Maintenance

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

Replacing the Dust Bag

The Hoover Complete Performance uses a filtered dust bag that traps 99% of dust matter down to 5 microns. Replace the bag when the "BAG CHECK INDICATOR" turns red or when suction power decreases.

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet.
2. Locate the bag compartment door, usually on the front or side of the main body.
3. Open the compartment door. The used dust bag will be visible.
4. Carefully remove the full dust bag by pulling it away from the bag collar. The bag features an easy-release design for mess-free disposal.
5. Insert a new genuine Hoover Type Y or Type S replacement bag, ensuring the cardboard collar is fully seated in the bag holder.
6. Close the bag compartment door securely.

Filter Maintenance

Your vacuum may contain additional filters (e.g., pre-motor, post-motor). Refer to the specific filter locations in your model for cleaning or replacement instructions. Generally, these filters should be checked and cleaned/replaced every 3-6 months, or more frequently with heavy use.

Brush Roll Cleaning

Periodically inspect the brush roll for tangled hair, strings, or debris. Clear any obstructions to maintain effective cleaning.

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet.
2. Turn the vacuum over to access the brush roll.
3. Using scissors, carefully cut away any hair or threads wrapped around the brush roll.
4. Remove any debris from the brush roll and its housing.

Troubleshooting

Before performing any troubleshooting, always ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged.
