Maintenance and care
Thermal protector
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 (O) and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Check the secondary cyclone area, Pre-
Motor Filter and Post-Motor Filter for dirt
accumulation.
3. Refer to the "Clearing Clogs" section.
4. When the motor cools for approximately 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.
note: The thermal protector controls the
main vacuum motor only, not the brush
motor. If the thermal protector activates,
the brush will continue to operate normally;
however, there will be no suction.
Caution: To reduce the risk of
injury from moving
parts, turn off vacuum
cleaner and disconnect
Power Plug from
electrical outlet.
