Clean as normal using your BISSELL deep cleaner.

When finished, replace nozzle by slightly raising front of machine to line up slots on the base with the hooks on nozzle. Attach at base first and then click nozzle into place.
NOTE: If nozzle is not attached properly loss of suction will occur.
Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use this deep cleaner. If the tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

Maintenance & Care

Machine care

For best results, a few simple steps can assure your machine is well maintained after cleaning is complete.

Turn power switch off. Unplug the machine and wrap the power cord.
After emptying the 2-in-1 water tank, rinse it with running hot tap water, taking care to clean underneath and around the heavy duty bladder. Clean out red lint screen prior to replacing tank. Removable nozzle may be rinsed if necessary.
Replace the 2-in-1 water tank on the machine.
Any loose hair or debris can be pulled from the brush roll and thrown away.
Clean the Ready Tools dial assembly area by following instructions in Step 15-17 on page 9.
To clean attachments, remove from hose and rinse in clean, running water. Dry before storing. Clean the hose by suctioning clean water from the tap (taking care not to let the tank overflow). Before wrapping back on machine, lift end of hose and stretch out to ensure all water is cleared from hose. Refer to page 9, illustrations 11 and 12.
Wipe the machine’s exterior with a soft cloth.
After carpet is dry, you may wish to vacuum again to remove any leftover hair and fuzz the deep cleaner may have brought to the carpet surface.

Machine storage

Put the unit away in a closet or basement for the next use. Store cleaner in a protected, dry area. Since this product uses water, it must not be stored where there is a danger of freezing. Freezing will damage internal components and void the warranty.

Belt Replacement Instructions

Turn off the machine and unplug it from the outlet. Wrap hose and cord on wraps.
Remove the 2-in-1 water tank and set aside.
IMPORTANT: Fully recline handle and turn unit upside down.
Locate red Belt Access Door and remove two screws.
NOTE: The dark screw is a long machine screw and will take several turns (approximately 25) to completely remove. The head of the screw will lift from the belt access door so that it can be easily removed.
Pull the belt access door away from the brush and remove the belt access door and end cap and set aside.
Remove brush belt from end of brush and set aside. Check for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Check motor belt for damage. If necessary, replace the motor belt by pinching the belt at one end to make a large loop then attaching the motor belt to the silver motor shaft first and attaching to the larger red pulley.
NOTE: Spinning the red pulley a few times will help center the belt and ensure correct assembly.
If necessary, the brush may be removed for cleaning. Rotate the brush out of the brush housing and pull the brush off the axle attached to the remaining end cap. The remaining pivot arm can be removed by removing the screw
(this will allow for full access to the brush chamber for cleaning and proper maintenance). Make sure the “keyed” end of the metal rod is aligned with the slot in the pivot arm before reassembly. Rinse the brush under running water and remove any hair, carpet fibers, or other debris that may have become wrapped around the brush or stuck in the bristles. Allow the brush to dry and replace it on the axle, cogged-side last. You may need to rotate the brush to allow it to slide all the way down the axle.
Reattach brush belt.
Reattach Belt Access Door assembly to end of brush and rotate back into place. Replace screws.

NOTE: Do not over tighten screws.
