bag compartnnent to protect the motor from dirt.
When it becomes dirty, simply rinse it out in warm
water and dry it thoroughly before replacing.

before re-installing It into the cleaner.
Clean Air Filter (Fig. 2)

The clean air filter (electrostatic), is installed in the
dust cover. This filter retains any small dust particles
which may be present in the expelled air.
It is advisable to change the clean air filter when it
becomes dirty. As a guide, once or twice a year is
usually sufficient.
To change the clean air filter, first remove the dust
cover and then slide out the filter support and simply
unhook the filter from the retaining ribs.
NOTE: Never use the cleaner without the correct filters properly installed. Failure to do so may
result in motor damaged.
