Special Features of Your BISSELL ProHeat 2X
Your BISSELL ProHeat 2X Deep Cleaner is a home
cleaning system that uses the power of heat and
brushes 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 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 PowerBrush
The 2 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 and protects your carpet if you leave the power
switch ON ( I ). Once the product is in the Upright
position, the brushes automatically stop spinning. The
Detent Pedal will activate the brush when floor cleaning.
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 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!
This feature is available on all ProHeat 2X models, either
on top of the Water Tank or on the Upper Handle.

Scotchgard protector Applicator Tool and Scotchgard Warranty
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically wears
down with heavy foot traffic over time and with
everyday cleaning, including deep cleaning. To help
restore this important protection, BISSELL offers deep
cleaning formulas with Scotchgard protector and a
post-applicator to apply Scotchgard protector with the
same materials used by carpet mills. This offers extra
protection against dirt and tough stains to keep your
carpets looking good longer.
Until now, to maintain your Scotchgard 5-year
limited stain warranty, you were required to hire
a professional. By using your BISSELL ProHeat 2X
machine with BISSELL formulas containing Scotchgard
protector every 12 months, your carpet warranty from
3M remains in effect. No other home deep cleaning
system can do this for you. Refer to the Scotchgard
protector warranty for details.
2-in-1 Tank
Our 2-in-1 full capacity tank 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.

Easy to Remove and Clean Nozzle
Now, cleaning up your machine after the cleaning
process is easier than ever! Simply remove the 2-in-1
Tank and remove the screw to pop out the nozzle for
rinsing in the sink. Dirt, loose carpet fibers, and
remaining pet hair or fuzz gets washed away in a snap.
Ready Tools Dial
This provides either floor cleaning or above the floor
cleaning with the turn of a knob. If choosing above
floor cleaning for upholstery, stairs, or in those creases
close to the baseboards, choose the attachment
appropriate for the job, attach it to the flex hose, and
you are ready to go!
