Bissell 1699 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
1. Remove the Water Tank from the base using the Tank
Carry Handle. Carry the Tank like a bucket to a utility
sink or outside where you will dispose of the collection
water. Remove the top of the Tank by rotating the
handle forward to unlatch lid and lifting lid off tank.
2. Empty collection water from bottom of tank.
NOTE: You may notice hair & debris deposits
on the carpet or in the Tank that were
loosened by the cleaning action (especially
with newer carpets that have never been
deep cleaned before). This debris should be
picked up and thrown away.
3. After each use, remove and rinse the lint screen
located on the Tank lid.
4. Refill the Tank in tank by referencing “Fill the
Water Tank” on page 9. Remember to secure the
top of the Tank by rotating the handle and test to
make sure it is secure before picking up.
5. Return Tank-in-Tank to the machine.
NOTE: Always check the level of cleaning
formula in the SmartMix Tank at the same
time, and refill as needed.
Rinsing is an optional step that can be done
during the cleaning process by switching to the
Water Rinse setting, or it can be done after the
carpeted area has been cleaned.
1.
Simply choose the Water Rinse setting on the
SmartMix Dial, and follow the same path as you
did for cleaning, taking care to do a forward (wet)
stroke by depressing the trigger, a backward (wet)
stroke, and a forward and backward (dry) stroke,
releasing the trigger. Continue this until the water
you see coming up the nozzle is clear.
Once your cleaning is complete, make sure the
Water Tank is emptied and rinsed out. Put the
unit away in a closet or basement for the next
use. The SmartMix Tank can remain filled and
ready to go (store with machine set to Water
Rinse setting), or it can simply be emptied back
into the formula bottle if that is more convenient.
Note: Store cleaner in a protected, dry area.
Since this product uses water, it must not be
stored where there is a danger of freezing.
Freezing will damage internal components
and void the warranty.
