SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE USE.

When using an electrical appliance,
basic precautions should be observed,
including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR
UPRIGHT VACUUM.

Always connect to a polarized outlet (left slot is
wider than right). Unplug from outlet when not
in use and before conducting maintenance.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury:

■

Do not modify the polarized plug to fit a
non-polarized outlet or extension cord.

■

Do not leave vacuum cleaner unattended
when it is plugged in.

■

Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.

■

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

■

Do not allow children to operate vacuum
cleaner or use as a toy.

■

Close attention is necessary when used by
or near children.

■

Do not use for any purpose other than
described in this User’s Guide.

■

Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.

■

Do not use with damaged cord or plug.

■

If appliance is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, have it repaired at
an authorized service center.

■

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
appliance over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.

■

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

■

Do not handle vacuum cleaner or plug with
wet hands.

■

Do not put any object into openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked; keep
openings free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A
POLARIZED PLUG.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

This model is for household use only.

This User’s Guide has been designed to help you get the
most satisfaction from your BISSELL CleanView. You’ll find
assembly and operating instructions, safety precautions, as well
as maintenance and troubleshooting instructions. Please read
this Guide thoroughly before assembling your vacuum cleaner.

Pay particular attention to the product diagram, assembly
instructions, and part names. Locate and organize all parts
before assembly. Familiarize yourself with the parts and where
they fit. Following this User’s Guide will greatly enhance your
ability to get the most performance from your BISSELL
CleanView for many years.

The only tool you’ll need to assemble your vacuum
cleaner is a screwdriver.

Locate the vacuum Handle and remove the screw packet
taped to the base of the Handle.

Stand the vacuum upright and slide the base of the Handle
firmly into the grooves at the top of the vacuum body.

Check to be sure the Handle is fitted to the vacuum
body. If there is a gap in front, continue to push firmly
until the Handle is flush.

Insert one screw provided from the screw packet into the
existing hole. Tighten securely with a screwdriver.

Position the Hose Assembly on the back of the vacuum
as shown.

Attach the Hose with the remaining two screws from
the packet. Tighten securely with a screwdriver.

Grasping the Quick Reach Handle, slide the end of the
Hose Wand onto the suction intake opening. Snap the
Hose into the Hose Clip.

NOTE: The Powerfoot will not operate effectively
unless the hose wand is firmly attached to the
suction intake opening.
