How To Maintain
The paper bag and filters play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the
paper bag is to trap dirt and at the same time the paper must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the
paper bag or filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning takes place regardless of
how powerful the unit. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and
clean the filters as necessary.
Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to
be full. When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, replace the bag and
clean filters more often.
Bag Change Indicator
The bag change indicator bar fills as the airflow through the bag
decreases. Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or
carpet fibers can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease
performance even before the bag appears to be full. When the
warning appears, change the disposable dust bag to restore maximum
performance. If a clean dust bag does not restore maximum
performance, clean the filters and check the hose and wands for
obstructions.
To install new dust bag:
3. Put in the new dust bag, GE branded,
Style CN-1, by placing holes (2a) in upper
corners of bag collar on pegs inside the
cleaner (3a). Make sure bag collar is
secured under the bag clip (3b) (The bag
compartment lid will not latch without
dust bag properly in place).
How To Change Disposable Dust Bag
To remove used dust bag:
1. Unplug the hose power cord to open the
lid of bag compartment.
2. Push the bag’s cardboard disc closed,
grasp the cardboard collar and lift out the
full bag.
