help your vacuum operate at peak efficiency.
Use only genuine replacement filters in your
bissell vacuum. To purchase visit www.
bissell.com or call 0844.888.6644
to clean filter:
1. Turn power OFF (O).
2. Remove the dirt container from the hand
vacuum, as directed in step 1 "emptying the
dirt cup" on page 6.
3. Remove filter and tap firmly against the inside
of a waste container, removing any visible dirt.
4. Replace filter back into the dirt container and
attach dirt container to hand vacuum until it
snaps securely in place.
notE: after heavy usage, you may clean the
filter by washing it gently by hand in warm
water and mild dish detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and make certain it is completely
dry before replacing it.
