finger inside the thumb groove and pull the compartment lid upwards.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner when changing any attachments.
Dust bag indicator and changing the dust bag
The dust bag should be changed when full. The dust bag indicator window will gradually turn red as the bag fills up and when the dust bag indicator displays ‘red’ it is time to change the dust bag.
Always switch appliance off, then switch off at the power outlet and unplug the appliance prior to replacing dust bags or filters.
To remove the dust bag, ensure the unit is down on its wheels, remove the crush proof hose and push the ‘Dust bag compartment lid release lever’ underneath the handle. Once the lid has released, pull the top cover back.
To remove the bag, grasp the top of dust bag and pull out, and dispose in a rubbish bin.
To place a new dust bag, take a fresh dust bag and with the arrow (printed on the material section of the dust bag) pointing down slide the material down into the dust bag holder, until it comes in contact with the bottom of the holder.

HINT: once the bag is inserted
When vacuuming fine dust particles, the fine dust particles can clog the pores of the dust bag and the dust bag indicator will indicate full. If this happens the bag could appear relatively empty, however the bag will still need to be changed to avoid strain on the motor.
NOTE:The bag compartment lid may not close if the bag is not correctly fitted.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE UNIT WITH OUT A DUST BAG IN PLACE
Replacing filters
Filters must be cleaned from time to time to remove the fine dust particles that have been collected.This can be done by shaking them; however after approximately 5 dustbag changes the filters should be replaced.
Motor protection filter

To replace the motor protection filter – Remove the dustbag or pull the bag forward.The motor protection filter is located at the rear, right hand side of this inner chamber. Pull the plastic filter holder upward to remove.
