Bissell 3596 - Manual (Page 10)

To maximize your cleaning performance 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:
Empty the Dirt Container when the dirt reaches the
“Full” line.
Check the Upper Tank and Pre-Motor Filters at least once a
month and clean or replace as needed.
Clean or replace the Post-Motor Filter every three to six months.
Note: More frequent filter cleaning may be
necessary if you are vacuuming new carpet,
fine dust, or have allergy concerns. Follow the
instructions on the following pages to perform
these simple maintenance steps.
The Dirt Container needs to be emptied when the dirt
reaches the “Full” line on the Container.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
Slide the Lock ‘n Seal Lever to the "Unlock" position.
Grasp handle and pull the Dirt Container straight out to
remove from vacuum.
Empty dirt into garbage container. The Screens may also be
removed from the side Dust Chambers when you empty or
clean the Dirt Container. The Screens are made to fit each
Dust Chamber. If they do not slide down completely, try in
the opposite Dust Chamber. The Screens will also not fit if
there is debris in the track.
Put the Dirt Container back in the vacuum and slide the
lever to the "Lock" position.
Note: The Dirt Container and Screens may be
washed in warm water with a mild detergent.
Make sure it is completely dry before using again.
To maintain the effectiveness of the Clean Carpet
Sensor, a quarterly cleaning of the internal sensor
lens is recommended. To clean the sensor lens,
detach the Twist ‘n Snap Hose and gently wipe the
clear lens area using a lightly dampened soft cloth.
Allow enough time for the lens to dry thoroughly
before reattaching the Twist ‘n Snap Hose and using
the vacuum.
