Appliance Operation Warnings

• Unplug by grasping the plug, not the cord. Do not unplug by pulling the cord.
• Always connect to a properly grounded outlet; see grounding instructions.

Grounding Instructions

SAVE THESE 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.

[Diagram: Grounded Outlets with a Grounding Pin]

▲ WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren't sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

This model is for household use only.

Assembly

Assembling your Little Green PROheat is a simple process. The only thing you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.

4. Wrap Hose: Wrap the flex hose around the unit and place the hose grip into the bracket. Turn the bracket latch clockwise to lock in place. [Diagram: Shows the flex hose being wrapped around the unit and secured.]

Operations

Getting Ready

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. Using a standard liquid measuring cup (or cap on BISSELL 2X Compact cleaning formula), measure 4oz. of formula (2 caps full) and pour into the tank. Then fill with hot tap water to the WATER fill line. Replace and tighten the black cap. 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 slide it down into position.
2. Unwrap Hose: Unwrap vacuum flex hose completely from onboard hose storage.
3. Attach Tool: Attach your selected cleaning tool to the hose unit by pressing the tool firmly until the button lock snaps into the hole. Make certain the tool is securely attached.
4. Unwrap Cord: Twist the quick release cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord.
5. Plug In: Plug into a proper outlet.

Pre-treating

Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or highly-soiled areas. Here's how to do it:

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: Use only BISSELL 2X compact formulas in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil 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.

Cleaning with your Little Green PROheat

1. Turn the power/heater to the ON position. Wait 30 seconds before use to allow the heater to reach the proper temperature.
2. Hold the tool approximately 1" above the soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area. Raise the tool slightly to check for spray.
3. Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the area to be cleaned.
4. For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution while the brush and suction are in contact with the surface.
5. Apply downward pressure on the tool and pull it toward you. The suction will remove the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
6. As a final step, use "drying strokes" (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.

WARNING: Do not use an extension cord with this product. The use of an extension cord may result in a severe electrical shock, particularly if the extension cord does not have an electrical rating higher than that of the product, OR if the extension cord does not have a three-prong grounding plug and if the extension cord is not plugged into a circuit box with a ground fault circuit interrupter. Safety precautions such as keeping all connections off the ground and dry will not eliminate the danger.

Deep Reach Tool Attachment (Select Models Only)

1. Follow instructions 1-4 on page 5 "Getting ready".
2. Set tool on stain and press the trigger to spray solution onto the area to be cleaned. [Diagram: Shows the cleaning tool attached to the hose, spraying solution onto a surface.]
3. Slowly move the tool back and forth over the soiled surface, keeping the tool in contact with the carpet.
4. Release trigger and move tool slowly over the soiled area to suction up water and dirt. [Diagram: Shows the cleaning tool being moved back and forth over a surface to suction dirt and water.]
5. Continue to clean the area, working in small sections, until no more dirt can be removed.
6. Remove tool from hose when finished. Clean under warm water before storing. [Diagram: Shows the cleaning tool being removed from the hose by pressing a button.]

IMPORTANT: Check the manufacturer's tag before cleaning upholstery. "W" or "WS" on the tag means you can use your Little Green. If tag is coded with an "S" (with diagonal strike-through), or says "Dry Clean Only," do not proceed. If manufacturer's tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

Tip: Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on a regular basis can prolong carpet life.

Tip: Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.

Tip: If you would like to store an extra tool on-board, visit BISSELL.com or call Consumer Services at 1-800-237-7691 to purchase a tool clip holder.

Maintenance and Care

After Cleaning

4. Carry the dirty/collection tank to a toilet or sink to empty.
5. Rinse tank thoroughly.
6. Disconnect the cleaning tool from the spray trigger by pushing down on the button lock and pulling straight off (DO NOT twist tools to remove them).
7. Once removed from the spray trigger, all tools can be cleaned by rinsing under clean running water.
8. Check spray nozzle for accumulated dirt or debris. If necessary, clean with a soft bristle brush.

Machine Storage

1. Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth.
2. Wrap power cord around the cord wrap on the back of the unit.
