5.2 Cleaning the Filters
The vacuum cleaner utilizes a 5-stage high-efficiency filtration system, including a primary cyclone, honeycomb filtration, cyclone filtration, upgraded filter pad, and sponge filter.
To maintain suction power and filter efficiency:
- Frequency: We recommend cleaning the filter frequently and replacing it regularly, ideally every two months.
- Washing: The filter can be washed with water. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it back into the machine.
- Longevity: Proper cleaning of the filter ensures the longevity of the vacuum cleaner motor.
- Note: The filter element HEPA does not support washing.
6. Troubleshooting
