Clearing Clogs
Low suction or poor pickup may be due
to a clog in the dirt container. If this
occurs, follow these steps to check for
and clear clog.
1. Turn power OFF (O). Unplug unit from
electrical outlet.
2. Remove and empty dirt container as previ-
ously directed on page 6. While dirt con-
tainer is out check upper tank for build up
of clogs.
3. Remove separator grill as instructed on
page 6 and check suction inlet for clog.
4. Check foot for clog in air path.
Brush and wiper maintenance
Regularly check rear angle brush and
front wipers on the underside of the
unit and wipe any debris that has
accumulated with a damp cloth.
Thermal motor protection
An internal thermal protector has been
designed into your cleaner to protect it
from overheating. When the thermal
protector activates, the main vacuum
motor will stop operating. If this
happens, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Check the cleaner for the source of over-
heating problem (i.e. full dirt cup, dirty
filters or clog).
3. Fix the problem by following the steps in
the maintenance section of the user guide.
4. When the motor cools for approximately
30 minutes, the thermal protector automat-
ically resets and cleaning may continue.
If the cleaner will not turn on or the ther-
mal protector continues to activate, your
cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL
Consumer Services or visit the website.
