HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To
avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Disposable Dust Bags
Paper bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose
of a paper bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time the paper bag must be porous
enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no air can
pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place, regardless of how powerful
the unit. Change the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that
reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar
fine substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.
How To Change Disposable Dust Bag–Style F & G
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before changing
dust bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.

Micron Filter ® Bag Care
(Micron Filter Bag is standard on some models)
Because the Micron Filter Bag is an effective filter medium, occasionally trapped dust
particles will need to be cleaned from the inside of it. The dust accumulation can be
vacuumed out with another vacuum or the bag may be removed to shake out. If you
desire, the bag may be hand laundered. The zipper on the bag should be down and
the bag should remain right side out. Use warm water (150°F 65°C) and a mild detergent.
Pre-soaking the bag in a laundry pre-soak is desirable for best cleaning results. Air dry
thoroughly before using.
DO NOT USE AN AUTOMATIC WASHER OR DRYER as either will cause abrasion to
the delicate polyester fabric. DO NOT DRY CLEAN as dry cleaning fluids will damage
plastic parts of your bag assembly.
