Cleaning the Machine

1. To remove the Dirty Water Tank, pull the top of the tank to the right. Pull the tab on the tank plug to open.
2. Carefully empty the Dirty Water Tank, as some water may enter/drain from the center float stack.
3. The float stack can be removed from the Dirty Water Tank for cleaning. Turn the cap counter-clockwise to remove it. Then pull the float stack outward to remove it from the tank.
4. Rinse with water until all debris is removed and let air dry.
5. Return the float stack to the Dirty Water Tank. Ensure all pieces are assembled as shown. Screw the cap back on clockwise until tightened.
6. Close the tank plug and replace the tank on the machine. Push the top of the tank into place until you hear a “click”.

Cleaning the Tools

1. To disconnect the cleaning tools, push down on the button above the hose grip and pull straight off. Do not twist the tool to remove it.
2. The front cover of most tools can be removed for easy cleaning. If so, you will see a button on the top of the tool that will allow you to slide the tool cover off. Rinse with water and air dry.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power OFF and disconnect from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting.

Thermal Protector

An internal thermal protector is designed into your portable carpet cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the suction motor will stop operating. If this happens, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the machine OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check the end of the hose and tool for blockages and remove if necessary. Check the float stack for clogs and remove debris.
3. Let the motor cool for approximately 30 minutes. The thermal protector will automatically reset, and cleaning may continue once plugged back in.

Note: If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL Consumer Care or visit the website.

Storing Your Machine

Store the machine in a protected, dry area at room temperature (4° C - 40° C).

NOTICE: To reduce the risk of a leaking condition, do not store the machine where freezing may occur. Damage to internal components may result.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power OFF and disconnect from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting.
