Frequently Asked Questions - CALYPSO 1300 PROGRESS

How to change the paper bag?

Press the filter compartment opening button. Remove the used bag by pulling the closure tab. Insert the new paper bag fully into the guides, then close the cover. Important: the cover does not close without a bag.

When should the microfilter be replaced?

Replace the microfilter every five paper bag changes, or as soon as the saturation indicator stays red even with a new bag and the nozzle lifted. Open the compartment, remove the old filter by the hygienic tabs and insert the new one.

What does the red indicator on the vacuum mean?

The filter change indicator turns completely red when the paper bag is clogged. For an accurate check, set the appliance to full power and lift the nozzle off the floor. If the indicator stays red, replace the paper bag.

How to use the power control?

You can adjust the suction power in two ways: either with the electronic control on the appliance or with the secondary air regulator on the handle. Open the regulator to reduce power (e.g. for light curtains).

What to do if the vacuum stops suddenly?

This is probably the motor thermal protection that has activated. Turn off the appliance, unplug it and let the motor cool down for about 30 minutes. Check that the paper bag, tube and hose are not blocked.

How to clean the HEPA filter?

The HEPA filter can be cleaned by tapping it gently to remove dust. If it is very dirty or damaged (for example after an incident with the paper bag), replace it. Progress recommends changing it after one year.

Can I vacuum ashes or matches?

No, never vacuum hot ashes, matches, cigarette butts or sharp objects. This could damage the appliance or clog the filter. This vacuum is designed for dry dust only.

How to store the vacuum after use?

For storage, slide the floor nozzle into the tool holder rail. For a short break, use the parking system: hook the nozzle's hook into the parking rail at the back of the appliance.

Are the dust bags reusable?

No, paper bags are disposable. When removing, pull the closure tab to avoid contact with dust. Dispose of them with household waste. Insert a new paper bag before closing.

How to replace the power cord?

If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by Progress customer service or an authorized center. The entire rewinder must be changed by a professional. Never use the appliance with a damaged cord.

Power adjuster – Secondary air regulator\*

Using the regulator on the handle, you can reduce the suction power, e.g. when vacuuming light items (net curtains, rugs). The wider you open the regulator, the lower the suction power at the nozzle becomes

Maintenance and cleaning

Prior to maintenance or cleaning, ensure that the appliance is switched off and that the mains plug has been removed from the socket:

Changing the paper filter

The paper filter must be replaced if the window on the filter replacement indicator is completely red when the appliance is operating at maximum power and the nozzle is raised from the floor.

The paper filter should be replaced even if it does not appear to be full because fine dust can block the pores in the surface of the filter.

The cover can be opened by pressing the button and folding back until it locks.

Hygienic filter change: When removing the full filter bag, pull the closing tab to automatically close the opening. There will be slight resistance when the tab is pulled.

Bags full of normal household dust may be disposed of with household waste.

Insert the new paper filter as far as it will go in the guide rails; only then can the lid be closed. The cover cannot be closed unless a paper filter has been inserted. Please do not use force!

Changing the microfilter

We recommend replacing the microfilter at each fifth paper filter replacement, and at the latest when there is a clean dust bag and the dust level indicator is completely red with the nozzle raised.

Parking System

For storing the suction pipe and nozzle during short pauses in vacuuming. The bracket on the nozzle is slid into the parking rail on the appliance.

What do I do, if ...

... it is difficult to push the nozzle

Reduce the power setting on the appliance. This will not reduce cleaning efficiency.

... the motor thermal cut-out is activated

If the motor is overloaded, e.g. due to a full filter bag or blocked accessory, the thermal cut-out shuts down the motor. In this case, switch off the appliance, unplug from the mains, and leave the motor to cool down.

Check paper filter bag, suction tube and suction hose; remove any blockage.

The appliance can be switched on again after approximately 30 minutes.

... the fuse has blown

The fuse may blow if you use other electrical appliances with high power consumption on the same electric circuit at the same time as the vacuum cleaner is in use.

This can be avoided if you set the electronic power adjuster to the lowest power level and then select a higher level after switching the appliance on.

Your vacuum cleaner can be fitted with a gentle start-up control which reduces the starting current to the motor and therefore prevents the electric circuit cut-out being triggered under normal conditions. It is possible that there will be a delay of about 4 seconds in the appliance starting up on the lowest power level.

... the paper filter is damaged at some stage and the HEPA filter is dirtied

Remove the HEPA filter, clean (tap out) and replace.

Insert new paper filter.
