D - MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING  
CAUTIONS  
D-12 Exhaust filter  
Exhaust air filter,is installed in the rear side of the  
vacuum cleaner.  
This filter retains any small dust particles which may  
be present in the expelled air. It is advisable to change  
the clean air filter when it becomes dirty. To change the  
clean air filter,hold the exhaust cover (as illustrated)  
and pull it out.  
• The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet  
before cleaning or maintaining the appliance.  
To avoid injury, keep your fingers and hands away  
from the beater bar.  
After changed the filter, set the exhaust cover to  
original position(as illustrated).  
• DO NOT use hot air or hot surface to dry filters. Keep  
at room temperature for approximately 24 hours.  
• IMPORTANT: Before re-installing the washable filters,  
make sure they are completely dry to avoid damaging  
the cleaner.

filters properly installed. Failure to do so may  
result in damage to the motor.  
Indicator for replacing the dust bag  
What to do if your cleaner does not work

off the floor. If the dust indicator turns red, the dust bag is full  
and requires replacing the dust bag.

not close. Be sure to check that the bag is properly  
installed before operating, otherwise dust will leak  
out.

device has operated, wait until it resets after approximately  
60 minutes.
