Maintenance & Care - Bissell 1305 series User Manual

Maintenance & Care
To maintain maximum cleaning performance, the
following maintenance steps must be performed:
1. Empty dirt container when the dirt reaches
the "full" line.
2. Check the pre-motor filters at least once a
month and clean and replace as needed.
3. Check and replace the post-motor filter
as needed.
NOTE: More frequent filter cleaning may be
necessary if you are vacuuming new carpet,
fine dust or have allergy concerns.
Follow the instructions on the following pages
to perform these simple maintenance steps.
Empty dirt container
1. Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the Easy Empty dirt tank from
the vacuum base by pushing the container
"empty" button.
3. Hold the dirt tank over a garbage bin. Press
the bottom lid release button on the back of
the dirt container to empty dirt.
4. Return the easy empty dirt container on
the vacuum base.
NOTE: The dirt container may be washed in
warm water with mild detergent. Make sure
it is completely dry before replacing.
Cleaning the pre-motor filter
1. Unplug the cleaner from electrical outlet.
2. Remove the Easy Empty dirt container
from the vacuum base by pushing the tank
"empty" button.
3. Twist the top part of the dirt container
counter clockwise and lift to remove.
4. There are two pre motor filters: one foam filter
under a thinner fiber filter. If the filters appear
dirty remove both filters. Both pre motor filters
may be hand washed in cold water with mild
detergent. Rinse well and air dry thoroughly
before replacing the filters.
NOTE: The thinner fiber filter should be placed
on top of the foam filter.
5. Reassemble dirt container and place back
on vacuum.
