aintenance and care
1. Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
2. The foam motor filter protects the motor
from dirt particles. It is located in the slide
out tray underneath the dirt container. If
the filter becomes dirty, pull out the tray,
lift out the foam filter and clean it.
NOTE: The foam motor filter may
be hand washed in cold water
with mild detergent. Rinse well
and air dry thoroughly before
replacing.
3. The HEPA media filter* is a H13 filter,
which assists in the filtration process to
return clean air to the room. It is located
beneath the foam motor filter in the
slide out tray housed underneath the dirt
container. If the filter becomes dirty,
remove the tray, remove and replace
with a new HEPA media filter*.
NOTE: The HEPA media filter* is
a white, pleated filter. This filter
is NOT washable and must be
replaced when it becomes dirty
Thermal Protector
An internal thermal protector has
been designed into your vacuum to
protect it from overheating. When
the thermal protector activates, the
vacuum motor will stop operating. If
this happens:
1. Turn the vacuum OFF and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Empty the dirt container, check filters
and air passages for dirt accumulation.
3. The thermal protector automatically
resets after approximately one hour. If
the thermal protector does not reset, call
BISSELL Consumer Services.
Cleaning the foam motor and HEPA media filter*
*The Filter Media, not the vacuum as a whole, complies with the High Efficiency
Particulate Air (HEPA) filter specification (EN 1822-1:2009).
WARNING:
Do not operate cleaner with
damp or wet filters or without
all filters in place.
