2. Cleaning the Filter

The filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power. After emptying the dustbin, remove the filter. Tap it gently over a waste bin to remove loose dust. For a more thorough clean, the filter can be washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not wash the filter in a dishwasher.
