Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.

Remove furniture from the room (chairs, lamps, coffee
tables, etc.).

Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair
before using the PowerLifter Plus.

Plan your cleaning route to leave an exit path. It is best to
begin cleaning in the corner furthest from your exit.

NOTE: You may notice hair and debris deposits on
carpet that were loosened by brushing action,
especially with newer carpets that have never been
deep cleaned before. This debris should be picked
up by hand and thrown away. Debris in the Brush
Belt area should be cleaned out to keep Belts 
running free.

Use a BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formula in the SmartMix
Bottle. When cleaning carpets, stairs or upholstery, use clean
water in the SmartMix Bottle for gentle cleansing or rinsing.

Choose the SmartMix setting to match the cleaning job.

Set the ReadyTools Dial to either TOOLS/PRETREAT or
FLOOR CLEANING.

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

Set the SmartMix Dial to HIGH TRAFFIC.

Set the ReadyTools Dial to PRETREAT.

Plug into a proper outlet and turn ON the power switch.

While pressing the trigger, slowly make several passes over
the area to be cleaned.

CAUTION:  Do not overwet.

Turn the machine Power Switch OFF and let the BISSELL
Deep Cleaning Formula dissolve the tough soil for one to
two minutes before continuing.
