how to use this guide  
WARNING:  
This user’s guide has been designed to help

BISSELL deep cleaner. You’ll find assembly  
and operating instructions, safety precautions,  
as well as maintenance and troubleshooting  
instructions. Please read this user’s guide  
thoroughly before assembling your deep  
cleaner.  
Do not plug in your cleaner  
until you have completely  
assembled it per the  
following instructions  
and are familiar with all  
instructions and operating  
procedures.  
Your deep cleaner comes in three easy to  
assemble components:  
Tip: Deep cleaning carpeting  
regularly can reduce dust and allergens  
in your home.  
• Handle assembly  
• Upper body assembly  
• Lower body assembly  
Three Phillips head screws are also included and  
can be found taped to handle assembly.  
1.  
2.  
Assembly  
The only tool you will need to assemble your  
cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.  
1. Slide upper body assembly onto lower body  
and secure with two screws.  
2. Slide handle assembly down into upper body  
until it will go no further and secure with  
screw.  
Special features of your BISSELL deep cleaner  
Your BISSELL deep cleaner is a home cleaning  
system that uses a combination of hand hot tap  
water, BISSELL advanced cleaning formula, brush  
agitation and suction to safely clean carpets.  
DirtLifterPowerBrush  
WARNING:  
To reduce the riskoffire,use only  
BISSELL advanced deep cleaning  
formula for full size machines in your  
deepcleaner.Use ofcleaning  
The DirtLifter PowerBrush is designed to  
enhance cleaning performance. The bristle  
pattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt while  
gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating  
suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights.  
When the power is ON ( I ) and the machine is  
in the upright position, your carpet is protected  
because the brushes are lifted up off the carpet.

Special features of your BISSELL deep cleaner  
Measuring cup  
Your deep cleaner is equipped with a measuring  
cup for adding the proper amount of formula  
to the 2-in-1 water tank. For convenience the  
measuring cup is built into the lid of the 2-in-1  
water tank.  
Measuring Cup  
2-in-1 water tank  
Carry Handle  
Our 2-in-1 water tank system is designed with a  
heavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As you  
clean, the clean water in the bladder will empty  
and mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty water  
pulled out of your carpets will collect around the  
outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty  
water are always kept separate. This allows the  
user to maximize tank space, yet only carry one  
tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.  
ATTENTION:  
Some Berber carpets have a  
tendency to fuzz with wear.  
Repeated strokes in the same  
area with an ordinary vacuum or  
deep cleaner may aggravate this  
condition.  
Operation  
Before you clean  
1. Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.  
2. Move furniture to another area if cleaning  
an entire room (optional).  
3. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleaner  
before deep cleaning.  
4. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It  
is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest  
from your exit.
