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 previously directed on page 6. While dirt container 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 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 Services or visit the website. 8 www.bissell.com 800.237.7691
