    the end of the hose wand into the hose 
    wand base. Snap the hose into the hose 
    clip.

    vacuum can be adjusted to clean several 
    floor surfaces. 
    NOTE: For optimal cleaning  
    performance, adjust to the lowest 
    practical setting. If your cleaner is 
    difficult to push, adjust to the next 
    higher setting.

    2.  Turn height adjustment knob to desired setting.  
    Lowest Setting -   For bare floors.

    put the handle in the upright position, tilt the 
    cleaner back on its rear wheels and push

    CAUTION:   Before using your vacuum, make sure 
    that the dirt container is in locked   
    position and that all filters (inner circular, 
    outer circular, pre-motor and post-
    motor) are in place. Do not operate 
    your vacuum without these filters.
    Tip:
    Your vacuum 
    features a Quick 
    Release cord 
    wrap. To remove 
    the power cord 
    quickly and eas-
    ily, rotate the 
    upper cord wrap 
    towards the floor, 
    and slip power 
    cord from upper 
    and lower   
    cord wraps.
    Tip:
    Before cleaning 
    under low furni-
    ture, check area 
    first for objects 
    that might harm 
    the unit or block 
    the vacuum hose.
    ATTENTION:   Some Berber carpets have a tendency to 
    fuzz with wear. Repeated strokes in the 
    same area may aggravate this condition. 
    Consider setting your cleaner on a higher 
    than normal setting for this type of carpet.

    Operations
    Special tools
    Your BISSELL Cleanview cyclonic bagless 
    vacuum is not only a powerful carpet 
    and rug vacuum cleaner, it’s also a ver-
    satile above floor vacuum cleaner when 
    you select one of the special tools.
    1. Raise handle to upright position.
    2.  Grasp the Quick Reach handle and lift hose 
    wand to separate from suction intake opening.
    3.  Attach tools by firmly pushing onto  
    vacuum hose or extension wand.
      Combination Dusting Brush/Upholstery  
    Tool:    
    Two types of cleaning tools are included 
    in one attachment; rotate for desired tool.
    ■ Use brush side to dust furniture, blinds,  books, lamps, shelves and baseboards.
    ■  Use upholstery side for curtains, draper -
    ies, cushions and fabrics.
      Crevice Tool: Use in tight, narrow spaces.
      Extension Wand: Use with desired attach-
    ment for a longer reach.
      TurboBrush
    ™ Tool:   
    (Select models only)   
    Use rotating brush action for small areas such 
    as stairs and upholstery.
    NOTE: Press gently when using the 
    TurboBrush™ Tool to gain maximum  
    cleaning. Too much pressure will 
    cause the brush to stop rotating. 
    Power cord
    When you are done using your BISSELL 
    Cleanview Cyclonic Bagless vacuum, 
    return it to the upright position and 
    store the power cord.
    1.  Turn power switch OFF.
    2.  Unplug power cord by grasping the plug 
    (NOT the cord) and disconnect from outlet.
    3.  Loop power cord around cord wraps on 
    side of vacuum cleaner.
    4.  Clip molded plug to power cord to secure.
     NOTICE: The floor brush will continue to rotate while 
    you use your vacuum for above floor 
    cleaning. To prevent carpet damage, do 
    not lean on the vacuum or let the power-
    foot tilt forward.
     CAUTION: The rotating floor brush continues  
    to rotate while tools are in use. To  
    reduce the risk of injury from mov-
    ing parts, always move the cleaner  
    with the carrying handle at the  
    back of the cleaner. Always place  
    the vacuum cleaner on the floor  
    with the handle in upright position  
    when using tools. Never place your  
    fingers under the cleaner when it is  
    running. Never place powerfoot on  
    furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not  
    place vacuum cleaner close enough  
    to objects to pull them into rotating  
    brush.
    Tip:
    Hair, string and 
    small objects 
    can block the 
    vacuum hose or 
    tools. Check them 
    occasionally for 
    obstructions.
    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.

    steps.
    1. Empty the dirt container when the dirt 
    reaches the “Full” line on the side. 
    2.  Check the inner and outer circular 
    filters, and the pre-motor filter at least 
    once a month and clean or replace as 
    needed.
    3.  Replace the HEPA media post-motor  
    filter* every three to six months.
    Note: More frequent filter cleaning 
    or replacing may be necessary if 
    you are vacuuming new carpet, 
    fine dust, or have allergy concerns. 
    Follow the instructions on the fol-
    lowing pages to perform these 
    simple maintenance steps.
    Emptying dirt container

    2.  Slide the Lock ‘n Seal lever to the 
    "Unlock" position.
    3.  Grasp handle and pull dirt container
