Some models come with a tool holder feature as pictured here. This is an extra place to hold an accessory. We recommend keeping your 3" tool in this pocket when you are not using your hose and tool.

*Not all tools included with every model

Asmbly

The only tool you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Slide handle assembly onto lower body and secure with two long screws.

2. Attach upper hose rack to back of handle assembly by guiding the hook up into slot location and pressing firmly upward until it is seated flush with the back of the machine. Secure 1 short screw through the hole in the bottom of the upper hose and cord rack.

3. Attach lower hose rack by guiding the hook up into slot location and pressing firmly upward until it is seated flush with the back of the machine. Secure 2 short screws through holes on either side of the bottom hose and cord rack.

and secure it into notch on holder and wrap cord around opposite side of hose and cord rack.

Before you clean

1. Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.

2. Move furniture to another area if cleaning an

entire room (optional).

3. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner before deep cleaning.

4. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.

5. Pretreating (optional)

Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic areas such as entry ways and hallways.

To pretreat: a. Using the BISSELL Stain Pretreat,

generously spray evenly over soiled area, do not overwet.

b. Wait 3-5 minutes before deep cleaning. c. Clean as normal using your BISSELL

deep cleaner.

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.
