Setup and Assembly
Your BISSELL QuickSteamer is designed for quick and easy assembly, typically requiring only a few minutes. Follow these steps to prepare your cleaner for first use:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present, including the main body, handle assembly, clean water tank, and dirty water tank.
- Attach Handle: Insert the handle assembly into the designated slot on the main body of the cleaner. Secure it firmly, often with a screw (refer to the quick start guide included in your packaging for specific fastening details).
- Install Tanks: Ensure both the clean water tank and dirty water tank are correctly seated in their respective positions on the unit. The clean water tank is typically located at the front or top, and the dirty water tank at the bottom or rear.

Operating Instructions
Before operating, ensure the unit is properly assembled and the clean water tank is filled. The QuickSteamer is designed for efficient cleaning of carpets and area rugs.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution: Fill the clean water tank with hot tap water (not boiling) and the recommended amount of BISSELL cleaning formula. Refer to the cleaning formula's instructions for precise measurements. The tank capacity is designed for effective cleaning without being overly heavy.
- Pre-treat Stains (Optional): For heavily soiled areas or stubborn stains, it is recommended to pre-treat the area with a suitable carpet pre-treatment solution before deep cleaning.
- Begin Cleaning: Plug the cleaner into a grounded outlet. Press the power button to turn on the unit. Hold down the spray trigger while making slow, forward and backward passes over the carpet. Release the trigger for dry passes to suction up the dirty water.
- Maneuvering: The large wheels facilitate easy movement across various carpet types and around furniture. Overlap passes slightly to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Monitor Tanks: The clean water tank has a smaller capacity, requiring frequent refills. This helps maintain the water temperature for effective cleaning. The dirty water tank will collect the extracted solution and dirt.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your deep cleaner. Clean the unit after each use.
- Empty Dirty Water Tank: After each cleaning session, remove and empty the dirty water tank. Dispose of the dirty water responsibly.
- Rinse Tanks: Rinse both the clean and dirty water tanks thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. Allow them to air dry before reassembling or storing.
- Clean Nozzle: The nozzle is removable for easy cleaning. Detach it and rinse under running water to clear any debris or accumulated dirt. Ensure the suction path is clear.
- Brush Area: Inspect the brush area for any tangled hair or debris. While the brushes are stationary, keeping them clean is important for effective dirt loosening.
- Cord Wrap: Utilize the quick release cord wrap for neat storage of the power cord.
