Setup and Installation
- Power Off: Ensure your Dirt Devil Cordless Broom Vac BV2010 is turned off and unplugged before beginning installation.
- Remove Dust Cup: Detach the dust cup from the main body of the vacuum cleaner. Refer to your vacuum's primary instruction manual for specific dust cup removal procedures.
- Remove Old Filter: Carefully remove the old, soiled filter from the dust cup. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
- Insert New Filter: Place the new pleated replacement filter into the dust cup. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely. The spreader clips, if included and necessary for your model, should be used to maintain the cup's shape and secure the filter.
- Reattach Dust Cup: Reattach the dust cup to the vacuum cleaner, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
Your vacuum is now ready for use with the new filter.
Operating Considerations
While the filter itself does not have operational controls, its proper function is integral to the vacuum's performance. A clean filter ensures maximum suction power and efficient dust collection. Operate your Dirt Devil Cordless Broom Vac BV2010 as per its main instruction manual.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your pleated filter extends its lifespan and maintains vacuum efficiency.
Cleaning the Filter:
- Remove Filter: Follow steps 1-3 from the "Setup and Installation" section to remove the filter from the dust cup.
- Tap Out Debris: Gently tap the filter over a waste bin to dislodge loose dirt and dust.
- Rinse (if applicable): The filter is designed to be washable. Rinse the filter under cool, running water until the water runs clear. Do not use hot water or detergents.
- Air Dry: Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use heat to dry the filter, as this can damage the material.
- Reinstall: Once completely dry, reinstall the filter as described in the "Setup and Installation" section.
Note: While reusable, filters will eventually wear out or become too clogged to clean effectively. It is recommended to replace the filter every 3-6 months, or sooner depending on usage and the type of debris collected (e.g., fine dust, pet hair).
Filter Replacement:
Replace the filter when it shows signs of damage, excessive wear, or if cleaning no longer restores adequate suction. Refer to the "Setup and Installation" section for replacement steps.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced suction power | Clogged or dirty filter | Clean or replace the filter as per maintenance instructions. |
| Dust escaping from vacuum | Damaged or improperly installed filter | Check filter for damage; ensure it is correctly seated in the dust cup. Replace if damaged. |
