Bags/filters guide and maintenance

Ensuring Your Central Vacuum’s Performance and Longevity

Regular maintenance of the bags and filters in a central vacuum system is essential to maintain suction power and prolong the system’s lifespan. Hybrid vacuums can operate with or without a bag; if a bag is used, it should be replaced when it is three-quarters full to avoid loss of performance. Filters should also be cleaned or replaced to prevent dust buildup and protect the motor, especially when the vacuum is used without a bag. Proper maintenance ensures better air quality, reduces wear on components, and guarantees optimal system performance.

Disposable bag and filter replacement of your central vacuum

Step 1

1. To access the bag, unlatch the two clips and remove the dust receptacle. Remove the used bag and seal bag opening (adhesive seal provided on each bag). Discard used bag.

Step 2

2. Install the new bag, ensuring the tabs on the bag adaptor are aligned with the slots in the bag collar.

Step 3

3. Ensure adequate sealing by inserting bag as far as retention ring (A). Rotate bag 20° (B) to ensure tabs on bag adaptor are no longer aligned with the slots in the bag collar. Put the dust receptacle back in place and seal by latching both clips.
