HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid
unnecessary service calls, check the bag and motor filter often.
Dust Bag and Filter
The paper bag and motor filter play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time, the paper bag
must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag or the motor filter
become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place
regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum
efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as needed. Some fine
particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the
bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners,
powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag may need to be changed and
the filter cleaned more often.
Bag Change Indicator
(featured on some models)
To remind you to change the bag, some models feature
a Bag Change Indicator. The Indicator, which is located
on the canister lid, moves across the window as the
airflow through the bag is decreased. Certain types of
fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road dust
can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease
performance even before the bag appears to be full.
Therefore, when the warning color appears, the cleaner’s performance is lower and the
dust bag should be changed to restore maximum performance. If a clean dust bag does
not restore maximum performance, check for obstructions in the hose or wands.
Check the Bag Change Indicator before each use by turning the cleaner on before
attaching the cleaner hose.
