3. Maintenance
Removing bag door
Familiarize yourself with these home
maintenance tasks as proper use
and care of your cleaner will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It
is recommended that you change
the filter bag when dirt reaches the
dotted line. If more dirt than this
accumulates, your cleaner will not
operate effectively.
Note: All new carpet has loose
fibers which can fill the bag quick-
ly while vacuuming. This type of
debris does not activate the "Check
bag" indicator.
So, if you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the
filter bag often, even if the "Check
bag" indicator does not show red.

Changing filter bag

ter bag often.
