WARNING:
Use only BISSELL Little Green formula in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void warranty.

Deep Cleaning

If the tool stops spraying, turn OFF Power Switch and check cleaning solution level. Refill if needed. Never run dry.

Deep Cleaning Upholstery

If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.
