Filters
Your Riccar vacuum cleaner is equipped with a secondary filter and a post filter.
These filters capture fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt. It is important
to change the filters regularly — approximately once a year, or as needed.
To Change the Secondary Filter
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover and the bag.
2. Remove the secondary filter and replace with a new filter (Fig. 5).
3. Replace the bag and bag compartment cover.
NOTE: Filters cannot be washed and used again.
To Change the Post Filter
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover.
2. Remove the foam filter from the front of the bag compartment (Fig. 6).
3. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE FILTER HOLDER.
4. Insert a new filter into the holder and replace the bag compartment cover.

cleaning, use the left side of the vacuum near walls or stationary furniture.
