4. Installation
These foam filters are designed for easy installation. Always ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power source before attempting any maintenance or part replacement.
Installation Steps:

- Remove Old Filter: Carefully open the filter compartment and remove the old, dirty foam filter. Note its orientation for correct placement of the new filter.
- Clean Compartment (Optional but Recommended): Wipe down the filter compartment with a dry cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
- Insert New Filter: Place the new foam filter into the compartment, ensuring it sits snugly and correctly. The filter is designed to fit precisely, so do not force it.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning of your foam filter is essential for maintaining optimal vacuum cleaner performance and air quality. These filters are designed to be washable.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Remove Filter: Follow the initial steps of the installation guide to safely remove the foam filter from your vacuum cleaner.
- Rinse Under Running Water: Hold the filter under cool, running water. Gently squeeze the filter to remove trapped dirt and debris. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear.
- Do Not Use Detergents: Avoid using any soaps, detergents, or cleaning agents, as these can damage the foam material or leave residues that impair filtration.
- Air Dry Completely: Shake off excess water and allow the filter to air dry completely before re-installing it into the vacuum cleaner. This may take 24-48 hours. Do not use heat sources (like a hairdryer) to speed up drying, as this can deform the filter.
- Re-install: Once completely dry, re-install the filter as per the installation instructions.
Frequency: It is recommended to clean the foam filter every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage and the amount of dirt collected. Replace the filter every 6-12 months, or sooner if you notice a decrease in suction power, persistent odors, or visible damage to the filter material.

6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after replacing your foam filter, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
Common Issues & Solutions:
- Reduced Suction Power:
- Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installation. A damp filter can restrict airflow.
- Check that the filter is correctly seated in its compartment and the compartment lid is securely closed.
- Inspect other filters in your vacuum (e.g., HEPA filter) and the dust bin for fullness or blockages.
- Unusual Odors:
- The filter may not have been thoroughly cleaned or dried, leading to mildew. Re-clean and ensure complete drying.
- Consider replacing the filter if odors persist, as some particles may be deeply embedded.
- Filter Does Not Fit:
- Double-check your vacuum cleaner model number against the compatible models listed in this manual.
- Ensure the filter is oriented correctly as per your vacuum's design.
7. User Tips
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check your foam filter for signs of wear, tear, or excessive dirt buildup, even if it hasn't reached the recommended cleaning interval.
- Spare Filters: Having a spare set of filters allows you to continue using your vacuum cleaner while one set is drying after cleaning.
- Gentle Handling: While durable, handle the foam filters gently during removal, cleaning, and installation to avoid damage.
- Environmental Considerations: When disposing of old filters, check local recycling guidelines for foam materials.
