Cleaning Filters
The foam filters should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power. Rinse with water and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Pre-Motor Filters: Locate the foam and felt filters beneath the dust cup. Remove and tap loose dirt. Rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Allow to air dry for at least 24 hours.
- Post-Motor Filter: This filter is typically located at the bottom or rear of the vacuum. Refer to the full user guide for specific instructions on cleaning or replacing this filter.
Brushroll Maintenance
Periodically check the brushroll for any hair, string, or debris that may be wrapped around it. Use scissors to carefully cut away any entangled material.
