Frequently Asked Questions - BG102H BISSELL

How do I change the dust bag on the Bissell BG102H vacuum cleaner?

Open the zipper of the cloth bag, remove the cardboard base of the used bag, discard it. Insert a new disposable bag (ref. 9469) by placing the cardboard base onto the plastic extension inside the cloth bag, then close the zipper. Ensure the bag is properly secured to the upper hook and back lock.

How do I adjust the vacuum height for different carpets?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Rotate the round dial on the foot to select the appropriate height. Then turn on the appliance. If the vacuum is too hard to push, adjust to a higher height until it maneuvers easily.

What should I do if suction is weak?

Check that the disposable bag is not full; replace if necessary. Also ensure the cloth bag is properly closed and the air vents are not blocked. The height setting should match the carpet type.

How do I replace the rotating brush belt?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Unlock the two metal latches and remove the bottom plate. Remove the worn belt from the pulley and roller. Install the new belt (ref. 203-7843) in the center of the roller, reposition the roller, pass the belt over the pulley and rotate the pulley to check operation. Replace the plate and lock. Caution: pulleys may be hot.

The vacuum won't start, what should I check?

Ensure the plug is fully inserted into a working outlet. Check that the power switch (foot) is in the on position. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How do I clean the fan compartment?

The fan compartment is removable for inspection. Turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove the compartment and check for any obstructions, dirt accumulation, or belt breakage. For any issues, contact a qualified repair person.

What accessories or replacement parts are available?

Official replacement parts are: drive belt (203-7843), cloth bag assembly with plastic (203-8342), and disposable bags (9469, pack of 4). Use only manufacturer-recommended accessories.

Where can I find the complete manual in French?

The manual is available for free on notice-facile.com in PDF format. You can also request a translation into another language by providing your email address.

What are the important safety instructions?

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Unplug after use. Do not vacuum flammable or toxic materials. Keep away from children. Use only on grounded outlets. Do not modify the polarized plug.

The rotating brush motor is not working, why?

First, check that the vacuum is properly plugged in and turned on. If the brush still does not rotate, the belt may be stretched or broken, or the fan compartment may be obstructed. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren't sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.
