The ESPC71DB uses a cyclonic filter system. Refer to the specific instructions in your included operating instructions for detailed filter cleaning procedures. Generally, filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., after every 5-10 uses) and replaced annually or as needed.
- Pre-Motor Filter: This filter protects the motor. It can usually be rinsed under cold running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
