Handle Adjustments
How to Change the Filters
The handle on this vacuum cleaner can be set to one of three positions – upright, middle or low.
How to Adjust the Handle
1. To release the handle, step on the foot pedal release on the left rear corner
of the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 1).
2. Upright position – for when cleaning tools are being used or for storage (Fig. 2).
Handle locks in this position.
3. Middle position – for normal cleaning (Fig. 3).
4. Low position* – for cleaning under furniture (Fig. 4).
* Once the vacuum is in the middle position, press the foot pedal again
and recline the handle further to place the vacuum in the low position.
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a secondary filter and a HEPA media
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. Lift the latch to remove the bag compartment
cover and remove the bag.
2. Remove the secondary filter and replace with a new filter (Fig. 5).
3. Replace the bag and bag compartment cover.
To Change the HEPA Media Filter
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Lift the latch to remove the bag compartment cover.
2. Remove the HEPA media filter from the front of the bag compartment (Fig. 6).
3. Insert a new filter and replace the bag compartment cover.
NOTE: HEPA media filters cannot be washed and used again.
