Caution: Unplug from electrical outlet
before servicing.
MAINTENANCE
Note: Never operate the cleaner without the dust bag installed. This
cleaner has a safety feature which prevents the bag cover from
closing if there is no bag in place.
The paper bag and filters play a very important role in the efficiency of the
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is to trap dirt and at the
same time the paper must be porous enough to allow air to pass through.
If the paper bag or filters become clogged, no air can pass through the
cleaner and no cleaning takes place regardless of how powerful the unit.
To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust
bag frequently and clean the filters as necessary.
Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease
performance even before the bag appears to be full. When vacuuming
carpet fresheners or cleaners, plaster dust, or similar fine substances,
change the bag and clean the filters more often.
BAG CHANGE INDICATOR
The bag change indicator bar fills as the airflow through the bag de
-
creases. Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or carpet
fibers can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance
even before the bag appears to be full. When the warning appears,
change the disposable dust bag to restore maximum performance. If a
clean dust bag does not restore maximum performance, clean the filters
and check the hose and wands for obstructions.
NOTE: Bag indicator is functional only when cleaner is running.
REPLACING THE DUST BAG/CLEANING THE FILTER
CAUTION: Keep fingers away from Dust Bag cover when closing to
avoid pinching.

NOTE: Bag cover will not latch securely in place without a bag
installed in the dust bag holder.
When closing the lid make sure the holder is fully inserted and bag
cover latch is secured.
REPLACING THE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned or replaced when they become visibly soiled
or suction power is reduced. Always operate the cleaner with the filters
installed to avoid motor damage. The dust bag must be changed and
the filters cleaned or replaced if the window of the Clean Filter Indicator
changes into red when the cleaner is operating at maximum power and
the nozzle is raised from the floor.
Cleaning the motor filter

Remove the filter and shake out debris.
Rinse the filter in water if necessary. Let it dry before placing it
back into cleaner. (Fig. 3)
Cleaning the exhaust filter
