We recommend the use of genuine Panasonic bags Type C-2E only.

IMPORTANT: When the dust bag is not in position or it has not been installed correctly, the dust cover will not close.

D-2) Filter care

Central Filter (Fig. 1) Part no. AMC8F29L1000

The central filter (electrostatic), is installed in the dust bag compartment to protect the motor from dirt.

It is advisable to change the central filter when it becomes dirty. As a guide, once or twice a year is usually sufficient.

To remove the central filter, hold the filter at the top (as illustrated) and pull it out.

Clean Air Filter (Fig. 2) Part no. AMC8F28L1000

Part no. AMC8F28L2000 / MC-E962K

The clean air filter (electrostatic), is installed in the rear side of the cleaner. This filter retains any small dust particles which may be present in the expelled air.

It is advisable to change the clean air filter when it becomes dirty. As a guide, once or twice a year is usually sufficient depending on use.

To change the clean air filter, hold the exhaust cover (as illustrated) and pull it out.

IMPORTANT: Never use the cleaner without the correct filters properly installed. Failure to do so may result in motor damaged.

D-3) How to replace the dust sensor battery

The dust sensor is operated by a 9V battery.

To check the battery condition, set the vacuum cleaner at Max. suction power. If the indicator lamps do not light, replace the battery.

To change the battery remove the screw from the cover as shown in Fig.1. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Be sure to place the battery with the + and - polarity properly aligned.

If after having replaced the battery, the indicator lamps still do not operate, take the nozzle to an Authorised Service Centre for repair.

NOTE: For a long life durability and to protect the environment, we recommend the use of Panasonic battery type 6LR61/1BP.
