6 The Basics: How Your PowerSteamer Works Tip: Deep cleaning carpeting and upholstery regularly can reduce dust and allergens in your home. Power The Power Switch controls power to the machine. The powered brush roll at the Floor Nozzle is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern 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. When the machine handle is in the fully upright position, CarpetSaver ™automatically raises the brush off the carpet. Your PowerSteamer is equipped with a Measuring Cup for adding the proper amount of cleaning formula to the Tank-in-Tank ™. Before using the machine, simply fill the Measuring Cup to the fill line with BISSELL Advanced Deep Cleaning Formula. Pour the formula into the Tank- in-Tank as shown on page 7. For convenience, the Measuring Cup stores on the back of the unit.

This easy-to-use system is designed with a bladder inside to hold clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty water collects in the tank outside the bladder. NOTE: Make sure to add formula to the tank before filling it with water. Depress the Handle Release pedal to tilt back the handle. Lift the Tank-in-Tank handle. The handle locks the lid in place. Carry the Tank-in-Tank like a bucket to fill at the sink. Set the Tank down and rotate the handle forward to unlatch the Lid. Lift off and set the Lid aside. Using the Measuring Cup, pour BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formula into the mouth of the bladder. Fill to the bottom of the neck with hot tap water. Do not boil or microwave water.
