To replace filter bags
Protect your Warranty! Always use genuine
Electrolux high-efficiency, four-ply, self-sealing
filter bags. Used exclusively, the Electrolux filter
bag will promote longer motor life and more
efficient cleaner operation. Be sure the filter bag
is in place before operating the machine.
When it is time to change filter bags, the
bag change indicator on the information
panel lights and the cleaner shuts off. The
cleaner controls this function automatically
and is regulated by the control dial setting.
NOTE: The filter bag may not appear com-
pletely full when vacuuming fine dirt
because this type of dirt clogs the pores of
the bag more quickly than coarse dirt.
However, it is still time to change the filter
bag in order to restore cleaning efficiency.
•Stand the machine on its end and press
the front cover release(ff).
•As the cover is opened, the filter bag
seals itself for removal(gg).
•Throw the old bag away–never attempt
to re-use filter bags.
•Install a new filter bag and close the
cover.
Storage
For best performance, carefully store clean-
er in a dry place. Do not store out-doors.

Pour remplacer le sac-filtre
Protégez votre garantie ! Employez toujours
l'authentique sac-filtre autoscellant très efficace
à quatre épaisseurs Electrolux. L'usage exclusif
du sac-filtre Electrolux prolonge la durée du
moteur et améliore le rendement de l'aspirateur.
S'assurer que le sac-filtre est en place avant de
mettre l'aspirateur en marche.
Quand le moment est venu de changer de
sac-filtre, le voyant de changement de sac
s'allume et l'aspirateur s'arrête. Ce dernier
commande cette fonction automatique-
ment, selon la position du bouton du
réglage.
NOTE : Le sac-filtre peut ne pas paraître
complètement plein si l'on aspire de la fine
poussière, car cette dernière bouche les
pores du sac plus rapidement que la grosse
poussière. Il est néanmoins temps de
changer de sac-filtre pour que le nettoyage
redevienne efficace.
• Mettre l'aspirateur debout sur son
extrémité et appuyer sur le loquet de
dégagement(ff) du capot antérieur.
• Comme le capot s'ouvre, le sac-filtre se
scelle automatiquement et il est prêt à
être enlevé (gg).
• Jeter le sac plein - ne jamais essayer de
réutiliser un sac-filtre.
• Installer un nouveau sac-filtre et refer-
mer le capot.
Entreposage
Pour obtenir un rendement maximal,
toujours ranger l'aspirateur dans un
endroit sec. Jamais à l'extérieur. Ranger la
brosse à ailettes et le suceur plat dans les
espaces réservés aux accessoires (hh) sur
la grille du filtre.

Questions and answers
Why does the bag light and plug light stay on
Changed dirt bag and will not stay running. Please advise.
The Electrolux Epic 6500 SR vacuum may not stay running after changing the dirt bag because the vacuum automatically shuts off when the bag change indicator lights up. This function is controlled by the vacuum and is regulated by the control dial setting. Additionally, if the filter bag is not properly installed or if a non-Electrolux filter bag is used, it may cause dirt leakage, affecting the vacuum’s operation. Ensuring the correct installation of an Electrolux filter bag should resolve the issue.

Fixing cord rewinder
To fix the cord rewinder on an Electrolux Epic 6500 SR:
1. Purchase a replacement cord winder assembly compatible with the Electrolux Epic 6500 SR (not compatible with models 8000, 9000, and Guardian).
2. Disassemble the vacuum housing carefully. Pay attention to how the top lead comes off so it can be reassembled correctly.
3. Install the new cord winder unit, ensuring the cord hole slot is aligned and held in place when the top is reattached.
4. Reassemble the vacuum housing, making sure all plastic tabs, especially near the hose end, snap into place.
5. Pull the cord to the desired length (not past the yellow band), plug it in, and check that the control light turns on.
6. To retract the cord, give it a light tug and guide it back slowly to prevent it from whipping into the unit. Hold the plug during retraction.

I cannot release the binding rail on the plug side of the canister. I have checked for locking tabs, tapped from rear forward with screw driver perpendicular and even tried hair dryer thermal expansion and contraction. It's almost like it's glued in. Recommendations short of taking in to repair shop. I would rather buy a new machine. epic 6500 SR.
