Assembly

WARNING:Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children.

Connect hose to vacuum by inserting hose connector on the end of the hose into the suction inlet. Make sure the hose is positioned so the tabs on the hose connector line up with the notches on the suction inlet. Once inserted into the suction inlet, turn clockwise to lock into place.
Attach extension wands section together by inserting into one another and twisting slightly to tighten.
Connect hose handle to the end of the extention wand and twist slightly to tighten.
Connect floor nozzle to the end of the extension wand and twist slightly to tighten.
Once assembled, you can store your vacuum by inserting the storage clip (located on the back of the floor nozzle) into the storage slot on the rear of the vacuum.

Operations

Power cord

The power cord is located at the rear of the vacuum. Gently pull out the power cord, watching for the yellow line. Stop pulling the power cord once the yellow line is visible. There is also a red line, which indicates the end of the usable cord. Do not pull the power cord out beyond the red line.

CAUTION:Be careful to avoid injury as cord retracts very quickly.

Automatic cord rewind

Your vacuum is equipped with an automatic cord rewind. When cleaning is finished, press the power button OFF and grasp the plug to disconnect from the electrical outlet. Hold the plug and press the automatic cord rewind button to rewind the cord automatically.

Power button

Turn the power ON or OFF by pressing lightly downward on the power button ().

CAUTION:Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dirt cup and all filters are in place. Do not operate your vacuum without the dirt cup and filters.

NOTICE:While vacuuming, certain types of carpets and low humidity conditions may generate small static discharges. The discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated in any way with the main power supply.

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.

Tip:Before cleaning under low furniture, check area first for objects that might harm the unit or block the hose.

Floor nozzle

Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare floors. Swivel head turns to get into tight spaces and fits under cabinets.

To vacuum carpets and rugs, push the brush switch to the carpet position. This will pull the brushes up into the floor nozzle.
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:Use the air flow regulator to reduce air flow as needed when using the tools.

Tip:Hair, string and small objects can block the hose and tools. Check them occasionally for obstructions.
