The key to maximum performance is a clean Filter. Cleaning the Filter after
each use will help your 3 Way / FeatherWeight Vacuum operate at peak efficiency.
Use only BISSELL Replacement Filters (#32019) in your BISSELL 3 Way / Featherweight.
Follow the steps on page 5 to remove Dirt Container.
Remove Filter from the Filter Frame and shake over a waste container.
To replace the Filter back onto the Filter Frame, line up the curved tabs of the Filter Frame with
the curved notches on the Filter, and push together to secure. Filter should be fully pressed
against the unit to prevent dust from escaping.
Attach Dirt Container to vacuum by depressing Latch and securely fitting onto Hand Vacuum
Grip. Make sure Dirt Container is correctly secured.
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.
Cleaning the Filter
CAUTION:
Never operate your 3 Way /
FeatherWeight Vacuum without the
Filter in place. Doing so may dam-
age the motor and void the warranty.
