Frequently Asked Questions - 1313 BISSELL

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

The battery requires approximately 8 hours for a full charge from a completely discharged state. The charger may become warm during charging, which is normal.

How do I empty the dirt cup?

Turn off the vacuum, remove the hand vacuum, hold it vertically, press the release button, grasp the filter tabs and pull up to remove the filter cup, then empty the dirt into a waste container. Replace and snap back into place.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the dirt cup, then remove the filter cup assembly. Twist the cloth filter counterclockwise to remove it. Tap filters against a waste basket to remove debris. For heavy usage, wash filter and cup with warm water and mild dish detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before reusing.

What should I do if the brush roll stops turning?

First, check for jammed debris such as hair or strings. Turn off the vacuum, open the brush roll gate, remove the brush roll, clean off debris, then reset by closing the gate. If it still doesn't turn, allow the motor to cool for 15 seconds and try again. If the belt is broken, contact BISSELL for replacement parts.

How do I fold the handle for storage or under furniture?

Pull the trigger on the back of the handle to bend it forward for cleaning under furniture, or backward for space-saving storage. The handle has a 2-way folding mechanism.

What accessories are included with this model?

The vacuum includes a crevice tool with a dusting brush. These can be attached to the hand vacuum for cleaning furniture, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Can I use this vacuum on wet surfaces?

No, this vacuum is designed for dry, indoor surfaces only. Using it outdoors or on wet surfaces increases the risk of electric shock and damage.

How do I remove the hand vacuum for use as a portable cleaner?

Simply pull the hand vacuum directly out of the main unit. The power button is on top of the grip area. Press ON to start cleaning. Attach accessories before turning on.

What does the red blinking LED on the battery indicate?

A red slow-blinking LED indicates the battery is low and needs charging. A solid green LED for 10 minutes then flashing green once per minute indicates a full charge.

How do I dispose of the vacuum at end of life?

Remove the NiMH battery pack according to the manual instructions (unplug charger, disassemble hand vacuum, cut wires from PCB, wrap ends with tape). Do not incinerate. Dispose of the battery through RBRC at 1-800-822-8837 or www.rbrc.com.
