Cleaning the filter
The key to maximum performance is having clean
filters. Cleaning the filters after each use will help
your 3-in-1 vacuum operate at peak efficiency.
Use only BISSELL replacement filters in your
BISSELL 3-in-1 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. Attach dirt container to vacuum by
depressing latch and serucely fitting
onto hand vacuum grip. Make sure dirt
container is correctly secured.
CAUTION:
Never operate your 3-in-1
vacuum without the filter
in place. Doing so may
damage the motor and void
the warranty.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from
moving parts and/or electrical
shock, turn Power Switch OFF and
disconnect polarized plug from
electrical outlet before performing
