Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Cleaning Fluids

Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL® Cleaning Solution on hand so you can clean whenever it fits your schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and will void the warranty.

⚠️ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock due to internal component damage, use only BISSELL cleaning fluids intended for use with the deep cleaner.

⚠️ WARNING: Use only BISSELL portable machine formula in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon, pine oil or vinegar may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers also should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your cleaner, causing cracking or pitting.

Available Formulas:

• Professional Spot & Stain + Oxy
• Professional Pet Spot & Stain + Oxy

Assembly

Assembling your Little Green® is a simple process. The only tool you will need is a Phillips-head screwdriver ?.

1. Slide the back plate of the flex hose clip into the opening on the front of the unit. You will hear a "snap" when it is locked in place.
2. Take the flex hose storage bracket and slide the lower plate into the opening on the back of the unit. Make sure the screw holes line up.
3. Insert screw and tighten with a screwdriver ?.
4. Wrap the flex hose around the unit and place the hose grip into the bracket. Turn the bracket latch clockwise to lock it in place.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not plug in your portable deep cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Operations

Getting Ready

Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or highly-soiled areas.

1. To fill the clean water/solution tank:
   1. Remove the tank by lifting it straight up and then away from the unit.
   2. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the clean/solution tank.
   3. Follow the fill lines on your clean tank to add the correct amount of hot tap water (140°F/60°C MAX) and Professional Spot & Stain + Oxy portable machine formula (see page 4 for list of formulas). If you are using a BISSELL portable machine formula that does not have OXY, follow the instructions above and add 1oz BISSELL OXY BOOST to the formula tank for optimal cleaning. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE WATER.
   4. Replace the clean/solution tank by lining up the vertical guides on the left side of the unit with the indentations on the clean/solution tank and gently sliding it down into position.

Pre-treating

1. Hold the cleaning tool just above the surface of the carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the trigger to release a spray of cleaning solution directly onto the soiled area.
2. Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.

⚠️ WARNING: Keep spray away from face. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

Cleaning with the Tough Stain Tool

1. Attach the 3" Tough Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose.
2. Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it on.
3. Hold the tool 1 inch above soiled surface.
4. Press the spray trigger to mist solution over and onto the soiled area.
5. Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain.
6. To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Watch as powerful suction removes the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
7. As a final step, use "drying strokes" (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.

Cleaning with the HydroRinse™ Tool

1. Attach the HydroRinse™ tool to the cleaning hose.
2. Hold the hose and attachment in an upright position. Then hold down the trigger to rinse the hose for 30 seconds.
3. The HydroRinse tool can be stored on the right handle or on the hose in between use.

Tips

• Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on a regular basis helps prolong carpet life.
• Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.
• If a significant amount of water and solution remains in the clean tank, your unit can be stored with liquid in the clean tank.

Maintenance & Care

After Cleaning

1. Turn power switch to OFF position.
2. Unplug power cord from outlet.
3. Empty and rinse the dirty/collection tank after each use, OR when dirty water reaches the indicated maximum fill line. To remove the tank, lift up the dirty/collection tank retainer lever and remove the tank from the unit.
4. Disconnect the cleaning tool from the spray trigger by pushing down on button lock and pulling straight off (DO NOT twist tools to remove them).
5. Once removed from the spray trigger, all tools can be cleaned by rinsing under clean running water.
6. Check spray nozzle for accumulated dirt or debris. If necessary, clean with soft bristle brush.
7. To flush the tools and hose before storage, suction up a bowl of clean water to ensure all debris are removed.

⚠️ WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

Machine Storage

1. Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth.
2. Wrap power cord around the cord wrap on the back of the Little Green.
3. Wrap flex hose around the base of the unit and secure the spray trigger.
4. Store unit in protected, dry area, at room temperature.
