Frequently Asked Questions - V-C3815N LG

How do I change the dust bag in my LG V-C3815N?

To change the dust bag, first turn off and unplug the vacuum. Open the cover by pressing the hook (19) and lifting it up. Remove the old bag by pulling the handle. Insert a new bag (paper or fabric) by pushing its cardboard support into the bag mount (21) until it clicks. Close the cover. The appliance will not close if the bag is not fitted correctly due to the safety device.

How can I clean the HEPA filter?

Check the HEPA filter occasionally. Unplug the vacuum, open the filter cover (26), and remove the filter. Wash the washable HEPA filter with water at least once every six months. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Do not dry in an oven, microwave, or near open flames.

Why is my vacuum cleaner losing suction?

Loss of suction may be due to a full dust bag (change if indicator is red), blocked hose or tube, or clogged filters. Unplug the vacuum and check these areas. Also ensure the dust bag is not full of fine dust that clogs pores. Clean the motor filter and HEPA filter if needed.

What should I do if the vacuum suddenly shuts off?

The vacuum has a thermal protector that turns it off if the motor overheats. Turn off the switch and unplug. Check for a full dust tank, blocked hose, or clogged filter. Fix any issues and wait at least 30 minutes before plugging in and turning on again.

Can I use extension cords with this vacuum?

No, do not use an extension cord with this vacuum cleaner. It can create a fire hazard or cause product damage. Plug directly into a wall outlet with proper voltage as listed on the bottom of the vacuum.

How do I rewind the power cord?

After switching off and unplugging the appliance, hold the plug and press the button (12) to automatically rewind the cord. Keep children away and beware of obstructions as the cord moves rapidly.

Can I use the vacuum to pick up water or liquids?

No, this is a dry vacuum cleaner only. Do not use it to pick up water, liquids, or anything that is burning or smoking (cigarettes, hot ashes). Doing so could result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

How do I assemble the telescopic tube?

To assemble the telescopic tube (5), push the spring latch (6) forward, pull the tube to the required length, and release the latch to lock. Fit the tubes together by twisting slightly if using metal or plastic pipes.

What is the bag full indicator and how does it work?

The bag full indicator window (18) becomes completely red when the dust bag needs changing, even if it doesn't appear full. This can happen if fine dust clogs the bag pores. Change the bag when the indicator shows red at maximum power with the head off the floor.

How should I store the vacuum cleaner?

Store the vacuum cleaner indoors in a vertical position. After use, you can slide the hook on the large cleaning head into the clip on the underside of the appliance to keep it upright. Always unplug and rewind the cord before storage.
