HOWYOUR VACUUM CLEANER WORKS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas­
sages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through, whiie it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the
airflow passage open. Check the
starred areas occasionally for
clogs. Unplug from outlet
before checking.
For best cleaning results, the dust bag
should be changed often. The performance
indicator wiil come on when the bag needs
to be changed or the airflow is blocked.
