• In the unlikely event that hair wrapped around your Brush Roll, run vacuum back and forth on clean carpet several times to help release any wrapped hair.
• Turn OFF the Brush Roll when vacuuming hard or delicate surfaces that may be caught by the rotating brush. This could include hard wood, tiled floors, small area rugs, or frieze carpets that have long delicate fibers or threads.

ADJUSTING SUCTION CONTROL

ABOVE-FLOOR CLEANING

1. Clean hard to reach spaces with the Quick Release Extension Wand. Push the release button to remove and attach desired tool.		2. If desired, the Stretch Hose can be removed from the Extension Wand. To do so, twist hose from the back of the wand to remove.

3. Attach desired tool. Use the Pet TurboEraser® Tool for best results on stairs. Or use the 2-in-1 Pet Brush with soft, white bristles for sensitive/gentle surfaces and rubber nubs to pick up embedded pet hair.		4. When finished, replace the wand back on the vacuum by sliding into place until you hear “click”.

VACUUM MOTOR PROTECTION

An internal thermal protector has been designed into your vacuum to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates, the main vacuum motor will stop operating. The front lights will remain on, even though the motor turns OFF. If this happens, proceed as follows.

Turn vacuum OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. Check for the source of overheating problem (full Dirt Tank, dirty filters, or a clog) and fix by following the maintenance instructions. When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the vacuum will not turn ON or the thermal protector continues to activate, your vacuum may need servicing. Contact BISSELL Consumer Care.

*NOTE:

The thermal protector controls the main vacuum motor only, not the brush motor.

If the thermal protector activates, brush and lights will continue to operate normally; however, there will be no suction.
