aintenance and care

Bag change indicator

The bag change indicator is located below the swivel hose. 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.

Replace dust bag

Never reuse a dust bag. Use only BISSELL replacement dust bags in your Zing Bagged canister vacuum.

1. Turn the power OFF ( ). Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.

2. Disconnect the flex hose by turning the hose cuff counterclockwise.

3. Open the dust bag compartment by lifting up on the latch located underneath the carry handle.

4. Remove the dust bag by sliding the cardboard dust bag cuff out from the bag holder grooves. Dispose of the used dust bag.

5. Using a new dust bag, align the cardboard dust bag cuff with the bag holder's black grooves. Slide the bag cuff into the grooves with the black arrow pointing up.

NOTE: The bag holder pivots up and down. Before closing the vacuum tank, make sure the dust bag is securely placed and the bag holder is in the down position.

6. Close dust bag compartment door and press down gently until it locks into place.

compartment will not close without the vacuum bag in place.
