Maintenance & Care
Cleaning the tank filter
1. Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the
electrical outlet.
2. Remove dirt container by pressing release
button and pulling away from the vacuum by
the handle.
3. The filter is located inside of the dirt container
lid. Open dirt container lid by lifting release latch.
4. Grasp the filter and pull to remove.
5. The filter can be washed by hand in warm
water. Mild detergent may be used if desired.
Rinse well, then air dry completely before
putting back into the dirt container lid.
6. Place the filter back in the dirt container
lid. The white mesh side should be put in first
with the black foam side still visible. Align the
locating details on the filter with the locating
features in the tank lid.
NOTE: If the filter is still excessively dirty,
damaged or torn, it will need to be replaced
(see page 14 for replacement parts).
7. Close the dirt container lid and place the
dirt container back onto the unit.
NOTE: When replacing the filter set, the white
fabric side should be installed first. The dark
foam side should be all that's visible once the
filters are in place
NOTICE
While vacuuming, certain carpets and low humidity
conditions may generate small static discharges. The
discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated
in any way with the main power supply.
