HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries
the dirt to the dust bag through the
airflow passages. The dust bag lets
the air pass through, while it traps
the dirt
For best cleaning results, keep
the airflow passage open
Check the starred areas
occasionally for clogs.
Unplug from outlet
