3. Maintenance
Familiarize yourself with these home
maintenance tasks as proper use
and care of your cleaner will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It
is recommended that you change
the filter bag when dirt reaches the
dotted line. If more dirt than this
accumulates, your cleaner will not
operate effectively.
Note: All new carpet has loose
fibers which can fill the bag quick-
ly while vacuuming. This type of
debris does not activate the "Check
Bag" indicator, available on some
models.
So, if you are using the cleaner on
new carpet, be sure to change the
filter bag often, even if you have a
"Check Bag" indicator and it does
not show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials,
such as face powder or corn-
starch, may seal the filter bag and
may cause it to burst even though
it is only partially full of dirt.
When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change fil-
ter bag often.
