Operating Instructions
To effectively clean stains and messes, follow these operating steps:
- Turn On the Unit: Press the power button located on the top of the unit to turn it on.
- Spray Cleaning Solution: Hold the attached tool directly over the stain. Press the trigger on the tool to spray the cleaning solution onto the stained area. Allow the solution to penetrate the stain for a few minutes, as recommended by the formula instructions.
- Scrub the Stain: Use the bristles on the tool to gently scrub the stained surface. For tougher stains, apply more pressure and scrub in multiple directions.
- Suction the Liquid: Release the spray trigger and tilt the tool slightly to engage the suction nozzle. Pull the tool slowly over the treated area to extract the dirty liquid. Repeat this step until no more dirty liquid is being removed and the area feels as dry as possible.
- Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains, repeat the spray, scrub, and suction process until the stain is completely removed.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cleaner:
- Empty and Rinse Dirty Water Tank: After each use, remove the dirty water tank. Unlock and remove the lid by rotating the handle fully back. Empty the dirty water and rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Allow it to air dry before reattaching.
- Clean Tools: Detach the cleaning tool from the hose. Use the HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Hose Tool by attaching it to the hose and placing it into a sink or bucket. Turn on the unit and press the trigger to flush clean water through the hose and tool, removing any residue. Rinse the 4" Tough Stain Tool under running water.
- Wipe Down Unit: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place. The compact design allows for convenient storage in small spaces like cabinets or closets. Ensure the hose is wrapped neatly around the base of the unit.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BISSELL Little Green Mini, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Suction: Check if the dirty water tank is properly seated and sealed. Ensure the cleaning tool is firmly attached to the hose. Verify that the dirty water tank is not full.
- No Spray: Ensure the clean water tank is filled with water and formula. Check if the clean water tank is properly seated. Verify that the spray trigger on the tool is being pressed.
- Unit Not Turning On: Confirm the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power button is in the 'On' position.
- Poor Cleaning Results: Ensure you are using the correct BISSELL cleaning formula. Allow the formula sufficient time to penetrate the stain before scrubbing and suctioning. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary.
