HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid
unnecessary service calls, check the hose, bag and filter often. Change the bag if it is
full, and clean the motor filter when it is dirty.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the
vacuum.
Disposable Dust Bags and Filters
The dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll in the efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time, the paper
bag must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the bag or the motor filter
become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place
regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum
efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as needed. Some fine
particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before
the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or
cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filter may need
to be changed more often.
How to Remove Disposable Dust Bags–Style UB
NOTE: Turn off vacuum and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust
bag or cleaning motor filter. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without
the dust bag or filter.

Changing/Cleaning the Filters
The filters play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. If the
filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning takes
place regardless of how powerful the unit. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum
efficiency, check the filters frequently and clean when necessary.
There are two filters in your vacuum. The cleaner must never be used without the
filters.
