If the suction power diminishes, it may be time to replace
the dust bag. Check the bag frequently to make sure that
you don’t overfill. Release the latches on the upper lid.
Lift up the lid from the container. Grasp at the cardboard
part of the dust bag and carefully lift the bag out of the
container. Some types of dust bag can be sealed to
prevent any dust/rubbish from being released.
In that case, peel off the protective paper and fold the
cardboard collar to seal the bag.

Main filter. This can be done after you have lifted out the

it can not be cleaned. Replace the dust bag and slide it in
place to the main filter. Then put back the lid and close the
latches.
12. HEPA filter:
HEPA filters cannot be cleaned or washed. Once they
have become dirty, they must be replaced. Check and
change the HEPA filter frequently. When handling a new

hold of the plastic framework instead to insure the HEPA
filter functions properly. To replace the HEPA filter: Unlock

container. Lift off the container and lid assembly. Turn the
HEPA filter counterclockwise and lift filter directly upward
to remove. Repeat in reverse order to install new HEPA

two latches on the motor top. Remove the container and
the upper lid. Place the pre-filter in the center of the motor
top. Lock both latches down.
