Vizio VS-03R instruction manual Looking After Your Vax, To change the dustbag, Dustbag Indicator

Looking After Your Vax

IMPORTANT: The Vax VS-03R is a very powerful vacuum cleaner. It will collect an extraordinary amount of dust and dirt, especially during the first few applications of use, which will quickly fill a paper dust bag or block the pores of a cloth dust bag. Excessive dust and dirt will also contaminate the motor protection and air outlet filters.

Any of these conditions usually result in a noticeable drop-off in suction, or a possible motor shut down due to thermostat activation.

On such occasions, it will be necessary to replace the paper dust bag or wash and thoroughly dry a cloth dust bag before reusing, and renew all filters to regain peak suction and performance.

Your appliance is equipped with a dust bag. If you notice that the vacuum cleaner seems to be less efficient than usual, check the dust indicator by selecting the maximum power and lifting the cleaner tool off the floor. If the indicator turns red, change the bag.

To change the dustbag

Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Lift up the catch to gain access to the dustbag compartment and raise the cover (fig.13). Pull the handle up to remove the bag holder (fig.13a). The bag can then be unclipped and disposed of hygienically (fig.14). Do not forget to regularly change the dust bag and filter. The efficiency of your cleaner and the life of the motor depends on it.

Dustbag Indicator

When the indicator light comes on or when the suction power reduces substantially, this indicates that you should change/empty the dust bag.

Attention: If after inserting a new dust bag, the indicator light stays on, this could be for several reasons:

•Suction passages may be blocked - check flexible hose and extension tubes, suction inlet, floor brushes and nozzles for obstruction.

•Check motor protection filter

•Check to see if air outlet filter is dirty

Check carefully which of these causes is making the light go on and correct it so that the vacuum cleaner can work normally.

Do not work the vacuum cleaner with this indicator light on, as this could cause irreparable damage to the motor.

Motor Thermostat

IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should over-heat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn the unit off. Remove the dirt container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the cleaner to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and switch back on.
