User Manual for Bissell CleanView 1332R Vacuum Cleaner

Quick guide from the manual

This guide provides essential information for operating and maintaining your Bissell CleanView 1332R vacuum cleaner. Always ensure the dirt tank is locked and both filters are in place before use. If you experience low suction or poor pickup, check for clogs in the hose or brush roll, and ensure the filters are clean.

Product overview

The vacuum features a handle, power switch, dirt tank, and various tools including a dusting brush, crevice tool, and extension wand. The powerfoot includes a height adjustment knob for different floor surfaces.

Assembly

Tools required: Phillips-head screwdriver.

• Handle: Slide the handle base into the opening at the top of the vacuum body. Secure it with the two provided screws using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
• Hose and tools: Attach the extension wand clip to the back of the vacuum base. Attach the Twist 'n Snap hose by lining up the tabs on the cuff with the notches on the back of the vacuum and twisting clockwise. Slide the hose wand into the base and fold the hose over the upper hose wrap.

Operations

• Power switch: Depending on the model, the switch is either a rocker switch on the left side or a button on the front of the handle.
• Handle position: Press the handle release pedal to select between Upright (storage/tools), Normal cleaning, or Low cleaning (under furniture).
• Height adjustment: Use the dial on the foot of the cleaner to select one of five settings based on carpet pile height.
• Automatic cord rewind: Pull the cord out until the yellow line is visible. Do not pull beyond the red line. To rewind, turn the power off, unplug, and press the automatic cord button.

Maintenance and care

• Dirt tank: Empty when dirt reaches the Full line. The tank can be washed in warm water with mild detergent; ensure it is completely dry before reassembly.
• Filters: Check the pre-motor filter monthly. The foam filter is washable in warm water with mild detergent. The post-motor filter should be replaced every three to six months and is NOT washable; tap it against a garbage container to clean.
• Brush roll and belt: Regularly check for hair and debris. To clean, unplug the unit, remove the six screws on the bottom, and lift the brush cover. If the belt is worn or broken, replace it with a genuine Bissell style 9 replacement belt (#203-1093).

Troubleshooting

If the vacuum won't turn on, check the fuse or circuit breaker. If it won't pick up dirt, check the height adjustment, ensure the hose is attached, check for clogs, empty the dirt tank, or clean/replace filters. If the vacuum is difficult to push, adjust the height setting to a higher level.
