2. When to Replace the Sealing Ring

The dust bin top fixed sealing ring may require replacement if you observe any of the following issues:

• Reduced Suction Performance: A worn or damaged sealing ring can lead to air leakage, significantly decreasing the vacuum's suction power.
• Dust Leakage: If dust or debris escapes from the dust bin during operation or emptying, the seal is likely compromised.
• Physical Damage: Visible cracks, tears, or deformation of the red rubber sealing ring or the plastic fixing ring.
• Difficulty in Bin Operation: The bin may fall down or be difficult to remove/attach if the fixing ring is broken.
