Bissell CROSSWAVE-17132 user manual

No, you do not need to hold the trigger continuously when using the Bissell CrossWave. The CrossWave has a trigger that you press and release to dispense the cleaning solution and water mixture. Once you release the trigger, the machine will continue to spray the solution and water mixture onto the surface while simultaneously vacuuming it up.

There could be several reasons why your Bissell Crosswave is not working correctly. Here are a few common issues and troubleshooting steps:
1. Not Turning On: Ensure that the device is properly plugged in and the outlet is working. Try a different outlet if necessary.
2. No Suction or Low Suction: Check the dirt tank and filter. If they are full or dirty, empty the tank and clean or replace the filter. Make sure the tank is properly placed back in the device.
3. Not Spraying Solution: Ensure the water tank is not empty, and that the formula is correctly mixed. Check the spray nozzle for clogs and clean it if required.
4. Brush Roll Not Spinning: Check for any debris or hair tangled up in the brush. If so, carefully remove it. Also, ensure that the brush roll is securely in place.
5. Loss of Power or Variable Suction: This can be caused by a dirty filter, so check this first.
If none of these solutions work, or your device is leaking, making unusual noise, or you notice a burning smell, stop using it and contact Bissell customer service or a professional repair service. It could be an electrical or motor issue that needs professional attention to avoid further damage or a potential safety hazard.

1. Ensure that the machine is unplugged and turned off.

3. Press and hold the SmartClean button for about 10 seconds.
4. After 10 seconds, release the SmartClean button.
5. Plug the machine back in and turn it on.
Your Bissell CrossWave should now be reset and ready to use.
