Clean Filter Indicator  
Select Models Only  
The Clean Filter Indicator tells you when airflow in  
the vacuum is reduced due to dirty filters or a clog  
in the hose. The Clean Filter Indicator will remain  
green until the airflow is reduced. At that time, it  
begins to change to red. When it is fully red, the  
airflow is significantly reduced or blocked. Follow  
the steps on pages 10 -11 to clean your filters. All  
filters in the vacuum should be cleaned or replaced  
when the Clean Filter Indicator turns red.  
NOTICE:  
While vacuuming, certain  
carpets and low humidity  
conditions may generate small  
static discharges. The discharges  
are entirely harmless and are not  
associated in any way with the  
main power supply.  
If the indicator remains red after all filters have  
been cleaned, follow the steps on page 13 to  
check for and clear clogs.

4.  
When the motor cools for approximately 30  
minutes, the thermal protector automatically  
resets and cleaning may continue. If the thermal  
protector continues to activate after following the  
above steps, your cleaner may need servicing. Call  
BISSELL Consumer Services, or visit the website.
