6.2 Cleaning the HEPA Filter
The HEPA filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power and air filtration efficiency.
- With the dust container removed, locate the HEPA filter. It is typically inside the dust container or accessible once the container is removed.
- Carefully remove the filter.
- Tap the filter gently over a waste bin to dislodge loose dust.
- If the filter is washable, rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergents.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating devices.
- Reinstall the dry filter and then the dust container.
Recommendation: Clean the HEPA filter monthly, or more frequently with heavy use. Replace the HEPA filter annually or if it shows signs of damage.
