Kleenmaid VC320 - Manual (Page 5)

CAUTION - Always switch off and unplug the machine
before changing the bag, filters etc.
Changing the bag
The orange light ( 25 ) indicates that there is a reduced air flow. This is
caused either by a full paper bag, or a blockage in the telescopic tube, the
handle, or the hose of the machine. ( To clear, refer to the blockage section.)
The nature of the contents of the bag will effect the point at which it needs
changing. Fine dust may require an earlier change even though the bag is
not full. Fluff or hair lets air pass through easily, so the bag may overfill with-
out the orange light operating.
To change the bag, put the machine upright and lift the flap ( 26 ). Follow the
diagrams on the bag to change the old bag for a new one. Please ensure
that the bag top (27) is located properly on both sides of the holder ( 28 ) and
pushed in until it locks. The cover ( 29 ) can only be closed with a properly
attached paper bag.
The used paper bag can be sealed with a cap which is included with
each bag in the KLEENMAID Filterbox and Service-Box-C2/C3 (Part-No.
5093ER and 6198ER ).
Do not re-use the paper bags.
Changing the filters
The KLEENMAID air belt VC 32O has a unique combination of two
microfilters, a Hospital Grade microfilter in front of the motor and one in
the exhaust (30, Part.-No. 6191ER and 31, 6033ER). They are also avai-
lable with ten paper bags in the KLEENMAID Service-Box-C2/C3 (Part.-No.
6198ER).
Both filters are recommended to be changed together. This would normally
be after the use of between 10 and 20 paper bags. Or when a significant
drop of suction is noticed, e.g. after a damaged bag.
After opening the cover the Hospital Grade microfilter can just be pulled
out. The exhaust microfilter is located in the microfilter holder which can be
pulled out. Check both microfilters regularly.
Never operate the machine with incorrectly attached filters
or without filters, bag, air belt or bag cover (29). The filters
must not be washed.
Active charcoal filter
An active charcoal filter (34, Part-No. 6108ER) for removing odours is
available. Take it out of the packaging just before fitting and put it in place
of the exhaust microfilter (31). Change it when its effect starts to decrease.
