How do I change the dust bag?

Switch off and unplug the vacuum. Open the front cover, rotate the bag support, remove the full bag, and insert a new one. Close the cover until it locks.

Clean the HEPA filter when the dust bin full indicator reaches the middle of the window. Tap gently or rinse with water (let dry completely before reuse). Replace every 3-6 months.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum?
