Special Features of your BISSELL ProHeat® Pro-Tech®  
The BISSELL SmartClean® System  
The ProHeat Pro-Tech is a home cleaning system that automatically  
mixes hot tap water with Fiber Cleansing Formula and heats the  
solution as it is applied to the carpet. The combination of heated  
cleaning solution, powered brush and suction provide a safe and  
effective method of cleaning.  
SmartTemp®  
Temperature control automatically heats the cleaning solution  
as it is being applied to the carpet (*) to safely optimize  
cleaning effectiveness.  
SmartTemp Ready Light  
The Power Switch controls power to the machine; both  
switches must be ON for SmartTemp to work.

Water Rinse / Carpet Protector - use for gentle  
cleaning or for the final rinse after cleaning. This  
setting must also be used when applying the carpet  
protectant through the applicator, to prevent the  
pump from temporarily losing its prime.  
SmartMix  
Dial  
Normal- automatically provides the best mix of  
water and concentrate for most cleaning jobs.  
High Traffic- automatically mixes the right amount  
of water and concentrate to dissolve tough grime  
and heavy soil. Note: Residual cleaning materials left  
in carpet from other products may cause excessive  
foaming when picked up. If foam is overflowing  
tank, move SmartMix dial to “Water Only” position  
until the condition stops.  
Tip:  
Deep Cleaning  
stairs and high  
traffic areas on a  
regular basis and  
using the carpet  
protectant can  
prolong carpet  
life.  
Note: Both the SmartMix Bottle and the clean  
water tank must have liquid in them in  
order for the machine to spray. If one tank  
is empty, the machine will temporarily  
lose its prime and not apply either  
cleaning solution or water only.  
Important: If you are using the WATER RINSE /  
CARPET PROTECTANT setting, fill the Smart  
Mix bottle with water also!  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of fire,  
use only BISSELL Deep  
Cleaning Formula for full  
size machines in your  
ProHeat Pro-Tech. Use of  
cleaning formulas which  
contain lemon or pine oil  
may damage this appli-  
ance and void  
DirtLifter® PowerBrush  
warranty. Chemical spot  
cleaners or solvent based  
soil removers should not  
be used. These products  
may react with the plastic  
materials used in your  
ProHeat Pro-Tech, causing  
cracking or pitting.  
The powered brush roll at the floor nozzle is designed to  
enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern 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. When the  
machine handle is in the fully upright position, Carpet Saver™  
automatically raises the brush off the carpet.  
Tank-in-Tank™  
Our Tank-in-Tank system is designed with a bladder inside for  
clean water. As you clean, the bladder will empty. Dirty water  
collects in the tank outside the bladder.  
Step on handle release to lay the machine handle  
down out of the way.

The Flow Indicator  
Tip:  
The Flow Indicator 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 bottle or bladder needs to be refilled, or when the trigger  
is released. Flow Indicator does not spin when set to Tool setting.

vacuuming

BERBER CARPET  
OWNERS:  
Some Berber Carpets have a  
tendency to fuzz with wear.  
Repeated strokes in the  
same area with an ordinary  
vacuum or deep cleaner may  
aggravate this condition.  
Please see Stain Removal  
instructions on page 12.  
Note: Take care not to run over loose objects or  
edges of area rugs. Stalling brush may  
result in premature belt failure.  
Release the trigger and make one slow forward and back  
pass over the same area to remove any residual dirty water.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Repeat cleaning passes until solution being pulled up  
appears clean.  
Continue passes without pressing the trigger until you  
can’t see any more water being pulled up.  
Note: Both the SmartMix and the clean water  
tank must have liquid in them in order for  
the machine to spray. If one tank is empty  
the machine will not apply either cleaning  
solution or water only.  
After cleaning, you may want to turn the SmartMix dial to  
the Water Rinse/Carpet Protector setting to give your  
carpeting a final rinse. This will ensure thorough removal  
of embedded dirt loosened by the Advanced Deep  
Cleaning Formula. BISSELL Advanced Cleansing  
Formulas contains an anti-resoiling agent that helps your  
carpets repel dirt and keeps them looking good longer.

Stain Removal  
Do Not Delay! Failure to attend to an accident soon after it occurs  
may cause it to set and become permanent.  
Before treating any stain, follow these pre-treatment steps:  
Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels.  
White materials are recommended because certain dyes  
1.  
may bleed and make the stain worse.  
Gently scrape up semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do  
not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges  
2.  
because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.  
If the area has dried, remove the remaining semi-solids  
and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.  
3.  
Be sure to pre-test any spot removal solutions or chemicals  
on an inconspicuous area first. This is extremely  
4.  
important; different dyes and materials could be damaged  
or discolored by a cleaning solution. If such a change  
should occur, try a different solution or call a professional. If  
cleaning on Berber Carpet gently run your machine over  
a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in  
soiled area.  
Use one of the following methods to Preclean the stain:  
Using BISSELL Tough Stain Precleaner, generously  
spray the area with the formula. Gently work the solution  
5.  
with a clean cloth or towel into the area using light  
strokes from the edges of the stain to the center. When  
your cloth reaches the center of the stain, gently pinch it  
in an upward motion. Make sure to turn and change your  
cloth frequently and do not rub the stain. You may repeat  
this process several times.  
or  
Use your BISSELL deep cleaner as a Precleaner. With  
one of the tools attached to hose, set the Ready Tools  
dial to Pretreat and the Smart Mix dial to the High Traffic  
setting. Spray the area with solution and allow the Deep  
Cleaning formula to penetrate for 3-5 minutes.  
Once the Precleaning is complete, use the attached tool  
to gently scrub the stain with back and forth strokes.  
6.  
Allow to dry. Some difficult stains may require a second  
treatment.

Perfect Pass™  
(Available on select models only)  
The Perfect Pass feature is designed to help you achieve the best  
cleaning results when deep cleaning.  
Apply smooth even strokes when deep cleaning your  
carpets. An upright deep cleaner should not be used at  
the same speed as an ordinary vacuum. That is too fast  
for optimum cleaning results.  
The Perfect Pass indicator displays a red light which tells  
you if you are in the range of Best Cleaning or if you  
are going Too Fast. If you notice consistently that the  
indicator light is in the Too Fast area, slow down until  
the light is in the Best Cleaning range. This will ensure  
you are getting the best cleaning results.  
TurboBrush®

ScotchgardProtector Applicator (Optional)  
The Scotchgard protector applicator (with formula included) can be used to  
help retain the carpet cleanliness you achieve with your ProHeat Pro-Tech  
machine. For best results the post cleaning treatment should be applied  
while the carpet is still wet or damp. It is recommended that the Scotchgard  
Protector is applied every 12 months in all carpeted areas, and after every  
deep cleaning for high traffic areas such as entryways and stairs.  
Immediately after cleaning and rinsing your carpets, empty the  
Tank-in-Tank and refill the bladder with clean hot tap water.

“Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. The Scotchgardprotectant  
is not recommended for use on velvet, silk, 100% cotton  
upholstery, vinyl or leather. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or  
not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
