Replacing dustbag and filters
Dust bag indicator and changing the
dust bag
The dust bag should be changed when full.
The dust bag indicator window will
gradually turn red as the bag fills up and
when the dust bag indicator displays ‘red’
it is time to change the dust bag.
Always switch appliance to off, then switch
off at the power outlet, then unplug the
appliance prior to replacing dust bags or
filters.
To remove the dust bag, have the unit
down on its wheels, remove the crush
proof hose and then lift the ‘Dust bag
compartment lid release lever’ and pull
the top cover back
(Fig. 1/2-A)
To remove the bag, grasp the top of dust
bag and pull out (Fig. 2-B), and dispose in a
rubbish bin.
To place a new dust bag, take a fresh dust
bag and with the arrow (printed on the
cardboard section of the dust bag)
pointing down, slide the cardboard down
into the dust bag holder, until it comes in
contact with the bottom of the holder.
HINT: once the bag is inserted ‘puff-out’ the bag as
much as possible to ensure the full capacity of the
bag can be taken up. When vacuuming fine dust
particles, the fine dust particles can clog the pores
of the dust bag and the dust bag indicator will
indicate full. If this happens the bag could appear
relatively empty, however the bag will still need to
be changed to avoid strain on the motor.
NOTE:The bag compartment lid may not close if
the bag is not correctly fitted.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE
UNIT WITH OUT A DUST BAG IN
PLACE
Replacing filters
Filters must be cleaned from time to time
to remove the fine dust particles that have
been collected.This can be done by shaking
them, however after approximately 5
dustbag changes the filters should be
replaced.
Motor protection filter

be in place when operating the vacuum
otherwise damage to the motor may
occur.To replace the motor protection
filter - Remove the dustbag or pull the bag
forward.The motor protection filter is
located at the rear, right hand side of this
