WARNING: DirtLifter® PowerBrush The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibres. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch ON. When the machine handle is in the fully upright position, CarpetSaver ™ automatically raises the brush off the carpet.
Use only BISSELL cleaning formulas in your POWERSTEAMER ® PRO.™ Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your POWERSTEAMER ® PRO,™ causing cracking or pitting.
Tank-in-Tank ™ is easy to use It is designed with a bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty water collects in the tank outside the bladder. 1. Step on handle release to lay the machine handle down out of the way. 2. Lift the Tank-in-Tank ™ handle. The handle locks the lid in place. 3. Carry it like a bucket to fill at the sink.
Tilt Handle Back
Handle Release Lift and Carry
NOTE: Both the SmartMix® Bottle and the clean water tank must have liquid in them in order for the machine to spray. If one tank is empty the machine will not apply either cleaning solution or water only. If you’re using the WATER ONLY setting, fill the SmartMix® Bottle with water also.
