Setup and Assembly

The BISSELL AeroSwift Compact Vacuum Cleaner is designed for easy, tool-free assembly.

1. Attach the Handle: Insert the upper handle assembly into the main vacuum body until it clicks securely into place.
2. Connect the Hose: Connect the flexible hose to the designated port on the back of the vacuum. Ensure it is firmly attached.
3. Store On-Board Tools: Place the included attachments (Crevice Tool, 2-in-1 Dusting Brush, Extension Wand, TurboBrush) into their designated storage slots on the vacuum for easy access during cleaning.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Press the power button, typically located near the base, to turn the vacuum on or off.
2. Adjust Height Settings: The vacuum features 5 adjustable height settings. Use the dial or lever on the vacuum head to select the appropriate height for your floor type (e.g., low for hard floors, higher for thick carpets). This ensures optimal cleaning and prevents scattering debris.
3. Vacuuming Floors: Gently push and pull the vacuum across the floor surface. For best results, move at a steady pace. The Scatter-Free Technology helps prevent debris from scattering on hard floors.

Using On-Board Tools

The AeroSwift comes with several convenient on-board tools for specialized cleaning tasks:

• Extension Wand: Use this to extend your reach for high areas, ceilings, or under furniture.
• Crevice Tool: Ideal for tight spaces, corners, and edges.
• 2-in-1 Dusting Brush: Perfect for dusting delicate surfaces, blinds, and upholstery.
• TurboBrush: Provides powerful rotating brush action for stairs, upholstery, and pet hair removal.

To use an attachment, detach the hose from the main unit and firmly connect the desired tool to the end of the hose or extension wand.

Maintenance

Emptying the Dirt Tank

The vacuum features a one-touch empty dirt tank for convenient disposal of debris.

1. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged.
2. Locate the release button on the dirt tank.
3. Press the button to detach the dirt tank from the vacuum.
4. Position the tank over a trash receptacle and press the bottom release latch to empty the contents.
5. Close the bottom flap and reattach the dirt tank to the vacuum until it clicks securely.

Filter Cleaning

The Cyclonic Technology helps keep filters cleaner for longer. Regularly check and clean the filters to maintain optimal suction performance.

• Unplug the vacuum.
• Remove the dirt tank and locate the filters (refer to your product diagram for exact locations).
• Tap filters over a trash can to remove loose dirt. If washable, rinse with warm water and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
• The Febreze filter helps eliminate odors and freshen your space. Replace as needed.

Troubleshooting

If your vacuum is not performing as expected, consult the following common issues:

• No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed.
• Poor Suction:
• Check if the dirt tank is full and empty it if necessary.
• Inspect filters for clogs and clean them.
• Check the hose and attachments for any blockages.
• Brush Roll Not Rotating:
• Ensure the vacuum is in the correct height setting for the floor type.
• Check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris and remove any obstructions.
