carpet and rug vacuum cleaner, it’s also 
a versatile above floor vacuum cleaner 
when you select one of the special tools.

plug it into an electrical outlet. For your 
convenience, there is a quick release cord 
wrap for easy cord removal. There is also 
a cord clip that is part of the upper handle 
where you can attach the cord when vacu-
uming.
2.  When you are finished cleaning, turn the 
vacuum cleaner off.
3.  Unplug power cord by grasping the plug 
(NOT the cord) and disconnect from outlet.

return the quick release cord wrap back to 
its original position before wrapping cord.
5.  Clip molded plug to power cord to secure.
 NOTICE: While vacuuming, certain carpets and low  
humidity conditions may generate small  
static discharges. The discharges are entirely  
harmless and are not associated in any way  
with the main power supply.

Maintenance and care
8
To maximize your cleaning perfor-
mance and extend the life of your 
vacuum, it is very important that you 
empty your dirt container and check 
and clean your filters frequently.  
Perform the following maintenance 
steps
1. Empty the dirt container when the dirt 
reaches the “full” line on the dirt con-
tainer, or more frequently, to prevent 
overfills. For best performance, empty 
after each use.
2.  Check the foam motor filter and the 
HEPA media filter* at least once a 
month, clean or replace as needed.
3.  The HEPA media filter* should be 
replaced if machine performance is 
noticeable declining. More or less fre-
quent replacing may be required based 
on individual vacuuming habits and 
types of debris picked up.
Emptying dirt container 
The dirt container should be emptied 
before the dirt reaches the “full” line 
on the container.
1. Unplug the vacuum from electrical out-
let.
2.  Slide the Lock ‘n Seal lever to the 
“unlock” position.
3.  Grasp handle and pull the dirt container 
straight out to remove from the vacuum.
4.  Empty dirt into garbage container.
NOTE: Emptying the dirt container 
after every use will help prevent 
over filling and ensure that the 
vacuum is ready to go the next 
time you clean
WARNING:  To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn 
power switch OFF and disconnect plug 
from electrical outlet before performing 
maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
Tip:
For maximum cleaning 
performance, check 
and clean or replace 
all filters as suggested.
*The Filter Media, not the vacuum as a whole, complies with the High Efficiency 
Particulate Air (HEPA) filter specification (EN 1822-1:2009).

Maintenance 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 con-
tainer. If the filter becomes dirty, pull out 
the tray, lift out the foam filter pad 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 pre-motor filter in the slide 
out tray housed underneath the dirt  
container. If the filter becomes dirty, 
remove the tray, remove and replace 
the HEPA media filter*.
NOTE: The HEPA media filter* is 
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 
toprotect 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.
