Disposable Filter Bag
For best performance, use only Genuine Kirby® Disposable
Filter Bags and replace them when dirt reaches the FULL line. A
Disposable Filter Bag must be installed before vacuuming.
To Remove a Used Disposable Filter Bag:
1
Turn the unit off. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Unzip the Outer Permanent Bag. Flip up the cardboard tab
that attaches the Disposable Filter Bag and pull it away.
Do not use as a vacuum cleaner without filter bag in place.
Before changing the Disposable Filter Bag, unplug the
power cord from wall outlet and be sure that the motor
and fan have stopped.
To Install a New Disposable Filter Bag:
2
With the Outer Permanent Bag unzipped and the Top
Adaptor pulled out, rest the cardboard faceplate of the
Disposable Filter Bag against the bottom of the Top Adaptor.
3
Pivot the cardboard faceplate up against the flat surface of
the Top Adaptor.
4
Bend and press the tab at the top of the cardboard face
plate onto the Top Adaptor to secure.
5
Check to make sure the Bag Support Strap is connected
through the small hole of the Top Adaptor and that it is
secured over the stud.
6
Insert the Disposable Filter Bag into the Outer Permanent
Bag and close the zipper.
