ATTACHMENT CLEANING
Adjusting the Suction Power for Tool Cleaning
Full suction power may be too strong for some cleaning situations. For example, reduced
suction power would be appropriate for cleaning sheer curtains.
On the hose handle, locate the Suction Relief Dial and rotate it open. This reduces the
suction power coming through the hose. Rotate the dial closed (Fig. 1) when finished to
restore full suction power.
Wand Cleaning
Extend the wand by pushing the wand extension button and pushing the wand outward to
the desired length (Fig. 2).
Disconnect the wand from the hose handle by pressing the Handle Release Button (Fig. 3).
Tools Adapter
Attach the adapter to the end of the wand to use other cleaning tools not included with this
vacuum (Fig. 4).

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Fig. 2
Fig. 1
When to Change the Vacuum Bag
The Full Bag Indicator changes to red to show
when the bag is full or when there is a clog
in the vacuum (Fig. 1).
The indicator could also turn red when
vacuuming fine powders such as flour or
drywall dust. These materials can quickly
block the bag pores, significantly reducing
airflow before the bag is actually full. The
vacuum bag should still be changed.
The indicator may also turn red during
attachment cleaning. If the indicator changes
to green when attachments are no longer
in use, the vacuum bag does not need to
be changed.
NOTE: The vacuum bags are disposable and
should only be used once. Do not attempt
to reuse the bag, as suction and filtration
performance will be greatly reduced.
Replacing the Vacuum Bag
Change the vacuum bag when the full bag
indicator changes from green to red or when
the suction power is weak.
• Open the bag compartment lid (Fig. 2).
• Pull the tab on the bag collar, which
closes the bag while removing it from
the bag holder.
• Remove and discard the used bag.
• Slide a new bag into the bag holder until
it clicks into place.
• Close the bag compartment lid.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
When to Change the Filters
At a minimum, it’s recommended to replace
the HEPA media and secondary filters after
using 12 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 HEPA Media Filter
• Open the bag compartment lid and
locate the filter behind the vacuum bag.
For better access to the HEPA media
filter, remove the bag.
• Grasp the tab with two fingers and pull
the filter out toward you. Replace with
a new filter by sliding the filter in and
pushing down on the top of the tab
until it clicks into place (Fig. 1).
NOTE: The HEPA media filter cannot be
washed and reused.
Replacing the Secondary Filter
• Open the bag compartment lid and
locate the filter behind the vacuum bag.
For better access to the secondary filter,
remove the bag.
• Pull the filter holder up (Fig. 2).
• Remove the used filter and replace it
with a new filter.
• Slide the filter holder back into place and
replace the bag.

MAINTNANCE AND CARE
Power Cord Care
• If the cord or plug has any apparent damage, refrain from using the vacuum.
Please visit an Authorized Simplicity Vacuum Retailer for a new cord or plug.
• When the vacuum is in use, hold the cord to keep from running over it.
• Avoid obstructions and do not pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
• Always keep the cord away from heated surfaces and never close doors on it as
this may cause damage to the wiring.
• To unplug, always grasp the plug, not the cord.
