Carpet cleaning (Continued)
6. After cleaning, you may want to turn the Custom
Clean dial to rinse to give your carpeting a final
water only rinse. This will ensure thorough
removal of embedded dirt loosened by the deep
cleaning formula. BISSELL deep cleaning for-
mulas contain an anti-resoiling agent that helps
your carpets repel dirt and keeps them look-
ing good longer.
7. Remove the tank from the base of the machine
by lifting up on the tank carry handle. Carry like a
bucket to a utility sink or outside where you will
dispose of the dirty water.
7a. Unlatch the top of the tank from the bottom by
lifting up on the tank latch which is located on the
back of the tank.
7b. Remove the top of the tank by lifting up on the
handle.
Note how the lip on the top tank separates
from the groove in the bottom tank. This
placement is important when putting the
tank back together.
7c. Lift the bottom portion of the tank; pour out dirty
water toward the sink through the triangular
shaped opening in the corner of the tank.
Note: You may notice hair & debris deposits on the
carpet or in the tank that were loosened by the
cleaning action (especially with newer carpets that
have never been deep cleaned before). This debris
should be picked up and thrown away.
7d. Fill the heavy duty bladder with clean hot tap
water, following instructions 1c through 1e on
pages 9 and 10.
Note: Remember to secure the tank latch in
the back and test to make sure it is secure
before picking up the tank. Always check
the level of cleaning formula in the formula
tank at the same time, and refill as needed.
8. Water rinse (Optional). Rinsing is an optional
step that can be done during the cleaning pro-
cess by switching from one of the clean
settings on the Custom Clean dial to a water rinse
setting, or it can be done after the carpeted area
has been cleaned. Simply choose the water rinse
setting on the custom clean dial, and follow the
same path as you did for cleaning, taking care
to do a forward (wet) stroke by depressing the
trigger, a backward (wet) stroke, and a forward
and backward (dry) stroke, releasing the trigger.
Continue this until the water you see coming up
the nozzle is clear.
