Changing the dust bag
If the vacuum’s suction is reduced, this may be because the bag needs
changing. Remove the floor attachment from the main wand, set the suction
force regulation to MAX, switch on vacuum cleaner using the on/off button,
and keep an eye on the bag change indicator. If it is red, the bag must be
changed.
1. Turn off and unplug cleaner.
2. Remove the hose, open bag cover by pushing
latch up with fingers and lifting bag cover.
3. Grasp the millboard at the top of the dust bag and
carefully remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner.
4. Throw the bag in the trash bin. Make sure that there are no holes in it.
5. Insert a new dust bag in the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner must never be used without a dust bag.
6. Close the vacuum cleaner again.
7. For best performance replace the bag after sweeping up large quantities
of fine material such as fine sand, cement, drywall dust, etc.
Cleaning the motor filter
1. The motor filter can be found in the dust bag container.
It protects the motor from dust and should be cleaned
at least twice a year, when it is dirty, or if suction force is reduced.
2. Pull the filter holder up out of the vacuum cleaner.
3. Open the filter holder, and remove the filter. Rinse the filter in tepid
water, and allow it to dry completely. Do not use a hair dryer or
anything similar to dry the filter
4. Return the filter to the holder, and snap the filter holder back in
place.
IMPORTANT! Never use the vacuum cleaner without a motor filter.
Cleaning & Washing the exhaust HEPA air filter
The exhaust HEPA air filter cleans the air a final time before it leaves the vacuum cleaner. You can clean the
exhaust HEPA air filter as follows:
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
2. Open the exhaust air grill (this is at the rear of the cyclone vacuum cleaner).
3. The exhaust air filter is visible when the grill has been opened.
4. Rinse the filter under cold running water and allow to dry.
5. Put the exhaust air filter back into place (or replace with a new one) and place in the grill.
