The Flow Indicator

This is located on the machine base. It spins when the trigger is pressed to indicate that the machine is applying cleaning solution to the floor. It will stop spinning to indicate that the SmartMix tank or bladder needs to be refilled, or when the trigger is released. If the flow indicator is not spinning, check to make sure the unit is set on Floor Cleaning setting.

ReadyToolsDial

This provides above floor cleaning with the turn of a dial. Just choose the cleaning tool, attach to the flex hose and PowerSteamer® Prois ready to clean upholstery and more.*

*Set the switch to Floor Cleaning when cleaning carpets or bare floors or set it to Tools/PreTreat when using the flex hose attachments or for pre-treating floors.

Tip:

Thorough vacuuming before deep cleaning will prevent early clogging of the

lint trap.

Tip:

A special red float device in the tank will cause the cleaner to stop removing solution from the carpet and the motor sound will rise in pitch to let you know the dirty water tank is full.

Tip:

Try pre-treating stairs or entry ways with BISSELL Tough Stain PreCleaner. Then deep clean with SmartMix dial set to High Traffic.

How To Clean Carpet

1.Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.

2.Remove easily moved furniture from the room (chairs, lamps, coffee tables, etc).

3.Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair before using the PowerSteamer Pro.

4.Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to begin cleaning in the corner farthest from your exit.
