Removing Clogs
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the air flow passage. 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 vacuum cleaner before checking airflow.
