Signature 465 Filter
Question:
Is the filter replaceable on the signature model 465? if so what is the replacement part # and do you sell it?
 Answer:
We don't carry replacments for the Signature series.  You can remove the bag and wash it in mild detergent. Just be sure that it is completely dry before reinserting.
Low Suction
Question:
i have a signature model 465. It seems to have lost a fair amount of suction. I do not have a manual, how do I service this thing? Is there a filter that I can/should check and replace? If so where do I find it? I have emptied the canister on the bottom and that did not help. Suggestions also, is there a way for me to do a suction test? The problem seems to be from every outlet.
 Answer:
Use this guide for help www.builtinvacuum.com/flowchrt.html. The filter is a center weighted cloth filter that comes out by pulling a side of it inward.
Dirt Inside Cloth Filter?
Question:
I just emptied my Signature 465, but there seems to be a lot of material INSIDE the permanent filter bag. How do I remove the bag and clean out the contents?
 Answer:
Hi, debris gets in between the two layers, that is normal. There is also a center weighted part that feels likes rocks inside but that is supposed to be there to help the bag fall into the off position.
