DUST BAG (Style SL)
The dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The
bag traps the dirt and allows the air to pass through. If the bag becomes clogged, no
air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how
powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the
dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict air flow very quickly and will
decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when
vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine
substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.
NOTE: When cleaning new carpet for the first time, bag will fill quickly. Check
often.

HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To
