  • Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this guide. Use only with manufacturer's recommended attachments.
  • Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before performing maintenance.
  • To reduce the risk of electrical shock – Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
  • Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
  • Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
  • Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  • Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
  • Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
  • Do not put any objects into openings.
  • Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
  • Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and

moving parts.

VACUUMING TIPS

FOR BEST CLEANING RESULTS

  • Slide suction control toward HIGH to increase suction for carpets, and bare floors.
  • Slide suction control towards LOW POWER to decrease suction for lightweight rugs or drapes.

KENMORE BC2005 - FOR BEST CLEANING RESULTS - 1
Low power

Increase Suction

Increase suction for upholsteries, carpets, and bare floors.

Decrease Suction

Decrease suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.

- Keep the airflow passage open. Check each assembly area in REMOVING CLOGS (page 17) occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking.

SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN

For best cleaning action, the floor nozzle should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the floor nozzle should be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This pattern should be continued across the carpet with slow, gliding motions.

KENMORE BC2005 - SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN - 1

natural_image Diagram showing a hand using a vacuum cleaner to lift down an airfoil, with multiple arrows indicating airflow or pressure direction (no text or symbols present)

NOTE: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide complete cleaning.

FLOOR NOZZLE STORAGE

The wand has a "U" shaped storage hook that slides into the "U" shaped slot on the canister. The storage hook allows the wands and floor nozzle to be stored with the canister to conserve storage space. The canister must be stored on end for this feature to be used.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES

CHECK BAG INDICATOR

When the vacuum cleaner is running with normal airflow, the CHECK BAG indicator is green. The indicator turns to dark red whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible clog locations shown in REMOVING CLOGS (page 17).

KENMORE BC2005 - CHECK BAG INDICATOR - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a mechanical component or bracket with no visible text or symbols

To correct problem: See "Check Bag Indicator activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING (page 22).

NOTE: The indicator may activate when using certain attachments due to reduced airflow through attachment.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and clean or replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

If the canister motor does not resume operation after the reset procedure described above, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

CANISTER CARE

REMOVING CLOGS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred (★) areas occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking.

KENMORE BC2005 - REMOVING CLOGS - 1

text_image at es flow ss low and fore PASSAGE DU FLUX D'AIR

TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:

  • Check dust bag and change if full. See DUST BAG CHANGING (page 18-19).
  • Check motor safety filter and HEPA media exhaust filter and clean or replace if dirty. See MOTOR SAFETY FILTER CLEANING (page 19-20) and HEPA MEDIA EXHAUST FILTER CHANGING (page 20-21).
  • Check floor nozzle for any dirt.

If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction, do the following:

  1. Connect the hose to the canister and turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the hose for suction. If there is good suction on the hose handle, there is no clog in the hose. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the hose and handle.

  2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check the end of the wand for suction. If there is good suction at the end of the wand, there is no clog in the wand. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the wand.

  3. Check floor nozzle swivel. Remove any dirt or debris.

CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS

  1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.

  2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.

KENMORE BC2005 - CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS - 1

CAUTION

Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas, such as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they are washed. They could leave marks.

DUST BAG CHANGING

For best cleaning results, the dust bag should be changed often. The CHECK BAG indicator will turn red when the bag needs to be changed or the airflow is blocked.

NOTE: See REPLACEMENT PARTS for part number and purchase details (page 6).

  1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner.
  2. Remove hose from canister.
  3. Squeeze the hood release button, then lift canister hood.

  4. Plug cord into wall outlet.

CAUTION NEVER REUSE A DUST BAG.

Very fine materials, such as carpet freshener, face powder, fine dust, plaster, soot, new carpet lint, etc. can clog the bag and cause it to burst before it is full, which may damage the vacuum cleaner motor. Change bag more often when vacuuming these materials.

MOTOR SAFETY FILTER CLEANING

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from electrical outlet. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the motor safety filter. Be sure the filter is dry and properly installed to prevent motor failure and/or electrical shock.

MOTOR SAFETY FILTER
