Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat 2X  
Your BISSELL ProHeat 2X deep cleaner is a home  
cleaning system that uses the power of heat,  
brushes and cleaning formula to get the deep  
down dirt for a maximum clean. Not only does it  
come with a lot of unique features, it has been  
designed with you, the customer, in mind.  
Built-in-Heater feature  
BISSELL ProHeat 2X models all feature a patented  
built-in heater which will heat the hot tap water  
you put in up to 25 degrees hotter to safely  
optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater  
will never allow the temperature to exceed 190  
degrees. The heater switch on the front of the  
machine controls the heater so you have the  
option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning  
delicate wool or oriental rugs.  
Dual DirtLifter® PowerBrushes  
The two DirtLifter PowerBrush rolls are  
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 and protects your carpet if  
you leave the power switch ON ( I ). Once the  
product is in the upright position, the brushes  
automatically stop spinning. The detent pedal  
will activate the brushes when floor cleaning.  
(located behind water tank)  
WATER  
®
Custom Clean  
The Custom Clean feature automatically mixes  
hot tap water with the BISSELL formula. Simply  
choose one of the 4 settings (heavy traffic,  
normal clean, light clean, or water rinse) and the  
ProHeat 2X will adjust the right amount of  
cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to  
fit your cleaning need.  
OR  
This feature is available on all ProHeat 2X  
models, either behind the 2-in-1 water tank or on  
the upper handle.  
Having a separate solution tank from the water  
tank also allows no waste of formula. Because the  
water and solution are stored separately, they are  
not mixed until you are ready to clean. When your  
cleaning job is finished, the formula can be stored  
ready to use in your machine for the next time!

Special features of your BISSELL ProHeat 2X  
Scotchgard Protector  
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically  
wears down over time from heavy foot traffic  
and everyday cleaning, including deep cleaning.  
To help restore this important protection, only  
BISSELL offers deep cleaning formulas with  
Scotchgard protector. This offers extra protection  
against dirt and tough stains to keep your carpets  
looking good longer.  
To maintain your Scotchgard 5-year limited stain  
warranty, you no longer are required to hire a  
professional. By using your BISSELL ProHeat  
machine with BISSELL formulas containing  
Scotchgard protector every 12 months, your carpet  
warranty from 3M remains in effect. No other home  
deep cleaning system can do this for you.  
2-in-1 water tank  
Our 2-in-1 water tank full capacity 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.  
Easy to remove and clean nozzle  
Now, cleaning up your machine after the  
cleaning process is easier than ever! Simply  
remove the 2-in-1 Tank and remove the screw  
to pop out the nozzle for rinsing in the sink. Dirt,  
loose carpet fibers and remaining pet hair or  
fuzz get washed away in a snap.  
ReadyTools™ dial  
This provides either floor cleaning or above floor  
cleaning with the turn of a knob. If choosing  
above floor cleaning for upholstery, stairs, or for  
those creases close to the baseboards, turn knob  
to "TOOLS" and choose the attachment  
appropriate for the job. Attach tool to the flex hose  
and you are ready to go. Be sure to turn knob  
back to "FLOOR CLEANING" when done.

Pretreating is recommended to improve cleaning  
effectiveness for heavily soiled carpet in high  
traffic areas such as entryways and hallways.

WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of fire and  
electric shock due to internal  
component damage, use only  
BISSELL cleaning fluids intended  
for use with the deep cleaner.  
Note: Your machine is equipped with a  
circuit breaker that will automatically shut  
off the brush if a large or loose object is  
caught in the brush roll. If that happens, be  
sure to unplug your machine, remove the  
foreign object, and then plug the machine  
back in to reset the circuit breaker.

Cleaning with attachments  
Your ProHeat 2X machine comes equipped with  
a hose and at least one attachment for cleaning  
stairs, upholstery, and more.  
1. Important! If using to clean upholstery, check  
upholstery tags.  
A. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.  
“W” or “WS” on the tag means you can  
use your ProHeat 2X. If the tag is coded  
with an “X” or an “S” (with a diagonal  
stripe through it), or says “Dry Clean Only”,  
do not proceed with any deep cleaning  
machine. Do not use on velvet or silk. If  
manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded,  
check with your furniture dealer.

