Maintenance and care
Cleaning the filter
The key to maximum performance is a clean
filter. Cleaning the filter after each use will help your
FeatherWeight vacuum operate at peak efficiency.
Use only BISSELL replacement filters (#32019) in your
BISSELL FeatherWeight.
1. Follow the steps on page 5 to remove dirt container.
2.
Remove filter from the filter frame and shake over
a waste container.
3. To replace the filter back onto the filter frame,
line up the curved tabs of the filter frame with the
curved notches on the filter, and push together to
secure. The filter should be fully pressed against
the unit to prevent dust from escaping.
4. Attach dirt container to vacuum by depressing
latch and securely fitting onto hand vacuum grip.
Make sure dirt container is correctly secured.
5. After heavy usage, you may clean the filter by
washing it gently by hand in warm water and mild
dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and make certain
it is completely dry before replacing it. If the filter
is torn, replace it with a new filter.
Troubleshooting
Other maintenance or service not included above should be
