Bissell 1699 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
For best results, a few simple steps can assure
your machine is well maintained after your
cleaning is complete.
1.
Turn Power and Heater switches OFF ( 0 ). Unplug
the machine and wrap the power cord.
2. After emptying the Water Tank, rinse it out at a
faucet with running hot tap water, taking care to
clean underneath the Heavy Duty Bladder, and all
around it. Clean out lint trap.
3. Replace the Tank in tank on the machine.
4. Clean out the flow indicator filter each time it is used
to ensure best cleaning performance. Unscrew the
Flow indicator cap, lift out the red rotor and white
filter. Rinse all three parts with water. Replace the
filter and rotor. Replace the Flow indicator cap. Turn
until snug, do not over-tighten.
5. Any loose hair or debris can be pulled from the
brush roll if desired and thrown away.
6. Wipe the machine’s exterior with a soft cloth.
7. After carpet is dry, vacuum again to remove hair and fuzz.
Some ProHeat models are equipped with a
Scotchgard Protector post treatment applicator and
cartridge. Using this, along with one of the BISSELL
cleaning formulas containing Scotchgard, helps
to retain the carpet cleanliness achieved with the
ProHeat machine. For best results, the post cleaning
treatment should be applied while the carpet is still
damp. It is recommended that the Scotchgard
protector be applied every 12 months to all clean
carpeted areas, and after every deep cleaning for high
traffic areas such as entry ways and stairs.
1.
Immediately after cleaning and rinsing your carpets,
empty the Water Tank and refill the Heavy Duty
Bladder with clean, hot tap water.
2. Set the Ready Tools dial to the Tools/Pretreat setting.
This will allow spray from the hose.
3. Purge the hose to eliminate cleaning solution from
the tube by spraying clean water through the hose
without attachments into a sink for 15-30 seconds.
4. Attach Scotchgard post-applicator cartridge to the
Applicator Tool, following the instructions on the
cartridge. Attach the combined Tool/Cartridge to
the hose. The water from the Tank in Tank will
automatically mix with the concentrated Scotchgard
post-treatment formula contained in the cartridge.
5. Turn the SmartMix Dial to the Water Rinse/Carpet
Protector setting.
