Operations
Special tools
Your BISSELL Zing Canister is not only a powerful carpet and rug vacuum cleaner, it’s also a versatile bare floor and above floor vacuum cleaner when you select one of the special tools.
Floor nozzle
Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare floors. Swivel head turns to get into tight spaces and fits under cabinets.
1.To vacuum carpets and rugs, push the brush switch to the carpet position 
. This will pull the brushes up into the floor nozzle.
2.To vacuum bare floors, push the brush switch to the bare floor position 
. This will extend the brushes down from the floor nozzle.
Combination crevice tool/ dusting brush
Use the crevice tool in tight, narrow spaces. Use the dusting brush to clean curtains, draperies, cushions and fabrics.
Air flow regulator
Open the air flow regulator by sliding the regulator down towards the extension wand to an open position. This will reduce the suction power for vacuuming delicate fabrics.
For full suction power, close the air flow regulator by sliding the regulator up to the closed position.
Tip:
Before cleaning under low furniture, check area first for objects that might harm the unit or block the hose.
