Measuring cup
Your deep cleaner is equipped with a measuringcup for adding the proper amount of formula tothe 2-in-1 tank. For convenience the measuringcup is built into the lid of the 2-in-1 tank.
2-in-1 water tank
Our 2-in-1 water tank system is designed with aheavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As youclean, the clean water in the bladder will emptyand mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty waterpulled out of your carpets will collect around theoutside of the bladder so that clean and dirtywater are always kept separate. This allows theuser to maximize tank space, yet only carry onetank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.
Before you clean
1. Plan activities to give your carpet time to dry.2. Move furniture to another area if cleaning
an entire room (optional).
3. Vacuum area with a dry vacuum cleanerbefore deep cleaning.
4. Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. Itis best to begin cleaning in the corner farthestfrom your exit.
5. Pretreating (optional)Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning
effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high traffic
areas such as entry ways and hallways.
To pretreat:
A. Using the BISSELL Tough StainPre-cleaner, generously spray evenlyover soiled area, do not over wet.
B. Wait 3-5 minutes before deep cleaning.
C. Clean as normal using your BISSELL deepcleaner, following the instructions below.
