2. Operating Instructions

The BISSELL Little Green HydroSteam offers three distinct cleaning modes to effectively tackle various types of messes on multiple surfaces.

Cleaning Modes:

• SteamWash Mode: Ideal for tough, oily messes. This mode combines steam, powerful suction, and the OXY formula for enhanced cleaning performance.
• Steam Mode: Use for refreshing upholstery, cleaning tile and grout, and other hard surfaces. This mode provides steam only for sanitization and light cleaning.
• Wash Mode: Designed for enzyme-based stains, such as pet accidents. This mode utilizes the cleaning solution and suction without steam.

Multi-Surface Versatility:

This cleaner is versatile, suitable for carpets, upholstery, stairs, auto interiors, tile, grout, and even sneakers.

• 5" Tough Stain Tool: Excellent for tackling stains and dirt on carpets, upholstery, stairs, and vehicle interiors.
• Multi-Surface Tool: Unlocks hard surface cleaning capabilities, effective for tile, grout, and sneakers.

Cleaning Process:

1. Select the appropriate cleaning mode based on the surface and type of mess.
2. Press the trigger on the cleaning tool to dispense solution and steam (if applicable) while moving the tool slowly over the stained area.
3. Release the trigger and move the tool slowly over the same area to suction up the dirty solution. Repeat as necessary until the area is clean.
4. For best results and faster drying, make additional dry passes over the cleaned area to remove as much moisture as possible. Upholstery can dry in approximately 25 minutes.

The included BISSELL PET PRO OXY Spot & Stain Urine Eliminator with StainProtect formula is designed for permanent stain removal and preventing future stains, offering a triple action formula to remove tough stains, eliminate odors, and protect surfaces.

3. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your BISSELL Little Green HydroSteam cleaner.

• Empty and Rinse Dirty Water Tank: After each use, empty the dirty water tank and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. This prevents odor buildup and ensures hygienic operation.
• Rinse Clean Water Tank: If any solution remains in the clean water tank after use, empty it and rinse the tank. Do not store mixed solution in the tank for extended periods.
• Clean Tools and Hose: Detach the cleaning tools and rinse them under running water. Periodically check the hose for any clogs, especially from hair or debris, and clean as necessary. Some users report that the hose may clog at the end where it connects to the machine, which can be cleaned by removing two screws.
• Wipe Down Unit: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the machine.
• Store Properly: Store the cleaner in a dry, protected area. Ensure the hose and tools are neatly wrapped or stored to prevent damage.

4. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BISSELL Little Green HydroSteam cleaner, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker if necessary.
• No Suction: Verify that the dirty water tank is properly seated and sealed. Check the hose and tools for any blockages or clogs. Ensure the clean water tank has solution.
• No Spray/Steam: Confirm that the clean water tank is filled with water and solution. Check if the spray nozzle on the tool is clogged. For steam mode, allow sufficient time for the unit to heat up.
• Leaking: Ensure all tanks and tools are securely attached and that seals are intact. Do not overfill the clean water tank.
• Reduced Performance: Clean the dirty water tank, hose, and tools thoroughly. Ensure you are using the correct cleaning mode for the task.
