Setup

Operating Instructions

Carpet Cleaning

1. Select Cleaning Mode: On the side of the machine, turn the dial to select your desired cleaning mode. The Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution offers two primary modes:
   
   • Deep Clean Mode: Provides a thorough clean for heavily soiled carpets and tough stains. This mode uses more water and solution and has a longer drying time.
   • Express Clean Mode: Ideal for lighter cleaning and quick drying. Carpets cleaned in this mode can dry in approximately 30 minutes.

2. Power On: Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button to turn on the machine.
3. Cleaning Passes:
   
   • For a wet pass, press the spray trigger and make a slow forward and backward pass.
   • For a dry pass, release the spray trigger and make a slow forward and backward pass over the same area to extract the dirty water. Repeat dry passes until no more water is being extracted.

4. HeatWave Technology: The HeatWave Technology helps maintain the temperature of the water you put into the clean tank, ensuring effective cleaning throughout your session.
5. Empty Dirty Water Tank: When the dirty water tank reaches its MAX fill line, or when you notice a decrease in suction, turn off the machine and empty the dirty water tank.

Upholstery and Spot Cleaning

For cleaning upholstery, stairs, or hard-to-reach areas, use the included hose and specialized tools.

1. Attach Hose: Open the hose access door on the front of the machine and insert the hose until it clicks into place.
2. Attach Tool: Connect the desired tool (XL Crevice Tool or 8 cm Brush Tool) to the end of the hose.
3. Clean: Hold the tool slightly above the surface to be cleaned. Press the spray trigger to apply solution, then press the tool firmly against the surface and pull slowly towards you to extract. Release the trigger and repeat dry passes.
