Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your Henry vacuum cleaner.
5.1. Înlocuirea sacului de praf
The Henry HVR 160-11 uses high-efficiency dust bags. Replace the bag when the suction power noticeably decreases or when the 'full' indicator (if present) suggests it's time.
- Deconectați aspiratorul de la priză.
- Unclip and remove the top head unit of the vacuum.
- Carefully lift out the full dust bag. The Henry bags feature an innovative self-seal tab to lock dust inside, ensuring a dust-free emptying process.
- Aruncați punga plină în mod responsabil.
- Insert a new Henry dust bag, ensuring the cardboard collar is correctly seated in the bag holder.
- Replace the top head unit and secure the clips.

5.2. Curăţarea filtrului
The vacuum is equipped with a foam filter. Periodically check the filter for excessive dust build-up. To clean:
