How to Troubleshoot a Bissell Quick Steam Plus Carpet Cleaner

Refilling and Emptying Tanks

• 1

  Remove the clean water tank from the machine by pulling it up and away from the machine. Unscrew the cap from the top of the water tank and check the water level. If the water tank is empty, it will not spray the carpet.

  Refill the tank with clear water if it is empty. Reinstall the water tank by twisting the cap tight and pressing it into the machine.

• 3

  Remove the dirty water tank by opening the latches on either side of it and pulling it from the machine. Pour the dirty water from the tank into the sink. If the dirty water tank is full, the machine will not pick up any water or cleaning solution.

  Reinstall the dirty water tank and close the latches.
