Canistercare; Motor Safety Filter Cleaning - Sears Kenmore Vacuum Cleaner Owner's Manual

YOURVACUUMWORKS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up
diff, Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust
bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets
the air pass through, while it traps the diff.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open. Check the starred areas
occasionally for clogs, Unplug from outlet
before checking.
