Filter bag

When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the filter
bag when it becomes full. If too much dirt
accumulates, your cleaner will not operate
effectively.
Note: All new carpet has loose fibers which
can fill the bag quickly while vacuuming.
If you are using the cleaner on new carpet, be
sure to change the filter bag often.
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.
