Filling the Clean Water Tank
Locate the clean water tank, usually a translucent container on the unit. Remove the tank and open the cap. Fill the tank with warm (not hot) tap water to the “Max” fill line indicated. Do not overfill! Adding too much water can damage the machine.
Next, proceed to add the Bissell cleaning solution as instructed in the “Adding Cleaning Solution” section. Ensure the solution mixes thoroughly with the water. Replace the tank cap securely before reinserting the tank into the Proheat 2X Revolution.
Adding Cleaning Solution
After filling the clean water tank, it’s time to add the Bissell cleaning solution. Locate the designated detergent compartment, often integrated into the clean water tank or nearby. Pour the recommended amount of Bissell cleaning formula into this compartment – refer to the solution bottle for precise measurements.
Using the correct amount is crucial for optimal cleaning performance and to prevent residue buildup. Avoid using excessive soap, as it can cause foaming and potentially damage the machine. Ensure the solution mixes well with the water before operation.
Operating Instructions
Begin by powering on the device and selecting your desired cleaning mode. Utilize the trigger control for dispensing solution, and enjoy effective floor cleaning!
Powering On and Selecting Cleaning Mode
To initiate operation, firmly plug the Proheat 2X Revolution into a grounded electrical outlet. The power button illuminates, indicating readiness. Next, select your preferred cleaning mode – Quick Clean for fast drying, Deep Clean for intense stain removal, or Rinse & Refresh for a water-only pass.
These modes adjust the heat and suction levels. Ensure the tanks are properly filled before starting. The machine will be ready for use once the selected mode is activated, offering tailored cleaning for various floor types and messes. Always refer to the user guide for specific mode recommendations.
Using the Trigger Control
The trigger control activates the spray function, dispensing cleaning solution onto the floor surface. Press and hold the trigger while moving the machine forward for optimal cleaning. Releasing the trigger stops the solution flow, allowing for suction-only passes to extract remaining moisture.
Utilize short, controlled bursts of the trigger for targeted stain treatment. Avoid over-saturating the floor; a light mist is generally sufficient. Consistent trigger control ensures efficient cleaning and prevents residue buildup. Remember to select the appropriate cleaning mode alongside trigger operation for best results.
Cleaning Different Floor Types: Carpet, Rugs, and Hard Floors
For carpets and rugs, utilize the appropriate cleaning mode and ensure the brush roll is rotating. Multiple passes may be needed for heavily soiled areas. On hard floors, switch to the hard floor setting to reduce brush roll agitation and prevent scratching.
Always test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture on hard floors. The Proheat 2X Revolution adapts to various surfaces, delivering effective cleaning. Adjust the cleaning solution amount based on soil level and floor type for optimal results and to prevent residue.

