This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly

shuts off, push the switch pedal once and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such

as a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to

use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the cleaner still does not run,

call a Eureka Service Station.

SERVICE INFORMATION: 1-800-282-2886

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug will

fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Cette fiche ne peut être insérée dans une prise polarisée que d’une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut été insérée dans la prise,

retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un

électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

HOW TO MAINTAIN

8

The paper bag and filter play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the paper bag is

to trap dirt and at the same time the paper must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the paper bag or filter

become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning takes place regardless of how powerful the unit. To

keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as necessary.

Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full.

When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, clean the bag and filter more often.

HOW TO CHANGE DISPOSABLE DUST BAG

Open cleaner cover. Pull the sliding tab to remove

dust bag. Insert new dust bag by sliding the bag

slots into the holder. Close cover.

Use GENUINE EUREKA replacement bag, 61230. NOTE: Lid will not latch if dust bag is not installed.

HOW TO CHANGE MOTOR FILTER

Open cleaner cover.

Use GENUINE EUREKA replacement motor filter, 61263. The motor filter can be cleaned. Run under water and allow to

thoroughly air dry. NOTE: Lid will not latch if dust bag is not installed.

Remove filter and

covering strip. Important: Insert new filter into

original covering strip. Then

install filter with covering strip

securely in place. Close cover.

NOTE: Turn off the power switch and disconnect electrical plug from wall socket before

changing dust bag. Never use the cleaner without a dust bag or filters.

HOW TO CHANGE HEPA FILTER AND FINAL FILTER

Open filter cover by lifting up on

latches and pulling filter cover out

and away from the cleaner.

Replace old HEPA filter with new

HEPA filter. Clean or replace final

filter in filter cover and close cover.

Ensure the filter cover is

securely fastened.

Use GENUINE EUREKA HEPA filter, 60286A. We recommend the HEPA filter be changed every 6 months or as needed.

Use GENUINE EUREKA Final filter, 61262. The final filter can be cleaned. Run under water and allow to thoroughly air dry.

How to Replace Worn Belt or Light Bulb

NOTE: Disconnect power cord and wands from electrical hose before replacing belt or bulb. Belt pulleys can become

hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.

3. Lift out brush roll; replace new belt around brush roll

shaft.

2. Remove two screws located in front of the light bulb

and lift up to remove the brush roll cover.

1. Remove two screws from bottom side. To turn over,

grasp hood near handle socket and lift forward.

Replace headlight bulb (on some models), if necessary.

Support socket with one hand and push light bulb into

socket; turn to release. Place new light bulb into socket;

turn to secure. Push light bulb and socket back so bulb

will not touch lens cover. Use GENUINE EUREKA

replacement bulb, 59224.

Continue to step 2 to change belt. Skip to step 7

and 8 to replace hood on motorized nozzle.

4. Return brush

roll into base.

5. Rotate belt onto motor pulley.

6. Replace brush roll cover.

Use GENUINE EUREKA replacement belt, 52201C.

7. Tilt cover over ridge and push down.

8. Secure with screws on underside (refer to 1).

Open filter cover by lifting up on

latches and pulling filter cover out

and away from the cleaner.

Clean or replace washable HEPA

filter. Clean or replace final filter in

filter cover and close cover.

Ensure the filter cover is

securely fastened.

Use GENUINE EUREKA washable HEPA filter, 61053. To clean filter rinse dirty

side of filter under warm, low pressure water being careful not to get the clean side

wet (this increases drying time). Do not put damp filter back in vacuum cleaner.

Allow to thoroughly air dry.

How To Change or Clean Washable HEPA Filter and Final Filter (Model 6996 only)

Use GENUINE EUREKA Final filter, 61262. The final filter can be cleaned. Run under water and allow to thoroughly air dry.
