Before You Clean
- Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.
- Move furniture to another area if cleaning an entire room (optional).
- Remove loose dirt and impediments.
- Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
- Pretreating (optional):
Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high-traffic areas such as entryway and hallways.
To Pretreat:
- Using BISSELL Stain Pretreat (sold separately), generously and evenly spray over soiled area. Do not overwet.
- Wait 3-5 minutes before deep cleaning.
- Clean as normal using your BISSELL carpet & upholstery washer, following instructions below.

- Unlatch top of tank from bottom by lifting up on Tank Latches on each side of the tank.
- Fill bladder with warm (60°C/140°F MAX) tap water.
Do not boil or microwave water as it can destroy the bladder. - Using measuring cup provided, pour two measuring cups filled to the indicated in formula bottle cap, line (5 oz/138 ml total) into bladder.
NOTE: Always use genuine BISSELL formulas to maximize cleaning and for the safety of your machine. - Replace top of tank back onto bottom and secure latches on both sides of tank.
NOTE: Remember to secure Tank Latches on each side of tank and test to make sure they are secure before picking up tank. - Place tank back into machine base, seating firmly in place.
Carpet Cleaning
CAUTION
Brushes may unexpectedly restart. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug before removing nozzle for cleaning or servicing.
- Plug into a proper outlet and push Power Button located on front of handle.
- Recline handle by pressing on Recline Pedal on back of machine behind 2-in-1 Water Tank.
- While pressing Spray Trigger, make one slow forward wet pass and another one back.

Repeated passes will help aid in dry time.
NOTE: You may notice hair and debris deposits on the carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the cleaning action. This debris should be picked up and thrown away.
Using CleanShot
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.

- Press CleanShot Button on front of machine’s handle and aim focused stream onto stain for up to 5 seconds.
- Allow formula to soak in for 15 seconds.
- Without pressing Spray Trigger, run machine over stain to extract it until no formula or water can be seen coming up from the carpet.
- Repeat as needed until stain is gone.
Emptying the 2-in-1 Water Tank

- After each use, remove any debris on red filter near air duct on back of base of machine while the tank is still removed.
- Empty hair and debris basket by sliding it toward front of tank and lifting up. Replace before storing/continuing to clean.
- To continue carpet cleaning, refer back to “Carpet Cleaning” instructions on page 8. If cleaning is complete, refer to “Maintenance and Care” section starting on page 11.

trigger to rinse the hose for 30 seconds. The HydroRinse Tool can be stored on the handle or on the hose in between uses.
Cleaning with Attachments (cont.)

Stain Trapper Tool
