Operation of Carpet Cleaner 1400 Series

Getting ready

To fill the clean/solution tank.
1. Remove the tank by lifting it straight up and then away from the unit.
2. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the clean/solution tank.
3. Add BISSELL 2X Little Green Formula to the FORMULA fill line on the clean/solution tank.
  Fill the clean/Solution tank with hot (NOT boiling) tap water to the WATER fill line. Replace and tighten the black cap.
4. Replace the clean/solution tank by lining up the vertical guides on the left side of the unit with the indentations on the clean/solution tank and gently sliding it down into position.
Release vacuum flex hose by twisting the bracket latch clockwise. Unwrap vacuum flex hose com-pletely from around the unit.
Attach your selected cleaning tool to the spray trigger unit by pressing tool onto spray trigger firmly until the button lock snaps into hole. Make certain the tool is securely attached.
Twist the Quick Release cord wrap clockwise to unwrap the power cord completely from onboard cord storage and plug into 120 Volt, 60 Hz grounded outlet as described in Important safety Instructions.
Press power switch to ON position. If your model has a heater switch then press the red heater switch to “ON”. Within 30 seconds, the heat indicator light will illuminate, indicating the heater has reached the proper temperature. Begin by pressing the spray trigger for 5-10 seconds to allow the non-heated water to travel through the heater.
Press and hold spray trigger the spray will start in a few seconds. Raise the tool slightly to check for spray.

Pre-treating

Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or highly-soiled areas. Here’s how to do it:

Hold the cleaning tool just above the surface of the carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the trigger to release a spray of cleaning solution directly onto the soiled area.
Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.

WARNING
Be sure to unplug the cord before attaching the TurboBrush (select models only).

Hold the tool approximately 1” above the soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area.
Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the area to be cleaned.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, the switch should be in the “BRUSH” position. This activates the brush only.
For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution while the brush and suction are in contact with the surface.
Apply downward pressure on the tool and pull it toward you. The suction will remove the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.
Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the switch to the “SUCTION” position. This activates the suction to remove the dirt and cleaning solution. Move the switch back to the “BRUSH” position for additional brushing action.
As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary. Note: If using the TurboBrush, move the switch to the “SUCTION” position. This activates the suction to remove the dirt and cleaning solution.

IMPORTANT: Check the manufacturer’s tag before cleaning the upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your Little Green. If tag is coded with an “S” (with diagonal strike-through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. If the manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
Tip

Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on a regular basis can prolong carpet life.
Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.

Maintenance and care

After cleaning

Turn Power Switch to OFF position.
Unplug Power Cord from outlet.
Note: If a significant amount of Little Green formula/water remains, it is all right to leave it in the Clean/Solution Tank for your next cleaning task.
Empty and rinse the Dirty/Collection Tank after each use, OR when dirty water reaches the indicated maximum fill line. To remove the tank, lift up the Dirty/Collection Tank release latch and remove the tank from the unit.
Disconnect the cleaning tool from the spray trigger by pushing down on button lock and pulling straight off (DO NOT twist tools to remove them)
Once removed from the spray trigger, all tools can be cleaned by rinsing under clean running water. The TurboBrush tool’s switch must be in “SUCTION” position before rinsing under clean running water.
Check spray nozzle for accumulated dirt or debris. If necessary, clean with soft bristle brush.

Tip: Before turning off the Little Green, suction up clean water to thoroughly rinse out the interior of the flex hose. Then, lift the cleaning tool and point it upwards to drain any remaining water into the dirty/collection tank.

Machine storage

Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth.
Wrap power cord around the cord wrap on the back of the Little Green.
Wrap flex hose around the base of the unit and secure the spray trigger.
Store unit in protected, dry area, at room temperature (40ºF to 110ºF / 4ºC to 43ºC).
