Frequently Asked Questions - AirRam 2167 BISSELL

How do I assemble the AirRam 2167?

Attach the lower handle to the head, then slide the upper handle into the lower handle until it clicks. Insert the battery by sliding it down until it clicks. Extend the upper handle by holding the button on the left side and pulling up until it clicks.

How long does the battery take to charge?

The battery charges from flat in about 4 hours. You can also charge for 1 hour for a burst of cleaning. The charger plug connects to the battery (on or off the machine).

How do I empty the dirt bin?

Firmly hold the AirRam and lift out the dirt bin using the handle. Release the latch with the green arrow to open the lid. Hold over a waste basket and push the green lever towards the open lid to empty. Then pull the lever back, close the lid, and reinsert.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the filters at least once a month. More frequent cleaning may be needed depending on usage. Tap or wash the filter under warm water (no detergents) and let it dry completely before reassembling.

What should I do if the brush roll stops spinning?

If the brush roll jams, the AirRam stops and LEDs turn red. First remove the battery. Press the brush roll release button on the side, pull out the brush roll, clean any debris, and reinsert until it clicks. Wait about 10 seconds for red LEDs to turn off before restarting.

Can I use the AirRam on delicate carpets or rugs?

Yes, but for delicate loose-pile rugs or carpets with tassels, remove the brush roll and insert the supplied plug into the brush bar hole. This prevents damage and works best on hard floors with deep crevices.

How do I store the AirRam?

To stow the upper handle, press the button on the left side and push the handle down. The handle retracts fully for compact storage.

Why is my AirRam not picking up debris well?

Check if the dirt bin is full or improperly installed. Ensure filters are clean and not clogged. Look for blockages in the filter housing. Follow maintenance instructions on pages 10-11.

What safety precautions should I take?

Read all instructions before use. Do not use outdoors in rain. Keep away from children. Only use BISSELL batteries and chargers. Do not pick up liquids, flammable items, or hot ashes. Never operate without the filter.

Is there a warranty for the AirRam 2167?

Yes, BISSELL offers a 2-year limited guarantee against manufacturer defects. It covers repair or replacement free of charge. Routine maintenance items (filters, belts, brush rolls) and damage from misuse are not covered. For Australian consumers, rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply.
