GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper

connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the

outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

Assembly

•Handle assembly

•Upper body assembly

•Lower body assembly

Three Phillips head screws are also included and can be found taped to handle assembly.

The only tool you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips head screwdriver.

1.Slide upper body assembly onto lower body and secure with two screws.

2.Slide handle assembly down into upper body until it will go no further and secure with screw.

Warning:

Do not plug in your cleaner until you have completely assembled it per the following instructions

and are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

Special features

BISSELL deep cleaner is a home cleaning system that uses a combination of hot tap water, BISSELL advanced cleaning formula, brush agitation and suction to safely clean carpets.

DirtLifter® PowerBrush

The DirtLifter PowerBrush is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights. When the power is ON ( I ) and the machine is in the upright position, your carpet is protected because the brushes are lifted up off the carpet.

Measuring cup

Your deep cleaner is equipped with a measuring cup for adding the proper amount of formula to the 2-in-1 tank. For convenience the measuring cup 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 a heavy duty bladder inside for clean water. As you clean, the clean water in the bladder will empty and mix with the cleaning formula. Dirty water pulled out of your carpets will collect around the outside of the bladder so that clean and dirty water are always kept separate. This allows the user to maximize tank space, yet only carry one tank to and from the sink for emptying and filling.

w w w . b i s s e l l . c o m

Tip: Deep cleaning carpeting regularly can reduce dust and allergens in your home.

Warning:

To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL advanced deep cleaning formula for full size machines in your deep cleaner. Use of cleaning

formulas that contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your deep cleaner causing cracking or pitting.

What is deep cleaning and why is it worthwhile?
Deep cleaning is a carpet-cleaning process that loosens and removes most harmful dirt and gound-in grit, which may be deep down in your rugs and carpets. Not only does it protect the investment you have in your home, but parents of young children, pet owners and allergy sufferers may find deep cleaning especially beneficial. The Powersteamer is a home cleaning system that uses a combination of hot tap water, BISSELL advanced deep cleaning formula, and suction to safely clean carpet.

Why should I buy a BISSELL deep cleaning machine?
No other manufacturer of home deep cleaning machines is more experienced in the deep cleaning category. BISSELL deep cleaning machines are recognized as the high quality standard of the industry with ease of use, performance and durability engineered into each unit, every step of the way.

Are all deep cleaners properly equipped to clean an entire home?
No. Some deep cleaners are better suited to cleaning lightweight, everyday messes such as spills, spots and small areas. When purchasing a deep cleaner to clean your entire home, it is important to consider such features as the size of the clean and dirty water tanks, cleaning path width, machine durability and overall cleaning performance.

What other features should I consider when purchasing a deep cleaner?
It is important to choose a machine that is easy to use and fits your cleaning needs. Specific features to consider are: rotating brush design, power rating, number of cleaning attachments, styling, weight and warranty.
