Operations
Variable suction power control
The variable suction power control is located
on the top of the vacuum. Slide the control
toward the larger dots for maximum suction.
Slide the control toward the smaller dots to
minimize suction for lightly soiled areas or
delicate fabrics.
Air flow regulator
Open the air flow regulator by sliding the
regulator back towards the handle to an open
position to reduce suction for delicate fabrics.
Close the air flow regulator by sliding the regulator
down to the closed position for full suction.
High filtration dust bag
The BISSELL PowerForce Compact features a
non-woven, high filtration dust bag that captures
more fine dust than traditional paper dust bags,
giving off less dust emissions. It also holds more
fine dust particles, giving you longer lasting
suction power.
Bag change indicator
The bag change indicator is located between
the power button and the automatic cord
rewind button. If the bag change indicator turns
orange while you are vacuuming, the dust bag
needs to be replaced. The dust bag may appear
to be full or only partially full depending upon
the type of debris picked up. Fine particles can
block the airflow in the dust bag and reduce
suction before the dust bag is full. If the bag
change indicator remains orange, even after
changing the dust bag, turn the vacuum off and
check for a clog in the hose or tools.
Note: The indicator may turn orange when
using the tools due to the restricted airflow.
This does not necessarily mean that the
dust bag is full. If the indicator does not
turn off once the tool is removed, check for
a clog in the hose/tools or replace the dust
bag.
