Indicator for replacing the dust bag
Turn the power control to the highest setting and lift the 
nozzle off the fl oor. If  the dust indicator turns red, the dust 
bag is full and requires replacing the dust bag.
NOTE:  If the dust bag is not properly installed, the cover will 
not close. Be sure to check that the bag is properly 
installed before operating, otherwise dust will leak 
out.

or clip between bag collar and body, so be sure to 
properly extend it into the vacuum cleaner body.

Filter care 
D-11  
Exhaust fi lter
 
  Exhaust fi lter is installed in the rear side of the 
vacuum cleaner.
 
  This fi lter retains any small dust particles which 
may be present in the expelled air. It is advisable to 
change the fi lter once or twice a year, depending on 
use. To change the fi lter, hold the exhaust cover (as 
illustrated) and pull it out.
 
  After changed the fi lter, set the exhaust cover to its 
position (as illustrated).
NOTE: 
IMPORTANT:  Never use the cleaner without the correct 
fi lters properly installed. Failure to do so may 
result in damage to the motor.
What to do if your cleaner does not work
 
Check that the appliance is correctly plugged in and that the 
electrical socket is working. In case that the thermal cut-out 
device has operated, wait until it resets after approximately 60 
minutes. 
If after having checked the mentioned points, the cleaner does 
not work, take it to an Authorized Service Centre to be repaired.
What to do when the suction performance 
reduces
• Stop the cleaner and unplug from the socket.
•  Check whether the wands, hose and accessories are blocked or 
not. If they are blocked, remove the obstruction.
•  Check that the dust bag is full. If it is full, replace it to a new 
one.
•  Check that Pre-motor Filter or Exhaust Filter is blocked with 
dust. If they are blocked, clean them out or replace.
