CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS

CLEANING FILTERS
Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum's suction power.
To prevent damage from cleaning chemicals, rinse filters with cold water only. Allow all filters to air-dry for
at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters.
CLEAN PRE-MOTOR FILTERS
EVERY 3 MONTHS
Pre-Motor (foam and felt):
With the dust cup removed, take out the foam and
felt filters, and rinse them with water. Tap loose dirt
off filters between washes as needed.
NOTE: The pre-motor filters should be replaced
every 2.5 years. The post-motor filter should be
replaced every 3 years.
CLEAN HEPA FILTER
EVERY YEAR
Post-Motor (HEPA):
To access the HEPA filter, press the button under
the filter cover and lift off the cover. Pull out the
HEPA filter and rinse it with water only. Allow the
filter to air-dry completely before reinstalling.
