Bissell SPOTLIFTER-POWERBRUSH-1716 user manual

The Bissell SpotLifter 2x typically takes around 4 to 5 hours to fully charge. It is recommended to charge the device for the specified amount of time before using it to ensure optimal performance.

Here's how to use the Bissell SpotLifter PowerBrush 1716:
1. Preparation: Before using the SpotLifter PowerBrush, make sure the machine is fully charged. This can take up to 12 hours for a full charge. You can check the status of the charge by looking at the charging light indicator on the handle.
2. Filling the Water Tank: Remove the clean water/solution tank by lifting it up and out of the unit. Unscrew the cap and fill the tank with hot tap water up to the fill line. Then add BISSELL cleaning formula to the formula fill line. Put the cap back on and securely place the tank onto the unit.
3. Use: Press the power switch to turn on the SpotLifter PowerBrush. Hold the SpotLifter over the spot you want to clean and press the spray trigger to apply the cleaning solution.
4. Brushing: Use the cleaning brush to scrub the area gently, allowing the brush to agitate and loosen the dirt.
5. Suction: Release the spray trigger, and move the SpotLifter back and forth over the area to suck up the loosened dirt and the cleaning solution. Repeat the process until the stain is gone.
6. Emptying soiled water: After usage, it is necessary to empty the collection tank. Twist and lift the collection tank handle to remove it from the machine. Empty it and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Dry and place it back into the machine.
Important: Always ensure the tanks are properly installed before using the machine, and remember that with a cordless device like the SpotLifter PowerBrush, longer run time can be achieved by spraying less solution during use. It is recommended that you always discretely test a small area for colorfastness.
