Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning 
effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic 
areas such as entryways and hallways:
Set the SmartMix dial to High Traffic.
Set ReadyTools dial to PreTreat.
Plug into a proper outlet and turn on both the Power and
Smart Temp Switches.
While pressing the trigger slowly make several passes over
the area to be cleaned.Caution Do not overwet.
Turn the machine Power Switch OFF and let the BISSELL
Advanced Cleaning Formula dissolve the tough soil for 1-2
minutes before continuing.
Plug into a proper outlet and turn the Power and the
SmartTemp switches ON. Wait two minutes for the heater to
warm up before beginning to clean.
While pressing the trigger, make one slow forward wet pass
and another one back. Let the SmartTemp heated formula
and DirtLifter Powerbrush do the work for you.Caution: Do
not overwet.
Note: Take care not to run over loose objects or edges of area
rugs. Stalling brush may result in premature belt failure.
Release the trigger and make one slow forward and back
pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water.
Repeat cleaning passes until solution being pulled up
appears clean.
Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you can’t
see any more water being pulled up.
Note: Both the SmartMix and the clean water tank must have liquid in
them in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty the
machine will not apply either cleaning solution or water only.
After cleaning, you may want to turn the SmartMix dial to
Water Only to give your carpeting a final rinse. This will
ensure thorough removal of embedded dirt loosened by the
Advanced Deep Cleaning Formula. Advanced Deep Cleaning
Formulas contains an anti-resoiling agent that helps your
carpets repel dirt and keeps them looking good longer.
When the cleaning job is complete refer to the Maintenance
section for machine cleanup and storage instructions on 
page 18

ATTENTION
BERBER CARPET
OWNERS:
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.
Please see Stain Removal
instructions on page 13.

Stain Removal
Do Not Delay! Failure to attend to an accident soon after it occurs
may cause it to set and become permanent.
Before treating any stain, follow these pre-treatment steps:
Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels.
White materials are recommended because certain dyes
may bleed and make the stain worse.
Gently scrape up semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do
not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges
because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.
If the area has dried, remove the remaining semi-solids
and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.
Be sure to pre-test any spot removal solutions or chemicals
on an inconspicuous area first. This is extremely 
important; different dyes and materials could be damaged
or discolored by a cleaning solution. If such a change
should occur, try a different solution or call a professional. If
cleaning on Berber Carpet gently run your machine over
a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in
soiled area.
Use one of the following methods to Preclean the stain:
Using BISSELL Tough Stain Precleaner
™, generously
spray the area with the formula. Gently work the solution
with a clean cloth or towel into the area using light
strokes from the edges of the stain to the center. When
your cloth reaches the center of the stain, gently pinch it
in an upward motion. Make sure to turn and change your
cloth frequently and do not rub the stain. You may repeat
this process several times.
or 
Use your BISSELL deep cleaner as a Precleaner. With
one of the tools attached to hose, set the Ready Tools
dial to Pretreat and the Smart Mix dial to the High Traffic
setting. Spray the area with solution and allow the Deep
Cleaning formula to penetrate for 3-5 minutes.
Once the Precleaning is complete, use the attached tool
to gently scrub the stain with back and forth strokes.
Allow to dry. Some difficult stains may require a second
treatment.

Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS”
on the tag means you can use your ProHeat ClearView.
If the tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike
through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. Do
not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing
or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing
may bleed through fabric when wet.
Plan activities to give upholstery time to dry.
Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair.
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice
tool to clean in fabric folds and tufts.
