 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 12.
Plug into a proper outlet and turn the Power Switch 
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 Bottle and the clean 
water Tank must have liquid in them in 
order for the machine to spray. If one is 
empty, the machine will temporarily lose 
its prime and will not spray cleaning 
solution or water. 
After cleaning, you may want to turn the SmartMix Dial 
to the Water Rinse setting to give your carpeting a final 
rinse. This will ensure thorough removal of embedded 
dirt loosened by the BISSELL Advanced Deep Cleaning 
Formula. BISSELL Advanced Deep Cleaning Formulas 
contain 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 pages 18-20.
Note: You may notice hair and debris deposits 
on the carpet that were loosened by the 
brushing action (especially with newer 
carpets that have never been deep cleaned 
before). This debris should be picked up 
and thrown away. Debris that deposits in 
the Brush Belt should be cleaned between 
uses to keep the Belts running free.

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 pretreatment 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 discoloured 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 your BISSELL Deep Cleaner as a precleaner. With 
one of the tools attached to the Flex Hose, set the 
ReadyTools Dial to Tools/PreTreat and the Smart Mix 
Dial to the High Traffic setting. Spray the area with 
cleaning solution and allow the BISSELL Advanced 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.

Stain Removal In Between Deep Cleaning
Do Not Delay! Failure to attend to an accident soon after it occurs
may cause it to set and become permanent.
Use OxyKIC
™ carpet spot & stain remover to permanently remove 
tough spots and stains like red wine, cola and fruit juice in 
between deep cleaning.
OxyKIC has a revolutionary Dual Chamber System that activates 
the power of oxygen with a tough spot cleaner. The result is a 
powerful, oxygen activated spray that makes spot & stain removal 
easy – no scrubbing needed!
Note: OxyKIC is not recommended for use 
on upholstery.
Instantly begin to remove tough carpet spots and stains in 
between deep cleaning by following these simple steps:
Remove excess liquid or solid particles from spot or stain 
before applying OxyKIC.
Before cleaning, test a small, hidden area for 
colourfastness and examine when dry. If colour is 
affected, do not use.
Shake and bend tab under to release trigger.  
Fully press and spray in a circular pattern (avoid tilting 
can more than 60° while spraying).
Let OxyKIC settle into the spot or stain for 
3 – 5 minutes.
Blot spot or stain with a clean dry cloth.
For tough set-in spots & stains, repeat steps 3 – 5.
Be sure to let the area cleaned with OxyKIC dry completely before 
deep cleaning.

 The Perfect Pass feature is designed to help you achieve the best 
cleaning results when deep cleaning. 
Apply smooth even strokes when deep cleaning your carpets. An 
upright deep cleaner should not be used at the same speed as an 
ordinary vacuum. That is too fast for optimum cleaning results.
The Perfect Pass indicator displays a red light which tells you if 
you are in the range of Best Cleaning or if you are going To o  
Fast. If you notice consistently that the indicator light is in the To o  
Fast area, slow down until the light is in the Best Cleaning range. 
This will ensure you are getting the best cleaning results.
Unplug cleaner from the outlet before attaching TurboBrush. Attach 
TurboBrush to the Flex Hose by pressing tool onto the grip/trigger 
until button snaps into hole. Make certain tool is securely in place.
Move the TurboBrush switch to the “BRUSH” position.
This activates the brush when the unit is running.
Place the tool directly on the soiled surface. Apply 
downward pressure on the tool and pull towards you 
while pulling trigger to spray cleaning solution.
Release the spray trigger and move the switch to the 
“SUCTION” position. Vacuum the area until no more 
cleaning solution can be removed.
Repeat steps 1-3 until no more dirt can be removed. 
Caution: Do not overwet.
Disconnect the TurboBrush from the Flex Hose by pushing 
down on the button lock and pulling straight off.
Once removed from the flex hose, the TurboBrush can 
be cleaned.
A)  Move the switch to the “SUCTION” position
B)  Rinse under running water.
C)  Check spray nozzle for dirt. If necessary, clean with 
a soft bristle brush.
D)  Replace TurboBrush in its special storage 
location on the handle front.

Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on 
the tag means you can use your ProHeat Pro-Tech. If the 
tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), 
or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. The Scotchgard
™ 
protector is not recommended for use on velvet, silk, 100% 
cotton upholstery, vinyl or leather. If manufacturer’s tag is 
missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
Check for colourfastness in an inconspicuous place.
 If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Coloured 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.
Set up the machine following instructions in the 
Features section on pages 6-9.
Use only BISSELL Advanced Deep Cleaning Formula in 
SmartMix Bottle.
Set the ReadyTools Dial to Tools/PreTreat.
Note: Flow Indicator does not spin when set to 
Tools/PreTreat setting.
*SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet 
and bare floor application only. It does not heat 
solution sprayed through the accessory tools.
Set SmartMix Dial to Normal.
Choose the 4” Small Area Tool, the Tough Stain Brush, or 
the Spraying Crevice Tool and connect to the Flex Hose.
Plug into a proper outlet and turn Power Switch ON.
While pressing the trigger, slowly move the spraying tool back 
and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction 
soiled water.
Continue to clean soiled area, working in small sections, 
until no more dirt can be removed.
Caution: Do not overwet.
When the cleaning job is complete refer to the 
Maintenance section for machine cleanup and storage 
instructions on pages 18-20.

To Install the Replacement Pump Belt
With the unit still on its side, loop one end of the Replacement 
Pump Belt around the red pump pulley and then the other end 
around the silver motor shaft (see illustration). Do not twist the 
Replacement Pump Belt.
Re-install the “toothed” Brush Belt first onto the red pump pulley 
and then onto the “toothed” end of the brush (see illustration).
Re-install the brush into the base of unit.
Place the black brush arm onto the brush and slide black 
brush arm into base of unit. The black brush arm and brush 
should slide easily into original position (see illustration).
Re-install the red retainer plate and Phillips head screw 
(see illustration).
Using your finger, gently spin the Replacement Pump 
Belt on the silver motor shaft. If assembled correctly, the 
Replacement Pump Belt should rotate freely around the silver 
motor shaft and drive pulley without obstruction. The brush 
should also rotate freely when the silver motor shaft is turned.
Turn the machine right side up and replace the 
Tank-In-Tank, SmartMix Bottle and Belt Access Door 
(see illustration).
Assembly is now complete.
