aintenance and care
clearing clogs continued
if suction is normal at the hose, follow
these steps to check for and clear the
clog for floor cleaning:
1. Check the foot hose for clogs. If you are
not able to tell from the outside if a clog is
present, remove the bottom 3 screws from
the diverter cover to loosen and straighten
the foot hose.
2. Remove any clogs found and fully reassemble
the cleaner before attempting to check suction
again or using the cleaner.

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 hap-
pens, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Check the cleaner for the source of over-
heating 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 automat-
ically resets and cleaning may continue.
If the cleaner will not turn on or the ther-
mal protector continues to activate, your
cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL
Consumer Services or visit the website.
note: the thermal protector controls
the main vacuum motor only, not the
brush motor. if the thermal protec-
tor activates, the brush will continue
to operate normally; however, there
will be no suction.
