6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum cleaner.

6.1 Dust Bag Replacement

The vacuum cleaner uses S-Bag® Classic Long Performance dust bags. Replace the dust bag when the 'S-Bag' indicator light illuminates or when suction power noticeably decreases.

1. Power Off and Unplug: Always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before replacing the dust bag.
2. Open Dust Bag Compartment: Locate and open the dust bag compartment cover.
3. Remove Full Dust Bag: Carefully pull out the full dust bag. The S-Bag® design ensures hygienic sealing, preventing dust from escaping.
4. Insert New Dust Bag: Slide a new S-Bag® Classic Long Performance dust bag into the holder, ensuring it is fully seated.
5. Close Compartment: Close the dust bag compartment cover until it clicks shut.

6.2 Filter Maintenance

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a HEPA filtration system. Regularly check and clean or replace filters as recommended.

• Motor Filter: Check the motor filter (located before the dust bag) every 3-5 dust bag changes. Clean by tapping it over a waste bin or replace if heavily soiled.
• Exhaust Filter (HEPA): The HEPA filter is typically located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner. Check it every 5-7 dust bag changes. This filter is usually not washable and should be replaced when visibly dirty or if odors occur.
• Always ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing them.

6.3 Cleaning the Nozzles and Accessories

• Regularly check the floor nozzle and other accessories for tangled hair, threads, or blockages.
• Remove any obstructions to maintain optimal suction performance.
