Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of your washable filter is essential for maintaining your vacuum's suction power and extending the filter's lifespan. It is recommended to clean the filter every 30 days.

1. Remove Filter: Follow the initial steps for installation to remove the filter from the dust cup.
2. Rinse: Rinse the filter under running tap water until the water runs clear. Do not use soap or detergents.
3. Air Dry Completely: Shake off excess water and allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. It is crucial that the filter is 100% dry to prevent damage to the vacuum motor. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating methods to dry the filter.
4. Replacement: These filters are designed to be washable and reusable. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the filter after 3-4 washes or when you notice a significant decrease in suction power, even after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

If you experience reduced suction or unusual noises from your vacuum after filter installation or cleaning, consider the following:

• Filter Not Fully Dry: Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstallation. A damp filter can impede airflow and potentially damage the motor.
• Improper Installation: Verify that the filter is pressed firmly and correctly seated within the dust cup, with the filter material facing the correct direction.
• Filter Clogged: If the filter is old or has been washed multiple times, it may be permanently clogged. Consider replacing it with a new filter.
• Other Blockages: Check the vacuum's nozzle, hose, and dust cup for any other blockages that might be affecting suction.
