CLEANING THE POST-MOTOR HEPA FILTER
1
Remove the filter cover from the front of
the vacuum by lifting the tab to pull the
cover away from the vacuum. (Fig. 22)
2 Pull the HEPA filter straight out.
3 Turn the filter over so that the dirty side is
on the bottom. Tap it vigorously against
the inside of a trash receptacle to knock
off any dust. (Fig. 23)
4 With the dirty side down, rinse the HEPA
filter with lukewarm tap water until the
water runs clear. (Fig. 24)
NOTE: The material in the filter will
discolor over time. This is normal and will
not affect the performance of the filter.
5 Allow the filter to air-dry for 24 hours.
DO NOT use a hair dryer or other heating
methods to dry.
6 When the HEPA filter is completely dry,
reinstall it.
7 Replace the cover by inserting the two
tabs into the holes at the top and then
swinging the cover down until it clicks
into place.

Brushroll
Fig. 25
CLEANING THE BRUSHROLL
When your brushroll needs cleaning or
locks onto an object, it automatically shuts
down. The indicator light will illuminate red,
warning you to turn off the vacuum and
clear the blockage immediately. The light will
reset once the blockage has been cleared
and power has been cycled on and off or
the vacuum has been locked in the upright
position.
1
Detach the motorized floor nozzle from
the canister.
2 Inspect the airway and the brushroll.
Remove any debris buildup. With scissors,
carefully cut away any fibers or hair
wrapped around the brushroll. Avoid
damaging or cutting the bristles. (Fig. 25)

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
Blockages may cause your vacuum to
overheat and shut down. To prevent this
from happening, check potential blockage
areas after heavy use, or if you detect a loss
of suction or poor cleaning performance.

Dust Cup
Dust cup may be full. Empty dust cup.
2 Pre-Motor & Post-Motor Filters

The post-motor HEPA filter needs to be
washed every 2 years.
Ensure that all the filters are clean.
