Operation
Carpet cleaning (Continued)
6. (Continued) Release the trigger and make
one slow forward and backward pass over
the same area to remove any residual dirty
water and aid in drying. Repeat cleaning
passes until solution being pulled up
appears clean. Continue passes without
pressing the trigger until you can’t see any
more water being pulled up. After cleaning,
you may want to turn the Custom Clean dial
to rinse to give your carpeting a final water
only rinse. This will ensure thorough removal
of embedded dirt loosened by the deep
cleaning formula. BISSELL deep cleaning
formulas contain an anti-resoiling agent that
helps your carpets repel dirt and keeps them
looking good longer.
7. Remove the tank from the base of the
machine by lifting up on the tank carry
handle. Carry like a bucket to a utility sink or
outside where you will dispose of the dirty
water.
7a. Unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by
lifting up on the tank latch which is located on the
back of the tank.
7b. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up on the
handle.
Note how the lip on the top tank separates
from the groove in the bottom tank. This
placement is important when putting the
tank back together.
7c. Lift the bottom portion of the tank; pour out dirty
water toward the sink through the triangular
shaped opening in the corner of the 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.
7d. Fill the heavy duty bladder with clean hot tap
water, following instructions 1c through 1e on
pages 9 and 10.
Note: Remember to secure the tank latch in
the back and test to make sure it is secure
before picking up the tank. Always check
the level of cleaning formula in the formula
tank at the same time, and refill as needed.
Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL Fiber
Cleansing Formula
on hand so you
can clean whenever it fits your
schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL
deep cleaning formulas. Non-BISSELL
cleaning solutions may harm the
machine and void the warranty.
