THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Operations

CAUTION :
Do not plug in your vacuum cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

HOW TO USE YOUR VACUUM

Your vacuum may be used in one of three ways. See instructions below for converting your vacuum to best meet each need.

1. As a Floor Vacuum :
   • A. Open the latch at the base of the hand vacuum grip and insert handle. Once handle is all the way inserted into the body of the vacuum, press the latch closed to secure the handle in place.
   • B. Attach the floor nozzle by inserting it into the opening at the bottom of the dirt container. Press firmly to secure in place.
2. As a Hand Vacuum : Release the latch from the handle and pull handle away from the unit. Press the latch closed.
3. As a Multi-Purpose Vacuum : The crevice tool and floor nozzle may be used with the hand vacuum. To use for cleaning in tight spaces, insert the crevice tool into the opening at the bottom of the dirt container. Press firmly to secure in place. To clean a wider surface, remove the crevice tool and attach the floor nozzle by inserting it into the opening at the bottom of the dirt container. Press firmly to secure in place.

POWER CORD STORAGE

1. Turn Vacuum off (O).
2. Unplug power cord by grasping the polarized plug, NOT the cord, and disconnect from outlet.
3. Loop power cord around cord wraps on the handle.
4. Clip molded plug to power cord to secure.

Maintenance & Care

WARNING :
To avoid injury, turn vacuum OFF and unplug cord from wall when not in use.

To maintain maximum performance from your BISSELL vacuum, perform these simple maintenance checks:

EMPTYING THE DIRT CONTAINER

1. Turn Vacuum off (O).
2. To remove dirt from the dirt container and filter, hold the vacuum vertically as shown. Depress and hold latch on top of the vacuum to release the dirt container.
3. Gently pull dirt container away from the hand vacuum grip and remove the filter as shown. Empty into waste container.
4. The dirt container may be rinsed with warm water and a mild detergent if needed. The dirt container must be thoroughly dried before replacing.
5. Replace filter. Attach dirt container to vacuum by depressing Latch and securely fitting onto hand grip. Make sure dirt container is correctly secured.

CLEANING THE FILTER

The key to maximum performance is having clean filters. Cleaning the filters after each use will help your vacuum operate at peak efficiency.

Use only BISSELL replacement filters in your BISSELL vacuum.

1. Turn Vacuum off (O).

2. Follow the steps on page 5 to remove dirt container and main filter. To clean the main filter, shake over a waste container until debris is gone. Replace the filter back into the dirt container.
   Note : After heavy usage, you may clean the filter by washing it gently by hand in warm water and mild dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and make certain it is completely dry before replacing it. If filter is torn, replace it with a new filter.

3. To clean the foam filter, lift out from the body of the unit. This filter may be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent. Rinse well and air dry thoroughly before replacing. If filter is torn, replace it with a new filter.

4. Attach dirt container to vacuum by depressing latch and securely fitting onto hand vacuum grip. Make sure dirt container is correctly secured.

CAUTION :
Never operate your vacuum without the filter in place. Doing so may damage the motor and void the warranty.
