SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS MODEL IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Commercial use of this unit voids the
manufacturer’s warranty.
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 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.

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 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 brushes 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 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!

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
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:
• Thereisliquidinboththecleanwatertank
and the formula tank
OR
• CustomCleanissettorinseandthereis
water in the clean tank
The flow gauge will stop spinning when:
• Thetriggerisletgo
• Theunitrunsoutofcleanwater
• Theunitrunsoutofcleaningformula
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.
