Operating Instructions
Before cleaning, vacuum the area to remove any loose dirt or debris. For best results, pre-treat tough stains with BISSELL pre-treatment solutions.
- Power On: Press the red power button located on the top of the unit to turn on the cleaner.
- Spray Cleaning Solution: Hold the selected tool directly over the stained area. Press the spray trigger on the tool handle to release the cleaning solution onto the stain. Ensure the area is adequately saturated.
- Scrub the Stain: Gently scrub the stained area with the brush on the cleaning tool. Use back-and-forth motions to work the solution into the carpet or upholstery fibers.
- Vacuum the Dirty Water: Release the spray trigger and tilt the tool slightly to engage the suction nozzle. Slowly pull the tool over the treated area to vacuum up the dirty solution. Repeat this step until no more dirty water can be extracted.
- Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains, repeat steps 2-4 until the stain is removed.
Using Specialized Tools:
- 3-inch Tough Stain Tool: Ideal for general spot cleaning on carpets and upholstery.
- 3-in-1 Stair Tool: Designed to clean the outer curves, corners, and treads of carpeted staircases.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your cleaner.
- Empty and Rinse Dirty Water Tank: After each use, remove the dirty water tank from the unit. Open the tank and pour out the dirty water. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry before reattaching.
- Rinse Clean Water Tank: If there is any remaining solution, empty it and rinse the clean water tank with fresh water.
- Clean Tools and Hose:
