If you notice the vacuum portion on your Symphony™ is not picking up as much debris and dirt as it should, there are simple steps you can take to restore full suction:
- For example, the dirt container may be full
- In this case empty the dirt container
- To start, simply move the lock button on the front of the easy empty dirt tank to the left then remove the tank
- To empty press the bottom lid release button on the back of the dirt tank
- At this point, you could check for a dirty vacuum filter which can also cause low suction
- With the dirt tank removed you can then remove the filter cartridge from the dirt separator
- Next, remove the premotor filter and brush off the debris
- Then, take the post-motor filter and tap it firmly against the inside of a waste container to remove any visible dirt
- At this point you can replace the cleaned filter back into the dirt tank or replace it with a new filter available at BISSELL.com
- Once emptied, mount the easy empty dirt tank back on the Symphony™ base, and push the lock button to the right until it is centered on the front of the unit
- Low suction can also be caused by improper installation of the dirt container
- To correct this, reposition the dirt container, and move the lock button to the right until it is in the center of the unit
- If the foot of the Symphony™ is loose it may cause low suction
- Make sure the foot is fully inserted into the Symphony™ lowering the unit into the foot until the unit clicks into place
- Finally low suction may be caused by improper installation of the hose tube
- To check installation remove the hose tube from the Symphony™ body then reattach the hose to the hose opening of the Symphony™ inserting the lower portion of the hose to the Symphony™
- At this point full suction should return
