Familiarize yourself with these home
maintenance tasks as proper use and
care of your cleaner will ensure contin-
ued 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 quickly while vac-
uuming. So, if you are using the cleaner
on new carpet, be sure to change the fil-
ter bag often.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder or cornstarch, may
seal the filter bag and may cause it to
burst even though it is partially full of
dirt. When the cleaner is used to
remove material of this nature,
change filter bag often.
Where to buy
Filter bags may be purchased from
your Authorized Hoover Dealer
(Depot), leading retailers, Hoover Fac-
tory Service Centers or through The
Hoover Company on-line at
www.hoover.com.

into hose.

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 completely red:
1. The bag is full; change the bag.
2. Very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. There is a blockage in the nozzle, hose,
tools or at the bag opening; remove the
blockage (see “Clearing blockages”
section).
