Frequently Asked Questions - PC7160 PROGRESS

How do I empty the dust container?

Press the dust container open button on the handle to release the container. Remove the filter set by pushing the button, then empty the contents. Reinsert the filter set and snap the container back into place.

How often should I replace the filters?

Replace the cartridge filter, motor filter, and exhaust filter at least twice a year, or when they become visibly soiled. The electronic filter indicator lights up when the dust container needs emptying or filters are clogged.

Can I vacuum liquids with this vacuum?

No. This vacuum is for dry vacuuming only. Do not use on wet surfaces or to vacuum liquids, mud, ash, or burning cigarette butts.

What should I do if the vacuum loses suction?

Check for blockages in the nozzle, tube, or hose. Also check if the dust container is full or if the filters are dirty. Clean or replace filters as needed. The cleaner may shut off automatically if blocked; disconnect and wait 20-30 minutes before restarting.

How do I rewind the power cord?

Press the cable rewind button with your foot and guide the cable with your hand to prevent whipping. Do not extend beyond the red mark on the cable.

What replacement filters are available?

Available filters: Cartridge filter (ET 407 133 0544), Motor filter (ET 407 133 0551), Exhaust micro filter (ET 407 133 0569), and HEPA filter (ET 407 133 057.7). Compatibility depends on model.

How do I clean the cartridge filter?

Yes. If airflow is blocked (e.g., clogged nozzle or dirty filters), the vacuum will automatically shut off. Disconnect from mains, wait 20-30 minutes for cooling, then remove the blockage and/or clean filters before restarting.

Can I use the vacuum without the dust container?

No. Always operate with the dust container installed. Operating without it may damage the motor and reduce suction.
