Kenmore Lift-Up DU5080 Use & Care Manual page 20

It is recommended to clean the foam and
felt filters with cold water every three
months.
NOTE:
When the cleaning of filters no
longer restores vacuum cleaner suction
to full power, or the filters are worn or
broken, replace the filters. To purchase
filters, call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-
608-3081 (CA).
Regularly clean and replace the filters to
keep the vacuum's suction power optimal.

EMPTYING DUST CUP (page 18).
