The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas- sages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred areas occasionally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before checking.

BAG CHANGING

For best cleaning results, the dust bag should be changed often. The electronic/ mechanical bag/hose check indicator will

come on when the bag needs to be changed or the airflow is blocked.
