BAG CHECK INDICATOR

The indicator (L) will begin to show red as the filter bag fills with dirt. There are three conditions that will cause the indicator to become completely red:

1. If the bag is full; change the bag.
2. If very fine materials have been picked up, clogging the bag pores; change the bag.
3. If there is a blockage in the nozzle, hose, tools or at the bag opening; remove the blockage.

4. MAINTENANCE

Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your vacuum will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.

▲ NOTICE ▲

A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.

If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Replace Filter Bag.
3. Inspect and remove blockage along the dirt path. This blockage may occur at the: nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, bag opening inlet, secondary filter and final filter.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.

FILTER BAG: When to Replace

Check filter bag from time to time. It is recommended that you change the filter bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your cleaner will not operate effectively.

• IMPORTANT •

All new carpet has loose fibers which can fill the bag quickly while vacuuming. This type of debris does not activate the "Check bag" indicator available on some models.

CAUTION

Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is partially full of dirt. When the cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often.
