Check bag indicator

(some models only )

The indicator (H) 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 at the front of the cleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bag opening; remove the blockage (see “Clearing blockages”section).

3. Maintenance

Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure contin- ued cleaning effectiveness.

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time. Change the filter bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your cleaner will not oper- ate effectively.

Note: 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.

So, if you are using the cleaner on new carpet, be sure to change the fil- ter bag often, even if you have a “Check Bag” indicator and it does not show red.

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