Setup

Before first use, ensure all components are present and properly assembled.

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the cleaner and all accessories from the packaging. Verify you have the main unit, hose with attached cleaning tool, Self-Cleaning Tough Stain Tool, Pet Hair Removal Tool, and Crevice Tool.
  2. Fill Clean Water Tank: Locate the clean water tank (usually marked "MAX" or with a fill line for water and formula). Remove the tank from the unit. Unscrew the cap and fill with hot tap water up to the water fill line. Add BISSELL PET PRO OXY Spot and Stain formula up to the formula fill line. Securely replace the cap and reinsert the tank into the unit.
  3. Attach Cleaning Tool: Connect the desired cleaning tool (e.g., Tough Stain Tool) to the end of the hose until it clicks securely into place.
  4. Power Connection: Unwind the power cord and plug the cleaner into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective cleaning on various surfaces.

General Cleaning Steps:

  1. Pre-Treat (Optional): For heavily soiled areas, pre-treat the stain with BISSELL PET PRO OXY Spot and Stain formula. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before cleaning.
  2. Spray Solution: Hold the cleaning tool about one inch above the soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to apply cleaning solution.
  3. Scrub and Suction: While continuing to press the spray trigger, slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled area. Release the trigger and slowly move the tool over the same area to suction up the dirty solution. Repeat until the area is clean and no more dirty solution is being picked up.
  4. Rinse (Optional): For best results, fill the clean water tank with only hot tap water (no formula) and repeat the suction step to rinse the area.
  5. Drying: Allow the cleaned area to dry completely before walking on it or placing furniture back.
