Clearing Clogs
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
Pull the bag door outward to open and set aside.
Remove the Dust Bag to check the suction inlet for
a clog.
Grasp the Quick Reach Handle and lift up to
separate from the suction intake opening. Check
for a clog in the Base, the Wand or the Hose.
If the clog persists, turn the vacuum cleaner off
and unplug it. Remove the Brush Cover. Check
the Air Passageway for obstructions. Remove
debris from this area. Replace the Brush Cover.
The Hose on the back of the vacuum cleaner that
carries the dirt from the nozzle to the Dust Bag can
sometimes become clogged. If you notice a change
in the sound of the vacuum motor, check for clogs.
Thermal Protector
Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the
electrical outlet.
Check Pre-Motor Filter and Post-Motor Filter for
dirt accumulation.
Refer to "Clearing clogs" section.
When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30
minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and
cleaning may continue. If the thermal protector continues
to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner
may need servicing. Call BISSELL Consumer Services, or
visit the website.
An internal thermal protector has been designed into
your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When
