Formula

WARNING:

Do not use an extension cord with this product. The use of an extension cord may result in a severe electrical shock, particularly if the extension cord does not have an electrical rating higher than that of the product, OR if the extension cord does not have a three-prong grounding plug and if the extension cord is not plugged into a circuit box with a ground fault circuit interrupter. Safety precautions such as keeping all connections off the ground and dry will not eliminate the danger.

WARNING:

Use only BISSELL formulas for compact in your cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent-based soil removers also should not be used. These products may react with the plastic materials used in your cleaner, causing cracking or pitting.

Cleaning with your Little Green Pet

1. Hold the tool approximately 2.5 cm above the soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area.

2. Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub the area to be cleaned.

3. For thorough cleaning, spray additional solution while the brush and suction are in contact with the surface.

4. Apply downward pressure on the tool and pull it toward you. The suction will remove the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed.

5. As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much liquid/moisture as possible.

Repeat this step as often as necessary.

M

aintenance and care

After cleaning

IMPORTANT:

Check the manufacturer’s tag before cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can use your Little

Green Pet. If tag is coded with an “S”

(with diagonal strike-through), or says

“Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

Tip:

If a significant amount of BISSELL compact formula/ water remains, it is all right to leave it in the clean water/solution tank for your next cleaning task.

Tip:

Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning. Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric when it becomes wet.

(Do NOT twist tool to remove it)

5. Check spray nozzle for accumulated dirt or debris. If necessary, clean with soft bristle brush.

Machine storage

1. Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth.

2. Wrap power cord around the cord wrap on the back of the Little Green Pet.

3. Wrap vacuum flex hose around the base of the unit and place hose grip into storage bracket. Turn bracket latch counterclockwise to lock into place.
