Your vacuum cleaner includes a power cord, which is automatically retractable. To extend your
power cord, pull from rear and extend to desired length. When cleaning is finished, first switch off
power and disconnect plug from electrical outlet. Then press on cord rewind button. If the cord
does not fully retract, pull it out again and then press on cord rewind button.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the hose and power cord must be disconnected
before changing the bag or performing maintenance/trouble shooting checks.

Upright Parking Position

Place unit on its side and reduce length of chrome telescopic tube to a minimum length.
Slide floor nozzle into locking position with receptacle which rests on top of unit.
2. Remove dust bag by pulling up on the plastic collar (if using cloth bag) or cardboard collar
(if using paper bag). Empty cloth bag or dispose of paper bags. Never reuse Paper Bags.
3. Insert a new paper bag or re-insert an empty cloth bag as far as it can go noting the direction
arrow on plastic or cardboard collar. By sliding in the cloth or paper bag, the side lever will
automatically go to the right allowing you to close the cover of the vacuum cleaner.
Note: Vacuum cleaner cover will not close if there is no cloth or paper bag is inserted in
the bag holder.
4. Close vacuum cleaner main cover.
Warning: Before closing main unit, make certain that sides of bag holder are pushed inside and
do not get caught between the hinges while closing the main unit.
Full Dust Bag Indicator
The red dust indicator may turn on while you are cleaning to indicate that the paper bag is full and
requires replacement. Note: Full Dust Bag Indicator only functions at maximum suction power from
variable control. You can test the Full Dust Bag Indicator by placing your hand over the end of the
Curved Hose/Wand Extension when vacuum is on – Indicator Should Turn Red.
Note: Regarding Cloth Dust Bag (Reusable)
If you are using the washable cloth bag, it should be emptied for reuse. Please note however
that the cloth bag will require periodic washing, especially while vacuuming fine dust particles that
can block suction. To wash cloth bag, first remove plastic bag collar attachment by removing all
four (4) screws. (Be careful not to lose any parts.) We suggest washing by hand in warm water
with laundry detergent until clean. Do not dry in electric dryer, cloth should be laid out or left
hanging to dry and then reassembled. To order additional cloth bags or paper bags, please call
1-800-798-7398 or 1-514-842-8691. Please see end of instruction book for costs and mailing
address.
Please note your vacuum cleaner includes both a Paper Bag and a Cloth Bag
. The cloth bag
offers convenience for reusability, however, please note that paper bags will offer the best cleaning
performance and clean air results. Select the one most suitable to your needs.
