Replacing the secondary filter
The secondary lter protects the motor
from dust and dirt. Before installing a new
vacuum bag, check the lter. Accumulated
dirt in the bag compartment will be
collected on this lter and may restrict
motor performance when the lter
becomes dirty.
• Open the bag compartment lid and locate
the secondary lter on the bottom of the
bag compartment.
• Remove secondary filter from the bottom
of the bag compartment.
• The foam secondary filter can be washed
and reused. If washed, make sure the
filter is completely dry before reinstalling.
The charcoal secondary filter cannot
be reused (models SYMPNT & SYMP).
Remove and throw away the used
charcoal secondary filter.
• Insert the new filter by sliding it under
the bag support.
• Close the bag compartment lid.
