Cleaning the pre-motor filter

Use only BISSELL Replacement Filters in

your BISSELL PowerForce.

1. Turn power OFF. Unplug vacuum

cord from electrical outlet.

2. The pre-motor filter, located in the

bottom of the bag compartment,

protects the motor from dirt particles.

If filter becomes dirty, lift out filter

and clean.

3. Remove the filter and any debris on

top of it. Rinse under warm water; air

dry completely before replacing.

Replacing the post-motor filter

1. Turn power OFF. Unplug vacuum cord

from electrical outlet.

2. Locate the filter behind the filter door on

the side of the vacuum. Select models

have a white pleated post-motor filter

that must be replaced when the filter

becomes dirty. Other models have a

dark mesh filter that can be rinsed with

warm water and must air dry completely

before replacing.

3. Close the door.

Check rotating floor brush

& drive belt

You should check your vacuum cleaner’s

rotating floor brush and drive belt regularly

for wear or damage. You should also clean

the brush and brush ends of string, hair, and

carpet fibers. These can wrap around the

brush and hamper its ability to effectively

clean your carpet. Also remove any debris

that has accumulated under the brush cover.

1. Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2. Place handle in low position and

turn vacuum cleaner over so bottom

side is up.

3. Remove the four screws as shown

with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Lift the brush cover off.

4. Grasp rotating floor brush at both

ends and lift.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

turn power OFF and disconnect

polarized plug from electrical out-

let before performing maintenance

or troubleshooting.

Tip:

To maintain suction

and cleaning perfor-

mance, check your

filters regularly and

clean or replace every

3-6 months.
