VACUUM MAINTENANCE & CARE
The key to maximum performance is
having a clean filter. Cleaning the filter
after each use will help your vacuum
operate at peak efficiency.
Use only genuine Kenmore model number
57004 replacement filters in your Kenmore
vacuum. To purchase visit www.sears.com
or call 1-844-553-6667.
4. Remove the filter
from the filter basket.
With a soft brush, brush
accumulated debris from
the side screens of the
filter basket and from the
filter.
5. After much repeated use, it may be
necessary to wash the filter basket and
filter clean of accumulated dust. First brush
loose debris from both basket and filter
cloth, then hand wash basket and filter in
warm water. After washing, set both aside
and allow to air dry. IMPORTANT: The
basket and filter must be completely dry
before reuse.
6. Insert the clean, dry filter into the
basket, fit the basket into the dust cup,
and reconnect the dust cup to the hand
vacuum.
