A hose can be wrapped and stored around the housing
or handle of the cleaner in large loops. Connect its both

the handle raised up. Alternatively, keep its root end
installed in the hose inlet and hang the loops on the
multi hook with the loose end tied up.

Cleaning of powder filter (HEPA) and
prefilter
Clean out the powder filter, prefilter and damper at
regular intervals since clogged filters and damper may
result in poor suction performance.
Routinely wipe and shake dust off filters and damper
by hand.
