How to Change Dust Bag
and Filters
CAUTION: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord
before servicing the cleaner. Never operate the
vacuum cleaner without the dust bag in place.
NOTE: When cleaning new carpet for the fi rst time, bag
will fi ll quickly. Check often.
Change dust bag V when display F turns orange (can be
checked with the appliance operating at maximum suction
and with the nozzle raised from the fl oor). A change may be
necessary even if the bag does not appear to be full. Fine
dust can block the pores and reduce the suction power of the
appliance.
• Remove hose and open the bag cover lid by pulling release
catch G.
• Remove dust bag V by pulling on the sealing tab.
• Push new dust bag into the retainer until it clicks into place.
Take care when closing the dust chamber lid that the dust
bag is completely inside the dust chamber border. The
dust chamber lid will not close unless a dust bag has been
inserted. Please do not use force!
• Change motor fi lter Z if display F is still orange after the dust
bag has been changed or if the suction power is signifi cantly
reduced although the dust bag has little in it.
• Replace hose.
• Press fi lter cover button W and open fi lter cover Y.
• Check HEPA fi lter often and replace as necessary.
• Replace HEPA fi lter X and close lid.
Use GENUINE SANITAIRE replacement motor fi lter 39811,
HEPA Filter, SP012 and bag SP200, package of 5.
