If the flow indicator is not spinning, check to make sure the unit is set on Floor Cleaning setting.

Thorough vacuuming before deep cleaning will prevent early clogging of the

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.

This design prevents damage to carpets and upholstery, making it safe for a variety of surfaces.
