ance has an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. it must only 
be plugged into an outlet that is properly 
installed and grounded in accordance 
with all local codes and ordinances.
 
    WARNING:
 improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk 
of electrical shock. check with a qualified 
electrician or service person if you aren’t 
sure if the outlet is properly grounded. 
do not modify the Plug. if it will 
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician. this 
appliance is designed for use on a nomi-
nal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding 
attachment plug that looks like the plug in 
the drawing above. make certain that the 
appliance is connected to an outlet hav-
ing the same configuration as the plug. 
no plug adapter should be used with this 
appliance.

Operations
Special features 
Innovative cleaning technology
This innovative deep cleaner offers two 
machines in one. The upright deep cleaner 
uses the power of heat, brushes and  
cleaning formula to get deep down dirt   
for a maximum clean. The portable spot 
cleaner detaches to clean tough spots and 
stains and hard to reach areas. 
Hot water heater
This deep cleaner features a patented built-in 
hot water heater which will heat the hot tap 
water you put in to safely optimize cleaning 
effectiveness. The heater temperature is   
limited to prevent carpet damage. The heater 
automatically turns on when you turn the 
machine on. This operates only in upright 
cleaning mode. 
Scotchgard™ Protector
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically 
wears down over time from heavy foot traffic 
and everyday cleaning, including deep clean-
ing. To help restore this important protection, 
only BISSELL offers deep cleaning formulas 
with Scotchgard protector. This offers extra 
protection against dirt and tough stains to 
keep your carpets looking good longer. 
To maintain your Scotchgard 5-year limited 
stain warranty, you do not need to hire a 
professional. By using your BISSELL deep 
cleaner with BISSELL 2X formulas containing 
Scotchgard protector every 12 months, your 
carpet warranty from 3M remains in effect. 
No other home deep cleaning system can do 
this for you. Refer to the Scotchgard Protector 
warranty for details. 
Pedal Graphic
Tip:
for easy carrying, grab the 
carry handle portable spot 
cleaner and balance with  
the handle on the back of  
the machine.
