Replacing the Dust Bag
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before changing the bag or filter, or performing maintenance/trouble shooting checks.
Suggestion: When vacuuming new carpets or carpets with fine powders on them, the powder may clog the dust bag, therefore, check the bag more often.
NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT DUST BAG IN PLACE.
When the “dust bag full” indicator (4) becomes red, the dust bag should be replaced.
•Open the bag compartment cover (1) by putting your hand under the cover (1) and lifting it. (See fig. 7)
•Push back the black plastic tabs (A) towards you. This will release the cardboard base of the dust bag from the hooks (B), and allow you to slide the full bag upwards. (See fig. 8)
•To fit a new bag in the compartment:push the black plastic tabs (A) backwards. Slide in the empty bag. Make sure that the hooks (B) are holding the cardboard base of the dust bag. (See fig. 8)
•Close the bag compartment cover (1).

Note: The bag compartment cover (1) will NOT close if no bag is installed in the vacuum cleaner.
NEVER REUSE PAPER BAGS.
If you are using the cloth bags instead of the paper bags, the bags can be used and emptied repeatedly. For removing and inserting the cloth dust bag, follow the same instructions as for the paper bags above.
