Maintenance

Changing the dust bag

The dust bag needs changing when the cleaner
is set to maximum power and the cleaner head is
off the floor but the "bag full" indicator window
(16) is completely coloured red.
Even if the dust bag does not appear to be full
at this stage, it should be changed. It could be
that a great deal of fine dust has clogged up
the pores of the dust bag.
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it.
• Open the filter cover (17) by pulling the latch
(18) and lifting it up.
Your appliance is equipped with either a paper
dust bag (19) or a fabric dust bag (20)
(depending on model)
• To remove the dust bag, pull the cardboard
(21) of the dust bag from the bag mouth (22).
• To refit a new bag, push the cardboard
support of a new bag into the bag mount (22)
until it will go no further.
Use only original Panasonic dust bags
Type C-20E
If your appliance is fitted with a fabric
dust bag
follow the same instructions as above.
Empty it and replace it (20). Do not wash it.
Cleaning the motor safety filter
The motor safety filter is situated inside the
appliance between the dust bag and the
motor. When if becomes dirty, we advise you
to remove the motor safety filter (23) and to
clean it by tapping to remove the dirt and then
replacing it in the vacuum cleaner.
Changing the air outlet filter
• To change the air outlet filter, open the filter
cover (17) by pulling the latch (18), take out
the air outlet cover (24) by pushing the lever
(25) and then change the filter (26).
