CLEANING THE FILTER
To ensure your vacuum lives
a long and healthy life, it is
important to regularly clean the
filter. A dirty filter will result in
poor suction and could overheat
the motor. We recommend
cleaning the filter each time the
battery fully runs down.
1
Turn off the vacuum and remove
the dust cup by pressing up on
the dust cup release button.
2 Pull the filter frame out from the
top of the dust cup cover and
remove the foam filter from inside
(fig. 12).

and squeeze the water out
(fig. 13).
4 Let it air dry for 24 hours
DO NOT use a hair dryer or other
forced hot air to dry the filter.
5 When the foam filter is completely
dry, reinsert it into the filter frame
and put the frame back into the
top of the dust cup cover (fig. 14).
