Before You Clean

Maximum Results with your ProHeat® Pet Deep Cleaner

Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
Thoroughly vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner before deep cleaning.
Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
Pretreating your carpet is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for spots and stains and heavily soiled carpets.

Spray a BISSELL® Stain Pretreat formula onto high-traffic areas, soiled areas or stains.
Allow to penetrate for at least 3 minutes.
Deep clean carpet with machine set to Heavy Traffic cleaning mode..
- Opening windows or running a fan increases air flow in a room and expedites dry time.

WARNING: Do not plug in your machine until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Filling the 2-in-1 Tank

Our innovative 2-in-1 Tank system is designed with a heavy-duty flexible bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the clean water in the bladder will empty and mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty water will be pulled out of your carpets and collect around the outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are always kept separate. This allows you to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the sink for filling and emptying.

Press the Recline Pedal to lay down the machine handle. Lift the 2-in-1 Tank from the base of the machine using the carry handle on the tank.
Carry the tank to the sink. Set the tank on a flat surface and rotate the handle forward to unlatch and remove the lid. Fill up the bladder with warm water (140⁰F/60⁰C MAX). Do not boil or microwave the water as it can destroy the bladder.
Optional: Add 2 ounces of BISSELL Boost formula to the bladder for even more cleaning power.
Return the tank lid by matching it to the tank edges. The tank handle must be in the forward position in order to set the lid in place. Rotate the handle back to secure the latch.
Note: Remember to secure the lid before picking up the tank.

Filling the SmartMix® Tank

The SmartMix feature automatically mixes clean water with the BISSELL® Advanced cleaning formula.

Lift the SmartMix tank up and out of the machine base.
Fill the tank by first unscrewing the cap and insert. Fill with water to the WATER line. Fill with formula to the FORMULA line. Turn the cap and screw on tightly to secure. Return the tank to the machine for a snug fit.
Note: Make sure the cap is properly seated to avoid leaking.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning formulas intended for use with the deep cleaner.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Press the Power Switch to turn the machine ON.
While pressing the trigger, make one slow pass forward and back to put water and formula down.
Release the trigger and make one slow pass forward and back over the same area to pick up the water and formula that was just put down. Repeat cleaning passes until the liquid coming up appears clean. Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t see any more water being pulled up.ATTENTION

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Press the Power Switch to turn the machine ON.
Press the trigger to spray solution on the area you are cleaning. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction up the soiled area. Work in small sections. When finished, rinse the hose and tool by suctioning warm water from a bowl. Allow the hose and tool to dry and re-wrap the hose & tool on the machine before storing.
