Care and Maintenance
Replacing Cloth bag or
Paper dust Bag
With your vacuum cleaner you have the option of using a cloth bag or paper 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 the vacuum cleaner
‘OFF’, then switch off at the power outlet and unplug the vacuum cleaner prior to replacing dust bags or filters.
To remove the dust bag, ensure the vacuum is down on its wheels, remove the crush proof hose and push the ‘Dust bag compartment lid release lever’ located at the front of the unit. Once the lid has released, pull the top cover back.
To remove the bag, grasp the top of the dust bag and pull out. If you are using the cloth bag dispose the dust in a rubbish bin. If you are using a paper dust bag you can dispose the bag with its contents in the rubbish bin.
To place a new dust bag, take a fresh dust bag and with the arrow
(printed on the front section of the dust bag) pointing down, slide the dust bag down into the holder, until it comes in contact with the bottom of the holder, then push the holding clip forward to secure.
NOTE: Once the bag is inserted
‘puff-out’ the bag as much as possible to ensure the full capacity of the bag can be taken up.
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.

WARNING: Do not use the unit without a dust bag in place.
Always switch the vacuum cleaner
‘OFF’, then switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the appliance prior to cleaning or replacing filters.
Cleaning and
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 dust bag changes, the filters should be replaced.
Motor Protection Filter
The motor protection filter must always be in place when operating the vacuum otherwise damage to the motor may occur.
To clean or replace the motor protection filter, remove the dust bag or pull the bag forward. The motor protection filter sits in grooves located at the rear of this dust bag chamber.
Pull the plastic filter holder upward to remove. To clean, separate the foam filter from the plastic holder and shake debris from the filter into a garbage receptacle.
When clean, replace the foam filter into the plastic holder and reinsert into the vacuum by pushing downwards into the grooves provided. To replace the filter, dispose of old filter and insert a new, clean filter into the vacuum cleaner.
Exhaust Filter
The exhaust filter should be cleaned after every use for maximum vacuuming performance. To clean, simply unclip the grill at the back of the vacuum cleaner and shake and tap the filter to remove any dust accumulated. Then relocate the filter and reattach the grill.
NOTE: Dirty and clogged filters may result in reduced suction performance. It is recommended that filters are cleaned after every use and replaced regularly to ensure maximum efficiency from your vacuum. If filters are left uncleaned, it may result in reduction of suction power.
