4. Insert New Bag: Take a new FERM vacuum cleaner bag. Align the cardboard connector of the new bag with the inlet nozzle inside the vacuum cleaner's dust compartment. Push the cardboard connector firmly onto the nozzle until it is securely seated. Ensure the rubber seal creates a tight fit around the nozzle to prevent dust leakage.

5. Usage

Once installed, the vacuum cleaner bag functions automatically during vacuum operation. It collects dust, dirt, and debris, preventing them from entering the motor and ensuring clean exhaust air. Regularly check the bag's fill level to maintain optimal suction power.

6. Maintenance and Replacement

For consistent cleaning performance, it is crucial to replace the vacuum cleaner bag regularly. The frequency of replacement depends on the amount and type of debris collected.

• When to Replace: Replace the bag when it is approximately two-thirds full, or when you notice a significant decrease in suction power, even if the bag does not appear completely full. Overfilling the bag can strain the vacuum motor and reduce efficiency.
• Replacement Procedure: Follow the steps outlined in the "Installation" section (Section 4) to safely remove the old bag and install a new one.
• Disposal: Always dispose of used vacuum bags in a sealed manner to prevent dust and allergens from re-entering the environment.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues related to the vacuum cleaner bag, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction: Check if the bag is full and requires replacement. Also, ensure the bag is correctly installed and the cardboard connector forms a tight seal with the vacuum's inlet nozzle.
• Dust Leakage: Verify that the bag is properly seated and sealed. Ensure the vacuum cleaner housing is closed tightly.
• Bag Not Fitting: Confirm that you are using genuine FERM VCM1003 compatible bags. Refer to the specifications in Section 3.
