The Bissell Bolt 1313/1315 series is a 2-in-1 cordless vacuum cleaner. Before first use, ensure the unit is fully charged for approximately 8 hours. The vacuum features a removable hand vacuum for versatile cleaning and a 2-way folding handle for storage and cleaning under furniture. Always turn the unit off before performing any maintenance.
Product Overview
The vacuum consists of a main body with a swivel head, a detachable hand vacuum, and a dirt cup. Key controls include the power/brush roll button on the handle and the hand vacuum power button. The 1315 series includes an additional suction control button for Normal/High settings.

Assembly and Charging
No tools are required for assembly. Simply insert the foot into the body of the unit until you hear a click. To charge, plug the adapter into the charging port on the back of the unit or the charging base. The power LED lights will illuminate during charging. A full charge takes approximately 8 hours.

Operations
To operate the vacuum, push the power button on the handle. Use the brush button to activate the brush roll for hard floors and low-pile carpets. The 1315 series allows you to toggle suction power. The 2-way folding handle can be released by pulling the trigger on the back of the handle to bend it forward for cleaning under furniture or backward for storage.

Maintenance and Care
To maintain performance, empty the dirt cup before debris reaches the FULL line. Remove the hand vacuum, press the release button, and remove the filter cup to empty. Clean the filter by twisting it counterclockwise to remove it from the filter cup, tapping it against a waste container, and washing it with warm water and mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstallation. For brush roll maintenance, turn the unit over, slide the lock tab, and remove the brush roll to clear hair and debris.



Troubleshooting
If the vacuum won't turn on, check the battery charge or ensure the correct charger is being used. If the brush roll is not turning, check for obstructions or reset the brush roll. If suction is low, empty the dirt cup, clean or replace filters, and check for clogs in the foot area.
