3. Setup and Installation

- Step 1: Power Off and Unplug: Ensure your Electrolux canister vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet before beginning any maintenance.
- Step 2: Locate Filter Compartment: Refer to your vacuum cleaner's original manual to locate the top-mounted after-filter compartment. This is typically found near the motor or exhaust area.
- Step 3: Remove Old Filter: Carefully open the filter compartment and remove the used filter. Dispose of the old filter according to local waste disposal guidelines.
- Step 4: Insert New Filter: Place the new replacement filter into the compartment, ensuring it is seated correctly and securely. The filter should fit snugly to prevent air bypass.
- Step 5: Close Compartment: Close the filter compartment cover firmly until it latches. Ensure all latches are engaged to maintain a proper seal.
- Step 6: Test Operation: Plug in and turn on your vacuum cleaner to confirm proper operation and air flow. Listen for any unusual noises or air leaks.
4. Maintenance
Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Electrolux vacuum cleaner. These filters are designed for single-use and should be replaced when visibly dirty or when vacuum performance decreases.
- Replacement Frequency: Replace filters every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently with heavy use or if you have pets.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter for dirt buildup, tears, or damage. A clogged filter can reduce suction power and potentially release dust back into the air.
