Bissell 1161 Hard Floor Expert Deluxe Canister Vacuum

Owner's Manual

This floor canister vacuum is fantastic at cleaning hard floors. The Turbine Hard Floor Brush is powerful, but with delicate cleaning to ensure no hardwood floors are damaged during the vacuuming process. It’s compact and lightweight at just over 9 pounds, making it easy to maneuver and store. Convenient digital fingertip controls allow you to change the suction level, making the Hard Floor Expert vacuum perfect for use on area rugs, drapes, and other delicate surfaces.

This Bissell vacuum features rubber wheels that won’t scratch or mark your floors, and the bristles on the brush are extra soft, for the gentlest clean. The Easy-Empty dirt tank opens from the bottom for mess-free disposal, and the automatic cord rewind makes the storage process hassle-free. It also comes with several onboard tools, including a dusting tool, crevice tool, telescoping extension wand and low-pile carpet tool to ensure that you have plenty of options for deep cleaning. It comes with a 2 year warranty, too, for added peace of mind.

The variable suction feature can be used as soon as the vacuum is plugged in. Press the main power button to activate the remote control button on the handle. Doing so will place the unit on standby. Press the “+” button to increase suction power, and press the “-” button if you’d like to decrease the suction power. The lights on the base of the canister indicate the level of suction power. When using the remote control, don’t cover the infrared emitter or block the infrared receiver on the body to ensure efficient communication between the emitter and the receiver.

The hard floor tool is suitable for use on wood, tile, and laminate flooring surfaces, and is ideal for removing dirt and debris. Please note that the roller brush on the hard floor tool will only rotate on hard floor surfaces (it can be used on carpet, but only rotates on hard flooring).The multi-surface brush switch features retractable brushes to clean carpets and hardwood floors. When you set the multi-surface brush switch to the carpeted position, brushes should retract, and when you set it to the hard floor position, brushes should be visible.
