CLEANING DUST BAG
Whenever the dust bag full indicator light glows, check whether airflow is blocked or
whether the bag is full and needs cleaning. For the best cleaning performance, clean
the dust bag regularly.
1. Switch off and unplug unit from wall outlet.
2. Press hood release and lift canister cover.
3. Disengage dust bag from mounting bracket by pulling up the plastic frame to release
it from the locking tabs then slide it out.
4. Remove plastic clip at the top end of the bag.
5. After cleaning, install the dust bag. Make sure the 2 holes on the plastic frame are
facing down and slide the plastic frame until it locks in place. Tuck the back end
of the bag down.
6. Close the canister cover.
CAUTION
• Fine materials, such as carpet freshener, face powder, fine dust and plaster can clog
the bag and cause it to burst before it is full. Clean the bag more often when
vacuuming these materials.
CLEANING UNIT
Clean the casing, the metal extension tubes and the accessories with a damp cloth, and
wipe dry. Clean the dust bag whenever is full. The motor protection and exhaust air
filters should be checked, cleaned and replaced regularly.
CHANGING FILTERS
1. Turn off the power and remove the dust bag.
2. Grasp filters gently, and pull them out.
3. Wash filters in warm, soapy water; then rinse and air dry. (Replace the foam after a
few washes, as it will lose its dust-trapping ability.)
4. Replace filter in canister.
5. Insert dust bag.
WARNING: Do not operate the cleaner without properly installed filters and dust bag.
STORING UNIT:
Stand the canister upright and slide the spur of the carpet/floor nozzle into the nozzle
holder. Now the unit can be carried to a dry, cool, safe place where it can be stored
easily. DO NOT place it directly under the sun.
