2. Attaching the Cleaning Tool

Select the appropriate cleaning tool (Large Stain Tool or Tough Stain Tool) for your cleaning task. Attach the tool firmly to the end of the hose until it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Treatment (Optional)

For heavily soiled areas or tough, set-in stains, pre-treating the area can improve cleaning results. Apply a small amount of BISSELL pre-treatment spray directly to the stain, allowing it to penetrate for a few minutes before cleaning.

2. Cleaning Process

1. Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the power switch located on the front of the unit.
3. Place the cleaning tool directly onto the stained area.
4. Press the spray trigger to dispense cleaning solution onto the stain while slowly pulling the tool over the area.
5. Release the spray trigger and slowly pull the tool over the same area to suction up the dirty solution. Repeat this step until no more dirt can be removed.
6. For best results, make several passes over the area without pressing the spray trigger to ensure maximum moisture extraction.

• Upholstery: Test a small, inconspicuous area for colorfastness before cleaning. Use the tough stain tool for precise cleaning.
• Car Interiors: Ideal for cleaning car mats, seats, and carpeted areas. Ensure proper ventilation.
