Maintenance
The following sections are concerned with proper maintenance of the
cleaner. Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks and keep
this owner’s manual in a convenient place where you can refer to it when
needed. Proper use and care of your cleaner will assure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before attempting to serv-
ice it in any manner.
The bag
Check bag from time to time and empty when necessary. Very fine materials
in large quantities, such as face powder, corn starch, fireplace ashes or fur-
nace soot, will seal the pores of the bag. If the cleaner is used to remove
materials of this type, empty the bag frequently.
Never operate cleaner
without the bag.
To empty bag
The bag is located behind the bag
door. Remove hose and set
cleaner back on end opposite bag
door to assure that the dirt settles
to the rear of the bag. Open bag
door by turning latch clockwise
and swinging door upward. Re-
move bag by grasping tab on
front of bag ring and pulling bag
from cleaner. Hold bag ring firmly
on a paper and shake bag vigor-
ously until it is clean. The bag
may also be turned inside out for
a thorough cleaning. Replace
bag. Use the Crevice Tool or
similar object to push bag into
proper position. Bag ring should
be seated against ridges in hous-
ing.
