Maintenance and care
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.
