Installing filter bag / dust bag
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Do not use a damaged filter bag.
Always use the vacuum cleaner with the filter bag
properly installed. Otherwise the vacuumed dust
or particles may be exhausted from the cleaner
and they may cause respiratory disease to the
operator.
NOTICE:
When the filter bag is already full,
replace with new one. When the dust bag is
already full, empty it. Continuous use with the filter
bag/dust bag full results in reduced suction power.
NOTICE:
To prevent dust from getting into the
motor:
— Make sure that the filter bag/dust bag is
installed before use.
— Do not use a broken or ripped bag.
Otherwise the motor may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not fold the cardboard at its open-
ing when installing the filter bag/dust bag.
NOTICE:
The filter bag/dust bag for the cleaner
is an important component for maintaining the
appliance performance. Using non-genuine filter
bag/dust bag may cause smoke or ignition.
NOTE: When the filter bag/dust bag is not installed in
the cleaner, the front cover does not close completely.
