Frequently Asked Questions - BG10716HQS BISSELL

How to install the disposable bag?

Open the cloth bag using the zipper. Remove the cardboard base from the used bag and discard it. Open a new disposable bag, place the cardboard base on the plastic extension inside the bag. Slide the disposable bag into the cloth bag, then close the cloth bag.

How to adjust the vacuum height?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Turn the round selector near the foot to choose the setting appropriate for your carpet height. Turn on and test: if the vacuum is too hard to push, increase the setting.

What to do if suction is weak?

First check if the disposable bag is full: discard it and replace with a new one. If the problem persists, inspect the fan compartment for any obstruction.

How to replace the brush roll belt?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Push the metal locks to remove the metal plate at the bottom of the vacuum. Remove the worn belt from the pulley, then install the new belt in the center of the brush roll. Reinstall the brush roll, route the belt over the pulley and turn it to check proper operation. Replace the plate and lock it.

What is the required power voltage?

The vacuum operates on a standard 120 V, 60 Hz grounded outlet. Do not modify the plug.

How to clean the fan compartment?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove the removable fan compartment to check for obstructions, dirt buildup, or damage. For complex repairs, contact an authorized service center.

What to do if the rotating brush does not spin?

Make sure the vacuum is properly plugged and the switch is on. Check the belt: if it is deformed or broken, replace it. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

Can I use the vacuum on hard floors?

This vacuum is designed mainly for carpets and rugs. On hard floors, use an appropriate height setting and avoid vacuuming large debris.

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.