Operations  
Stain removal  
Do Not Delay! Attending to an accident soon  
after it occurs ensures the most optimal clean.  
Leaving it for an extended period of time may  
cause it to set and become permanent.  
1. Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper  
towels. White materials are recommended  
because certain dyes may bleed and make the  
stain worse.  
2. Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon  
or spatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil  
with sharp edges because it could damage the  
carpet or upholstery.  
3. If the area has dried, remove the remaining  
semi-solids and residue with a sweeper or  
vacuum.  
4. Be sure to test any spot removal formulas in  
an inconspicuous area first. This is important  
as some dyes and materials could be dam-  
aged or discolored by cleaning solvents. If  
such a change should occur, try a different  
solution or call a professional.  
5. If cleaning on Berber carpeting, gently run  
your machine over a hidden area. If no fuzzing  
occurs, continue cleaning in soiled area.  
6. Using the BISSELL Tough Stain PreCleaner,  
spray evenly over soiled area. Do not over-  
wet. Wait 3-5 minutes. Gently work the  
solution by blotting area with a clean, damp,  
color safe cloth.  
7. Clean using either the FLOOR CLEANING, or  
TOOLS setting on the ReadyTools dial.

Hard floor cleaning  
Your ProHeat 2X model may have come with a  
hard floor attachment and Hard Floor Solutions  
Formula. If not, these products are available for  
purchase by contacting the BISSELL Consumer  
Services department by phone or at the website.  
The hard floor tool provides effective cleaning for  
linoleum, vinyl, and tile floors.  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock or injury  
unplug from outlet before  
servicing.  
Caution: Do not use on unsealed hardwood floors.  
1. Vacuum or sweep thoroughly to pick up any  
loose debris and pet hair.  
2. Move any furniture, if needed.  
3. Empty any carpet cleaning formula back into  
the BISSELL bottle if stored in the formula  
tank. Fill formula tank with BISSELL Hard  
Floor Solutions, available at many retailers,  
or contact BISSELL Consumer Services.  
4. Fill the 2-in-1 water tank with hot tap water  
and set aside.  
5. Attach the hard floor tool onto the bottom of  
the machine by hooking it into the nozzle and  
swinging it down until it clicks into place.  
5.  
6. Check ReadyTools dial. It should be set on  
floor cleaning.  
7. Set the Custom Clean dial to normal clean.  
8. Plug into an outlet and turn the power  
switch and heater ON ( I ).  
9. Slowly move the machine forward and back  
over hard floor surface one time while depress-  
ing trigger. Caution: Do not overwet.  
10. Repeat the motion without pressing the trig-  
ger using the hard floor tool to squeegee and  
suction up the dirty water.  
11. Allow adequate time for floors to dry.  
12. Remove hard floor tool, rinse and dry before  
storing.  
13. If any formula remains in the formula tank,  
pour it back into the Hard Floor Solutions  
bottle for use the next time.  
14. Rinse out the formula tank.

Maintenance and care  
Machine storage  
Once your cleaning is complete, make sure  
the 2-in-1 water tank is emptied, rinsed out,  
and dried before the next use. The formula  
tank can remain filled and ready to go, or it  
can simply be emptied back into the formula  
bottle if that is more convenient.  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock or injury  
unplug from outlet before  
servicing.  
Note: Store cleaner in a protected, dry area.  
Since this product uses water, it must not  
be stored where there is a danger of freez-  
ing. Freezing will damage internal compo-  
nents and void the warranty.  
Machine care  
For best results, a few simple steps can assure  
your machine is well maintained after your  
cleaning is complete.  
1. Turn power and heater switches OFF (O).  
Unplug the machine and wrap the power cord.  
2. After emptying the 2-in-1 water tank, rinse  
it out at a faucet with running hot tap water,  
taking care to clean underneath the heavy  
duty bladder, and all around it.  
3. The top half of the tank can be rinsed clean  
through the nozzle area. Also, pop out the red  
filter underneath the top half of the tank and  
rinse that out. Replace before putting the top  
and bottom halves of the tank together.  
3.  
Filter  
4. Before you place the cleaned 2-in-1 water  
tank back onto the machine, simply unscrew  
the floor nozzle using a Phillips head  
screwdriver. This can be rinsed out at the  
faucet. Then replace back onto the machine  
by starting from the bottom of the nozzle and  
hooking the tabs into the holes on the bottom  
sides of the machine. Secure into place with  
the screw.  
Tip:  
Let all parts dry completely  
before storing  
5. The inside of the end caps by the brush rolls  
can be wiped out with a clean paper towel,  
or, if a more thorough cleaning is desired, the  
end caps can be taken off using a Phillips  
head  
screwdriver and rinsed clean.  
Replace after cleaning.  
6. Any loose hair or debris can be pulled from the  
brush rolls and thrown away. For the most  
thorough clean before storage, follow directions  
on pages 17 & 18 for removal and replacement  
of the brush rolls and belts.
