22 MAINTENANCE
NOTE
• Replace the dust bag if it smells, even if it is not
full.
• The motor protection filter will eventually need
to be replaced. Contact an LG Electronics
customer service center.
Cleaning the Filters
Clean the motor protection filter and the exhaust
filter every 3 months or sooner if the dust
emptying function seems weaker.
• Clean the filters more frequently if the appliance
is used regularly or in areas with a lot of dust.
CAUTION
• Do not use the appliance without the exhaust
filter and the motor protection filter installed.
Doing so could result in product damage.

doors.
2
Hold the product with one hand and open the
dust bag door with the other hand.
3

the motor protection filter with the other
hand.

To remove the exhaust filter, hold the bottom
of the product and pull the handle end of the
filter.

Remove dust from the motor protection filter
and exhaust filter once every 3 months and
wash them using room temperature water.

motor, allow the motor protection filter and
the exhaust filter to dry completely in a well-
ventilated area out of direct sunlight for at
least 24 hours before reassembling.
