Operations

Special tools

Your BISSELL Zing canister is not only a powerful carpet and rug vacuum cleaner, it’s also a versatile bare floor and above floor vacuum cleaner when you select one of the special tools.
BareFloor tool
Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare floors. Swivel head turns to get into tight spaces and fits under cabinets.

To vacuum carpets and rugs, push the brush switch to the carpet position . This will pull the brushes up into the floor nozzle.
To vacuum bare floors, push the brush switch to the bare floor position . This will extend the brushes down from the floor nozzle.

Upholstery tool:

Use the upholstery tool to clean curtains, draperies, cushions and fabrics. Combination crevice tool/dusting brush: Use the crevice tool in tight, narrow spaces. Use the dusting brush to clean curtains, draperies, cushions and fabrics.

Power cord

The power cord is located at the rear of the vacuum. Gently pull out the power cord, watching for the yellow line. Stop pulling the power cord once the yellow line is visible. There is also a red line, which indicates the end of the usable cord. Do not pull the power cord out beyond the red line.

Power button

Turn the power ON or OFF by pressing lightly downward on the power button ( ).

Automatic cord rewind

Your vacuum is equipped with an automatic cord rewind. When cleaning is finished, press the power button OFF ( )and grasp the plug to discon-nect from the electrical outlet. Hold the plug and press the automatic cord rewind button to rewind the cord automatically.

Variable suction power control

The variable suction power control is located on the top of the vacuum. Turn the control toward the larger dots for maximum suction. Turn the control toward the smaller dots to minimize suction for lightly soiled areas or delicate fabrics.

CAUTION: Be careful to avoid injury as cord retracts very quickly.

CAUTION: Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dust bag and all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) are in place. Do not operate your vacuum without the dust bag and filters.

Bag change indicator

bag change

The bag change indicator is located below the swivel hose. If the bag change indicator turns orange while you are vacuuming, the dust bag needs to be replaced. The dust bag may appear to be full or only par-tially full depending upon the type of debris picked up. Fine particles can block the airflow in the dust bag and reduce suction before the dust bag is full. If the bag change indicator remains orange, even after changing the dust bag, turn the vacuum off and check for a clog in the hose or tools.

Dust bag replacement

Turn the power OFF ( ). Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
Disconnect hose
Open the dust bag compartment by lift-ing up on the latch on the door on the front of the vacuum.
Lift out the dust bag holder and dust bag.
Release the dust bag from the holder by pressing the dust bag holder clip and pulling the dust bag out of the holder. Discard the used dust bag.
Slide the new dust bag into the holder by inserting the dust bag into the tabs located at the bottom of the holder. Then press the dust bag holder clip, insert the dust bag and release the dust bag holder clip to hold the dust bag in place.
Place holder and new dust bag back into the dust bag compartment, making sure the entire bag is tucked in below the seal gasket.

NOTICE: This product is intended for house-hold use only and not for commercial or industrial use. Vacuuming of dust from products like plaster, concrete or ashes will damage the motor and void the warranty.

Thermal motor protection

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the main vacuum motor will stop operating. If this happens, proceed as follows.

Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
Check the cleaner for the source of overheating problem (i.e. full dirt cup, dirty filters or clog).
Fix the problem by following the steps in the maintenance section of the user guide.
When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector will reset and cleaning may continue. If the cleaner will not turn on or the thermal protector continues to activate, your cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL Consumer Services or visit the website.

WARNING: Do not operate cleaner with damp or wet filters or without all filters in place.
Tip: For maximum cleaning performance, check the filters often and clean or replace if necessary.
