Maintenance

2. Cleaning the EPA Filter: The EPA filter should be cleaned periodically to ensure efficient filtration and prevent loss of suction. Remove the filter from the dust container and gently tap it to dislodge dust. For a more thorough cleaning, rinse the filter under running water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum cleaner.
