HOW YOUR VACUUM CLEANER WORKS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidiy moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas­
sages. The dust bag !ets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the air­
flow passage open. Check the starred
areas occasionally for clogs. Unplug
from outlet before checking.
