Regular cleaning and timely replacement of your CONTIA filter will ensure your Bissell CrossWave operates at its best.

Cleaning the Filter

The filter can be cleaned to extend its lifespan:

• Remove the filter from the vacuum cleaner as described in the Installation section.
• Rinse the filter thoroughly under clean, running water. Gently tap to dislodge debris.
• Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use heat to dry the filter.