Maintenance and Care
Regular upkeep ensures optimal performance. Empty tanks after each use, clean the brush roll, and rinse the clean water tank to prolong lifespan.
Emptying the Dirty Water Tank
Properly emptying the dirty water tank is crucial for maintaining your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution’s performance and hygiene. Locate the tank, usually at the base of the unit, and carefully detach it. Be prepared, as it will contain dirty water!
Hold the tank over a suitable drain or toilet, and release the cap to allow the water to drain completely. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water, removing any lingering debris or solution residue. Ensure the tank is fully dry before reattaching it to the machine, preventing potential mold or mildew growth.
Cleaning the Brush Roll
Regular brush roll cleaning is essential for optimal suction and cleaning performance with your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution. First, disconnect the machine from the power outlet. Locate the brush roll access door, typically on the bottom of the unit, and open it. Carefully remove the brush roll, noting its orientation for reinstallation.
Remove any hair, strings, or debris wrapped around the brush roll. A seam ripper or small scissors can be helpful. Wipe down the brush roll with a damp cloth. Ensure it’s completely dry before reinserting it, securing the access door afterward.
Rinsing the Clean Water Tank
After each use, thoroughly rinse the clean water tank of your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution to prevent mold and mildew growth, and maintain optimal performance. Remove the tank from the unit and empty any remaining water. Rinse it with warm water, ensuring all traces of cleaning solution are removed.
Inspect the tank for any buildup or residue. If present, gently scrub with a mild detergent and rinse again. Allow the tank to air dry completely before reattaching it to the machine. This simple step extends the life of your appliance.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Encountering problems? This section provides solutions for typical issues with your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution, ensuring quick fixes and continued cleaning power.
No Suction
Experiencing a lack of suction with your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution? First, ensure the dirty water tank isn’t full – an overfilled tank halts suction. Next, check the brush roll for obstructions like hair or debris, as these significantly impede airflow. Verify the hose and attachments are securely connected, eliminating potential leak points.
Inspect the filters; a clogged filter restricts airflow and reduces suction power. Finally, confirm the machine is set to a cleaning mode that activates suction. If issues persist, consult the full manual for detailed diagrams and further troubleshooting steps.
Machine Not Powering On
If your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution fails to power on, begin by verifying the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device to confirm it’s providing power. Inspect the power cord for any visible damage, such as cuts or fraying, and avoid use if damage is present.
Check the machine’s circuit breaker or fuse (if applicable) and reset or replace as needed. Ensure the water tanks are properly seated; sometimes, incorrect placement can prevent power-up. If problems continue, consult the manual’s troubleshooting section.
Brush Roll Not Rotating
If the brush roll on your Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution isn’t rotating, first power off and unplug the machine. Carefully inspect the brush roll for tangled debris like hair, string, or carpet fibers – remove any obstructions. Check the brush roll housing for blockages as well. Ensure the brush roll is correctly installed and securely locked into place.
Verify the belt connecting the brush roll to the motor isn’t broken or slipped off. If the belt is damaged, it requires replacement. Consult the manual for belt replacement instructions. If issues persist, professional service may be needed.
Safety Precautions
Always prioritize safety! Disconnect the power before maintenance. Avoid using on electrical sources or flammable liquids. Read all instructions carefully before operation.

Crucially, always ensure the power cord is undamaged before each use. Never operate the Bissell Proheat 2X Revolution with a damaged cord or plug, and avoid using extension cords. To prevent electrical shock, do not immerse the machine, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
Always unplug from the electrical outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or changing attachments. Handle the plug with dry hands. Avoid pulling or carrying the machine by the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified technician to avoid hazards.
Solution Safety
Important: Only use Bissell cleaning solutions specifically designed for the Proheat 2X Revolution. Using other solutions may damage the machine or void the warranty. Avoid mixing different cleaning solutions, as this can create hazardous fumes. Keep cleaning solutions out of reach of children and pets.
If solution comes into contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Avoid swallowing the cleaning solution; if ingested, contact a poison control center or doctor immediately. Store solutions in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
General Usage Safety

Advanced Features
Explore innovative cleaning! Heatwave Technology maintains consistent water temperature, while edge-to-edge cleaning ensures thorough removal of dirt from all surfaces.
Heatwave Technology Explained
Bissell’s Heatwave Technology is a key innovation within the Proheat 2X Revolution. It’s designed to deliver and maintain consistent water temperature throughout the entire cleaning process. Unlike standard carpet cleaners that can experience temperature drops, Heatwave ensures hot water continuously reaches your floors.
This consistent heat is crucial for effectively loosening and dissolving dirt, stains, and grime embedded deep within carpet fibers. The result is a more thorough clean, requiring less effort and potentially reducing the need for multiple passes. Maintaining optimal water temperature also aids in faster drying times, contributing to overall convenience.
Edge-to-Edge Cleaning
The Proheat 2X Revolution features an innovative design focused on achieving truly edge-to-edge cleaning. Traditional carpet cleaners often struggle to clean along baseboards and into corners effectively, leaving behind a visible line of dirt. This model’s specialized brush head and suction path are engineered to extend cleaning right up to the edges of your room.
This eliminates the need for manual touch-ups and ensures a consistently clean appearance throughout the entire space. The improved design minimizes the frustrating task of repeatedly going over edges to remove residual dirt, saving you time and effort during your cleaning routine.
