Power cord

The power cord is located at the rear of the vacuum. Gently pull out the power cord, watching for the yellow line. Stop pulling the power cord once the yellow line is visible. There is also a red line, which indicates the end of the usable cord. Do not pull the power cord out beyond the red line.

Automatic cord rewind

Your vacuum is equipped with an automatic cord rewind. When cleaning is finished, press the power button OFF ( )and grasp the plug to discon-nect from the electrical outlet. Hold the plug and press the automatic cord rewind button to rewind the cord automatically.

Variable suction power control

The variable suction power control is located on the top of the vacuum. Turn the control toward the larger dots for maximum suction. Turn the control toward the smaller dots to minimize suction for lightly soiled areas or delicate fabrics.

CAUTION: Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dust bag and all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) are in place. Do not operate your vacuum without the dust bag and filters.

Bag change indicator

The bag change indicator is located below the swivel hose. If the bag change indicator turns orange while you are vacuuming, the dust bag needs to be replaced. The dust bag may appear to be full or only par-tially full depending upon the type of debris picked up. Fine particles can block the airflow in the dust bag and reduce suction before the dust bag is full. If the bag change indicator remains orange, even after changing the dust bag, turn the vacuum off and check for a clog in the hose or tools.

Dust bag replacement
  1. Turn the power OFF ( ). Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
  2. Disconnect hose

  2. Check the cleaner for the source of overheating problem (i.e. full dirt cup, dirty filters or clog).
  3. Fix the problem by following the steps in the maintenance section of the user guide.

WARNING: Do not operate cleaner with damp or wet filters or without all filters in place.Tip: For maximum cleaning performance, check the filters often and clean or replace if necessary.
