Cleaning pre-motor & post-motor filters

Use only BISSELL Replacement Filters in your 
BISSELL PowerForce.  

1.

 

Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2.

 

The pre-motor filter, located in the bottom of the bag 
compartment, protects the motor from dirt particles. If 
filter becomes dirty, lift out filter and clean.

3.

 

The post-motor filter assists in the filtration process to 
return clean air to the room. To remove this filter, open 
the door on the side of the cleaner. Grasp filter and pull 
it straight out.

4.

 

The filters may be hand washed in cold water with 
mild detergent, then air dried.

5.

 

Reposition filters when completely dry.

Check rotating floor brush and drive belt

You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating floor 
brush and drive belt regularly for wear or damage. You 
should also clean the brush and brush ends of string, hair, and carpet 
fibers. These can wrap around the brush and hamper its ability to 
effectively clean your carpet.

 

Also remove any debris that has 

accumulated under the brush cover.

1.

 

Unplug cleaner from electrical outlet.

2.

 

Place handle in low position and turn vacuum cleaner 
over so bottom side is up.

3.

 

Remove the four screws as shown with a Phillips head 
screwdriver. Lift the brush cover off.

4.

 

Grasp rotating floor brush at both ends and lift.
