Powerhead

To gain access to the dust bag, release the two powerhead latches and remove the powerhead. Lift out the two permanent filters, and remove the dust bag by sliding the cardboard collar from the inlet spigot. Dust bag replacement is carried out in the reverse sequence. If after prolonged use the permanent filters appear excessively contaminated, rinse them thoroughly in luke warm water and allow them to dry naturally before use. The Microfilter is not a user serviceable item and can only be replaced by qualified technical personnel.
