    Your BISSELL PowerSteamer is a home cleaningsystem that uses a combination of hot tap water,

    BISSELL advanced cleaning formula and suctionto safely clean carpets and upholstery.

    DirtLifter PowerBrush

    The DirtLifter PowerBrush is designed toenhance cleaning performance. The bristlepattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt whilegently grooming carpet fibers. The floatingsuspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights.When the power is ON ( I ) and the machine is

    in the upright position, your carpet is protectedbecause the brushes are lifted up off the carpet.

    SmartMix

    The SmartMix feature automatically mixes hottap water with the BISSELL advanced cleaningformula. Simply choose one of the 3 settings(high traffic, normal, or water only) and thePowerSteamer will adjust the right amount ofcleaning solution to mix with the water to fityour cleaning need.

    Having a separate solution tank from thewater tank allows no waste of formula.Because the water and solution are storedseparately, they are not mixed until you areready to clean. When your cleaning job isfinished, the formula can be stored ready touse in your machine for the next time!

    2-in-1 water tank

    Our 2-in-1 water tank system is designed with aheavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As youclean, the clean water in the bladder will emptyand mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty waterpulled out of your carpets will collect around theoutside of the bladder so that clean and dirtywater are always kept separate. This allows theuser to maximize tank space, yet only carry onetank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.

    Your PowerSteamer machine comes equippedwith a hose and at least one attachment for

    cleaning stairs, upholstery, and more.1. Important! If using to clean Upholstery, check

    Upholstery Tags.

    A. Check manufacturers tag before cleaning.

    W or WS on the tag means you can

    use your PowerSteamer. If the tag is coded

    with an X or an S (with a diagonal stripe

    through it), or says Dry Clean Only, do not

    proceed with any deep cleaning machine. Do

    not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturers

    tag is missing or not coded, check with yourfurniture dealer.

    B. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.

    C. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored

    stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.

    D. Plan activities to allow upholstery time to dry.

    E. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and

    pet hair. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment

    and a crevice tool to clean in fabric folds.

    2. Follow the instructions on page 9 for filling the

    2-in-1 water tank and the formula tank.3. Set ready tools dial to the tools or pretreat setting. Thiswill allow spray and divert the suction to the hose.

    4. Set SmartMix dial to normal.5. Attach the cleaning tool to the end of the hose.6. Plug in and turn on the power switch.7. Clean by pressing the trigger to spray solution

    onto the area to be cleaned. Slowly move the tool

    back and forth over the soiled surface. Release

    the trigger to suction soiled water. Continue to

    clean in the area, working in small sections, until

    no more dirt can be removed. Rinse (optional) and

    suction as needed. Caution: Do no overwet.

    8. When cleaning is complete, remove and rinsetools in clean, running water.

    9. Coil hose around the tool caddy.10. Empty 2-in-1 water tank and rinse out, following

    Cleaning fluid section

    Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL Fiber CleansingFormula on hand so you can clean and protectwhenever it fits your schedule. Always usegenuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas.

    Stain removal

    Do not delay! Attending to an accident soon afterit occurs ensures the chances for full removal.Leaving it for an extended period of time maycause it to set and become permanent.

    1. Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or papertowels. White materials are recommended because

    certain dyes may bleed and make the stain worse.

    2. Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon orspatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil with

    sharp edges because it could damage the carpet

    or upholstery.3. If the area has dried, remove the remaining

    semi-solids and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.

    4. Be sure to test any spot removal formulas in aninconspicuous area first. This is important as some

    dyes and materials could be damaged or discolored

    by cleaning solvents. If such a change should occur,

    try a different solution or call a professional.

    5. If cleaning on Berber carpeting, gently run yourmachine over a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs,

    continue cleaning in soiled area.6. Using the BISSELL Tough Stain PreCleaner, sprayevenly over soiled area. Do not overwet. Wait 3-5

    minutes. Gently work the solution by blotting area

    with a clean, damp, color safe cloth.

    7. Clean using either the floor cleaning, or tools orpretreat setting on the ready tools dial.

    Cleaning Fluid SectionWARNING:To reduce the risk of fireand electric shock due tointernal component damage,use only BISSELL cleaningfluids intended for use withthe deep cleaner. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutionsmay harm the machine andvoid the warranty.
