Use only BISSELL Replacement Filters in your BISSELL PowerForce.
Filter Kit (#203-1089)
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
The Pre-Motor Filter, located in the bottom of the bag compartment, protects the motor
from dirt particles. If filter becomes dirty, lift out filter and clean.
The Post-Motor Filter assists in the filtration process to return clean air to the room. To
remove this filter, open the door on the side of the cleaner. Grasp filter and pull it straight out.
The filters may be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent, then air dried.
Reposition filters when completely dry.
You should check your vacuum cleaner’s Rotating Floor Brush and Drive Belt regularly
for wear or damage. You should also clean the brush and brush ends of string, hair, and
carpet fibers. These can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to effectively
clean your carpet. Also remove any debris that has accumulated under the brush cover.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
Place handle in Low position and turn vacuum cleaner over so bottom side is up.
Remove the four screws as shown with a Phillips head screwdriver. Lift the Brush
Cover off.
Grasp Rotating Floor Brush at both ends and lift.
Clean strings, hair and other debris from Rotating Floor Brush,
paying particular attention to brush ends.
Clean strings, hair and other debris from Motor Pulley and Drive Belt areas.
Check Drive Belt carefully for wear, cuts or stressed areas. Replace if worn.
Check Air Passageway for obstructions. Remove debris from this area.
