Safety Precautions

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.

• 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.

Replacing Vacuum Bag and Filters

Replacing the vacuum bag

When to change ﬁlters

At minimum, it’s recommended to replace the HEPA and charcoal filter after using twelve vacuum bags.

If someone in your household is sensitive to airborne allergens, it is recommended to change the filter set after every six vacuum bags.

Replacing the secondary filter

Change the vacuum bag when the full bag indicator light is flashing RED or suction power is weak. The

bag compartment will not close without a bag in the unit or if the bag is not properly installed.

1. Open the bag compartment.

2. Pull the tab on the cardboard bag collar, closing the bag while removing it from the bag holder.

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

4. Slide a new bag into the bag holder until it

clicks into place.

1. Open the bag compartment and locate the filter behind the vacuum bag. For

better access to the secondary filter,

remove the bag.

2. Pull the filter holder out toward you.

3. Remove the used filter and replace it with

a new filter.

4. Slide the filter holder back in place and

replace the bag.

Replacing the HEPA filter
