Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires a Phillips-head screwdriver. Slide the back plate into the unit until it snaps, then attach the flex hose storage bracket securely for proper function.

Unboxing and Initial Setup

Start by carefully unboxing your Little Green Machine and inspecting all components. Attach the flex hose clip by sliding it into the designated slot until it clicks. Secure the flex hose storage bracket to keep the hose organized. Next, ensure the solution tank is properly aligned and clicked into place. Finally, prepare the machine for its first use by filling the tank with the recommended BISSELL cleaning solution. Ensure all parts are securely fastened before operation. This setup ensures optimal performance and safety.

Attaching the Flex Hose Clip

No tools are required for this process.

Securing the Flex Hose Storage Bracket

Operation

Preparing for Cleaning

Before using the Little Green Machine, ensure all parts are properly assembled. Check for any damage or blockages in the hose or nozzles.

Using the Spray Trigger

To use the spray trigger effectively, hold the cleaning tool approximately 1 inch above the soiled surface. Press the trigger firmly to release the cleaning solution evenly.

Fill the clean/solution tank with BISSELL Little Green formula, diluted as instructed. Avoid using formulas with lemon or pine oil, as they may damage the machine. Before applying, test a small, inconspicuous area to ensure colorfastness. Press the spray trigger to release the solution onto the soiled area. Work in slow, even passes to evenly distribute the cleaning agent. Do not boil or microwave the solution for any reason, as this can harm the machine or cause injury.
