4. MAINTENANCE
Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your vacuum will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
!!
A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the
thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.
If this happens proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Replace Filter Bag.
3. Inspect and remove blockage along the dirt path. This blockage may occur at the: nozzle inlet,
hose connector, hose, bag opening inlet, secondary filter and final filter.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
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 .
All new carpet has loose fibers which can fill the
bag quickly while vacuuming. This type of debris
does not activate the “Check bag” indicator
available on some models.
IMPORTANT
NOTICE
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.

vacuum. When purchasing a new bag, ask
