The bag status indicator can also flash if there is a blockage. In this case,
check for the cause of the blockage.
FILTERS
The motor protection filter (placed next to the bag) should be removed and
rinsed with water twice per year or whenever visibly clogged. If the filter is
damaged, it should be replaced with a new filter. If the filter is worn, it
must be cleaned in a timely manner. To do so, remove the grille and shake the
filter to remove the accumulated debris. Afterwards, return the filter and
grille to their original position. To maintain the good performance of your
vacuum, the motor protection filter and exhaust filter (HEPA) should be washed
after the bag has been replaced 5 times. Hand wash the filters in warm water
and allow them to dry completely before returning them to the vacuum.
Note:
Do not use hot water or detergents. If the filters should become damaged,
replace them.
Do not attempt to use the vacuum without its respective bag and filters being
installed.
