Safety Precautions Replacing Vacuum Bag and Filters

This vacuum cleaner should be used for normal, dry household dust and dirt. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by use or operation of the vacuum contrary to these instructions. If the vacuum is wrongly operated for a purpose other than that for which

it is intended, no liability can be accepted for any possible damage.

• Do not vacuum areas which contain moisture or water, flammable matter, needles, pins,

razor blades, matches, cigarettes, etc., since they may damage the vacuum or vacuum bag.

Replacing the vacuum bag

Change the vacuum bag when the indicator is RED or suction power is weak. The dust cover will not close without

a bag in the unit or if the bag is not properly installed.

• When rewinding the power cord, hold the plug before pressing the cord rewind button to

prevent the cord from whipping.

• Make sure a vacuum bag and filters are always in place.

• This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the

plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat

the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

1. Pull the bag holder straight out to access the bag.

2. Push the latch on the underside of the holder to release the bag collar.

3. Remove and discard the used bag. NOTE: The Performance HEPA™ bag cannot be reused.

4. Secure the new bag with the bag collar holder latch. Slide the tab on the bag holder into the slot on the front of the bag compartment.

Replacing the secondary filter

1. Open the bag compartment and locate the

filter behind the vacuum bag. For better access to the secondary filter, remove the

bag holder and bag.

2. Slide filter holder up and out.

3. Remove the used filter and replace it with

a new filter.

4. Slide the filter holder back in place and replace the bag holder and bag.

Replacing the HEPA filter

compartment near the door hinge.
