

water tank must have liquid in them in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty, the machine will temporarily lose its prime and not apply either cleaning solution or water only.

Important:

If you are using the WATER RINSE / CARPET PROTECTANT setting, fill the Smart Mix bottle with water also!

The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch ON. When the machine handle is in the fully upright position, Carpet Saver

™

automatically raises the brush off the carpet.

Our Tank-in-Tank system is designed with a bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty water collects in the tank outside the bladder.

Step on handle release to lay the machine handle down out of the way.

O-ring Position

Tip:

Deep Cleaning stairs and high traffic areas on a regular basis and using the carpet protectant can prolong carpet life.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formula for full size machines in your ProHeat Pro-Tech. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent based soil removers should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your ProHeat Pro-Tech, causing cracking or pitting.

Lift the Tank-in-Tank handle. The handle locks the lid in place.

Carry it like a bucket to fill at the sink.

Note: You may notice hair and debris deposits on

the carpet that were loosened by the brushing action (especially with newer carpets that have never been deep cleaned before). This debris should be picked up and thrown away. Debris that deposits in the Brush Belt should be cleaned between uses to keep the Belts running free.

Set the tank down and rotate the handle forward to unlatch the lid. Lift off and set the lid aside.

Find the mouth of the Bladder and fill to the bottom of the neck with clean hot tap water. *Do not boil or

microwave water as it can destroy the Bladder.

Note: Fill the Bladder with clean hot tap water only.

Replace the tank lid matching the lid and tank edges. Handle must be in the forward position to reinstall.

Rotate the handle to the carrying position to re-latch the lid.

Replace tank in machine base, seating firmly in place.

Rotate handle back down to the latched position.

Note: Both the SmartMix Bottle and the clean

water tank must have liquid in them in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty the machine will not apply either cleaning solution or water only.

Important: If you are using the WATER RINSE /

CARPET PROTECTANT setting, fill the Smart Mix bottle with water also!

Remove the Tank-in-Tank – follow steps 1 and 2 on page 7 and 8.

Carry the Tank-in-Tank, like a bucket, to the sink where you will dispose of the dirty water.
