5. Operating Instructions

The BISSELL 81N7E offers three primary cleaning modes: water-filtered vacuuming, carpet cleaning, and hard floor washing.

5.1. Water-Filtered Vacuuming

This mode uses water to trap dust and debris, preventing re-release into the air. It is ideal for general dry vacuuming.

1. Ensure the water tank is filled with clean water to the indicated level.
2. Attach the desired vacuuming nozzle (e.g., floor nozzle for carpets/hard floors, crevice tool for tight spaces).
3. Plug in the unit and turn on the power switch. The 2000-watt motor will provide strong suction.
4. Move the nozzle slowly over the surface to be cleaned. The water filtration system, combined with the HEPA13 filter, will capture dust and allergens.
5. After use, turn off the unit, unplug it, and empty the dirty water tank as described in the Maintenance section.

5.2. Carpet Cleaning (Deep Cleaning)

For deep cleaning carpets and upholstery, the unit utilizes its ProHeat technology to maintain optimal cleaning solution temperature.

1. Remove the water tank and fill it with the recommended BISSELL carpet cleaning solution and warm water, following the solution's instructions.
2. Attach the appropriate carpet cleaning tool (e.g., large area carpet tool or spot cleaning tool for upholstery).
3. Plug in the unit and turn on the power. Allow a few minutes for the ProHeat system to warm the cleaning solution.
4. Press the spray trigger to apply the cleaning solution while moving the tool slowly over the carpet. Release the trigger and make a second pass to suction up the dirty solution.
5. Repeat passes until the extracted water appears clean.
6. After cleaning, turn off and unplug the unit. Empty and rinse the dirty water tank thoroughly.

6.1. Emptying and Cleaning Water Tanks
