Maintenance and care Brush reset feature If an object becomes lodged in the foot and brush shuts off, turn the vacuum off and unplug from electrical outlet. Remove the obstruction and the brush will automatically reset when the vacuum is plugged and turned back on. 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 overheating 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 automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the cleaner will not turn on or the thermal protector continues to activate, your cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL Consumer Care or visit the website to locate an authorized Service Center. 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. 13
