How To Replace Bags–Style AA Filteraire
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord before changing dust
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner
without the dust bag or the filter.
NOTE: Style AA Filteraire bags must be used
to maintain HEPA grade filtration and
prolong the life of the HEPA filter. Also
use AA Filteraire bags to maintain Micron
grade filtration and prolong the life of the
Micron filter.
NOTE: Models without HEPA or Micron filter
option, may use Style AA bags rather
than Style AA Filteraire.
It may be more convenient to lower the handle to the floor
before changing the bag.

Disposable Dust Bag and Filters
The disposable dust bag plays a very important role in
the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the
paper bag is to trap dirt. As the bag traps dirt, it must also
be porous enough to allow air to pass on 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 and check the
filters frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow
very quickly and will decrease performance even before
the bag appears to be full.
When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder,
plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filters
may require more frequent maintenance.
HOW TO MAINTAIN

To Remove Bag:
How to Check and Clear Hose Blockages
Low suction or poor pickup may be due to a blockage in the vacuum cleaner.
1. Remove hose and check suction at end of hose - if little or no suction, check disposable
dust bag. Change if needed. If no improvement proceed to step 2.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before clearing hose.
2. Remove the handle from the vacuum cleaner by removing the two screws and sliding
the handle towards the rear.
3. Once the handle is removed, disconnect the attachment hose from the unit by lifting
straight up on the hose adapter.
Check for any obstructions that may be in the hose. Any obstructions can be removed by
using a blunt instrument to clear the hose. Flexing the hose may help loosen the clog.
4. Reinstall the hose after clearing the clog. Make sure the hose is inserted into the top of
the vacuum cleaner before reattaching the handle.
NOTE: If no improvement in performance on carpet, proceed to following page.
1. Remove hose and check
suction at end of hose.
