HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid
unnecessary service calls, check the hose, bag and filter often. Change the bag if it is
full, and clean the motor filter when it is dirty.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the
vacuum.
Disposable Dust Bags and Filters
The dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll in the efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner. The purpose of the dust 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 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 and filter may need
to be changed more often.
