							Use only BISSELL Style 8 Replacement Filters in your

The Pre-Motor Filter protects the motor from dirt particles. It 
is located in the slide out tray underneath the Dirt Container. 
If the Filter becomes dirty, pull out the tray, lift out the Filter 
and clean. This Filter may be hand washed in cold water 
with mild detergent. Rinse well and air dry thoroughly 
before replacing.
The HEPA Media Post-Motor Filter assists in the 
filtration process to return clean air to the room. It is 
located behind the door on the back of the cleaner. If the 
Filter becomes dirty, open the door, remove the Filter and 
replace. The HEPA Media Filter is not washable.

							Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a clog 
in the vacuum cleaner. If you notice a change in 
the sound of the motor or a reduction in the 
spinning action, check for clogs.
Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.
Empty Dirt Container.
Check Upper Tank for build up or clogs.
Remove the Upper Tank and check the suction inlet for 
a clog.
Grasp the Hose Grip and lift to separate from the suction 
opening. Check for a clog in the Base or the Hose.
Release the Twist n Snap hose from the vacuum by 
turning to the left. Straighten the hose and unclog with a 
long, narrow object.
If the clog persists, follow the instructions for Checking 
the Rotating Brush on page 11 and inspect the Air 
Passageway for obstructions.
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:
Turn the cleaner OFF (O) and unplug from 
electrical outlet.
Check the Upper Tank area, Pre-Motor Filter and 
Post-Motor Filter for dirt accumulation.
Refer to the Clearing Clogs section.
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. 
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.
