Bissell 1400 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Press Power Switch to ON Position.
NOTE: If your unit has a built-in heater (not stan-
dard on all models), first turn the black power
switch to “ON,” then the red heater switch to
“ON”. Within 30 seconds, the Heat Indicator light
will illuminate (# 5 in diagram), indicating the
heater has reached the proper temperature.
Begin use by depressing the Spray Trigger. Wait
5-10 seconds for the non-heated water to travel
through the Flex Hose, after which the heated
water and cleaning solution mixture are ready to
clean carpet or upholstery. See below for
detailed cleaning instructions.
Press and hold Spray Trigger—spray will start in a
few seconds. Raise the tool slightly to check for spray.
Hold the tool approximately 1” above the soiled surface.
Depress the Spray Trigger to apply the cleaning solution
to the soiled area.
Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the area to
be cleaned.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, the switch should
be in the “BRUSH” position. This activates the
brush only.
For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution, while
the brush and suction are in contact with the surface.
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.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the switch
to the “SUCTION” position. This activates the
suction to remove the dirt and cleaning solution.
Move the switch back to the “BRUSH” position
for additional brushing action.
As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not depressing
the Spray Trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture as
possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the switch
to the “SUCTION” position. This activates the
suction to remove the dirt and cleaning solution.

WARNING:
Be sure to unplug the
cord before attaching
the TurboBrush.

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.
