Maintenance & Care - Bissell 1319 Series User Manual

Operations
Brush Roll On/Off
The rotating brush On/Off pedal is located on
the front of the vacuum base. You can use your
foot to engage or disengage this pedal (a).
When the brush roll pedal has been engaged,
the brush will start rotating. The brush roll should
be turned on for most carpeted floors. To turn the
brush roll off, disengage the pedal by pressing
on it with your foot. We recommend turning off
the brush roll for bare floor cleaning to prevent
scatter or for other delicate surfaces.
Maintenance & Care
To maintain maximum cleaning performance, the
following maintenance steps must be performed:
1. Empty the dirt tank when the dirt reaches the
"Full" line on the side. (See page 10)
2. Check the pre-motor filter at least once a
month and clean or replace as needed.
To access the pre-motor filter, remove the Easy
Empty dirt tank from the vacuum base and push
the lid release button located on the carry
handle. Remove the foam filter from the filter
tray. A second small, black odor-absorbing
carbon filter can also be found here. Replace
this as needed.
3. The post-motor filter assists in the filtration
process to return clean air to the room. Replace
the post-motor filter every three to six months.
To access the post-motor filter, remove the
filter tray located below the Easy Empty dirt
tank. When the filter becomes dirty, push the
filter through the bottom of the tray to clean or
replace the filter.
NOTE: The pleated post-motor filter may NOT
be washed with water or detergent. If dust and/
or debris accumulates on the filter, gently tap
the filter on the side of a garbage container.
Note: More frequent filter cleaning or replac-
ing 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.
NOTICE
The floor brush will continue to rotate while you use your
vacuum for above floor cleaning. To prevent carpet damage,
do not lean on the vacuum or let the powerfoot tilt forward.
This effects models without a brush roll on/off switch.
