Check bag indicator

(some models only)
The indicator (I) will begin to show red as
the filter bag fills with dirt.
There are three conditions that will cause
the indicator to become completely red:
2. If very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. If there is a blockage at the front of the
cleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bag
opening; remove the blockage (see
'Clearing blockages" section).

Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time.
Change the filter bag when dirt reaches
the dotted line. If more dirt than this
accumulates, your cleaner will not oper-
ate effectively.
Note: All new carpet has loose fibers
which can fill the bag quickly while
vacuuming.
This type of debris does
not activate the "Check Bag" indicator,
available on some models.
So, if you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the fil-
ter bag often, even
if you have a
"Check Bag" indicator and it does not
show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the
filter bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of
dirt. When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change filter
bag often.
