Operations

Special toolsYour BISSELL PowerGroom Pet is not only a powerful carpet and rug vacuum cleaner, it’s also a versatile bare floor vacuum cleaner 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.

Powerhead:The PowerGroom Pet comes with the powerhead for your regular use. The powerhead has many features, including:

  1. A motorized, rotating brush that can be turned on/off by a switch on the handle so you can protect your bare floors.
  2. Six height adjustments so you can vacuum from non-carpet to carpeted areas with ease.
  3. Variable suction control which can be controlled on a switch located on the handle.

BareFloor tool: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.

Pet Tool Adapter:The Pet Tool Adapter must be attached to the handle end of the flex hose to use the Pet Contour Tool and the Wide Pet TurboBrush. The narrow end of the adapter attaches to the handle end of the flex hose and the wide end of the adapter attaches to the pet tool of your choice. The adapter should fit snugly to the hose and pet tool without using excessive force.

Pet Contour Tool:Use to reach into corners and edges on stairs, as well as armrests and other curved surfaces. The tool can be flipped to use in any direction.

Wide Pet TurboBrush:Use rotating brush action for small, flat areas such as cushions and beds.

Floor brush:Ideal for cleaning edges on bare floor.

Dusting brush:Use the dusting brush to dust furniture, blinds, books, lamps, shelves and baseboards.

Upholstery tool:Use the upholstery tool to clean curtains, draperies, cushions and fabrics.

Power cordThe 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.

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

Power buttonTurn the power on or off by pressing lightly downward on the power button ().

Motorized powerheadSet the power switch on the handle to 1 for rotating brush or 0 to turn rotating brush off.NOTE: The power brush will automatically turn off if the telescopic tube is in an upright position to protect your carpet from potential damage caused by the rotation of the power brush.NOTE: The power brush will automatically turn off if the rotator bar is blocked by clogs (hair, cloth, ect.) for your protection. In that case, turn off the power head, unplug the vacuum, clean the clog, and re-start the power brush.Variable suction power controlThe variable suction power control is located on the top of the handle. Slide the control toward the larger dots for maximum suction. Slide the control toward the smaller dots to minimize suction for lightly soiled areas or delicate fabrics.Variable height adjustmentsStep on the brush height adjuster located on the right side of the motorized powerhead to adjust for flooring type (lowest setting (1)for non-carpet, indoor areas, highest setting (6) for plush pile carpet).

CAUTION: Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dust bag and all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) are in place. Do not operate your vacuum without the dust bag and filters.

Handle positionPress the handle release pedal, located in the middle of the motorized powerhead, with your foot to place your vacuum into one of the three cleaning positions.

  1. Upright: For storage and above floor cleaning with tools.
  2. Normal Cleaning: Press handle release pedal once. Position used for most household floor cleaning tasks.
  3. Low Cleaning: With the vacuum in normal cleaning position, press handle release pedal again. Use for reaching under low furniture such as tables, chairs or beds.

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

Bag change indicatorThe bag change indicator is located between the power button and the automatic cord rewind button. If the bag change indicator turns orange while you are vacuuming, the dust bag needs to be replaced. The dust bag may appear to be full or only partially full depending upon the type of debris picked up. Fine particles can block the airflow in the dust bag and reduce suction before the dust bag is full. If the bag change indicator remains orange, even after changing the dust bag, turn the vacuum off and check for a clog in the hose or tools.
