Maintenance & Care
Thermal Protector
An internal thermal protector has been
designed into your vacuum to protect it
from overheating. When the thermal protector
activates, the vacuum motor will stop
operating. If this happens:
1.
Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2.
Empty dirt container, check filters and
air passages for dirt accumulation.
3.
The thermal protector automatically resets
after approximately 2 hours. If the thermal
protector does not reset, call BISSELL Consumer
Services or visit the website.
Replacing the Water Filter
Some models will come with an optional water filter.
If your unit comes with a water filter:
It is recommended to fill your unit with distilled
water only. Periodically check your water filter.
When the green grains turn blue, change your
water filter.
If the filter is not changed at the appropriate
time, calcium deposits may accumulate on the
heater, causing damage or reduced performance.
NOTE: If your unit does not come with a water
filter, it is still recommended to use distilled
water to fill your unit. Using your unit without
a water filter does not diminish performance or
cause damage.
To replace the filter:
1.
Using the grips on the side of the filter, pull
filter out of the unit.
2.
Push filter firmly into the machine until
it’s flush.
Reference page 14 for replacement part
information.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off
and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before
performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
