Check bag indicator
The indicator (K) will begin to show
red as the filter bag fills with dirt.
There are three conditions that will
cause the indicator to become com-
pletely red:
1. If the bag is full; change the bag.
2. If very fine materials have been
picked up, clogging the bag pores;
change the bag.
3. If there is a blockage in the nozzle,
hose, tools or at the bag opening;
remove the blockage (see “Clearing
blockages” section).

3. Maintenance
Familiarize yourself with these home
maintenance tasks as proper use
and care of your cleaner will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It
is recommended that you change
the filter bag when dirt reaches the
dotted line. If more dirt than this
accumulates, your cleaner will not
operate effectively.
Note
:
All new carpet has loose
fibers which can fill the bag quick-
ly while vacuuming.
This type of
debris does not activate the “Check
bag” indicator available on some
models.
So,
if you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the
filter bag often,
even if you have a
“Check bag” indicator and it does
not show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials,
such as face powder, cornstarch,
fireplace ashes or fireplace soot,
may seal the filter bag and may
cause it to burst even though it is
only partially full of dirt. When
cleaner is used to remove material
of this nature, change filter bag
often.
