1. Power Off: Ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power outlet before beginning any maintenance.

5. Operating Principles of Filters

The Artraise filter system employs a multi-stage filtration process to capture dust and allergens, improving indoor air quality.

• HEPA Filter: This premium filter is designed with a 60 PPI density and H12 efficiency, capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes dust, mites, dirt, hair, pet dander, and pollen.
• Felt Filter: An ultra-thick filter with a textured surface, it works to capture larger particles and protect the HEPA filter.
• Foam Filter: Utilizes advanced technology to absorb small particles such as food debris, hair, dirt, and pet dander, further protecting the vacuum motor and extending the life of the HEPA filter.

This image details the construction and function of the HEPA, felt, and foam filters.

This image visually represents how the filters work together to capture various particles, contributing to cleaner air.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and replacement of your filters are essential for maintaining optimal vacuum performance and air quality.

6.1. Cleaning Instructions (Washable & Reusable)

The foam and felt filters are washable and reusable. Follow these steps to clean them:

1. Rinse: Rinse the foam and felt filters under running water until the water runs clear.
2. Remove Excess Water: Gently squeeze the filters to remove excess water. Do not twist or wring them forcefully.
3. Air Dry: Allow the filters to completely air dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them into your vacuum. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent mold or mildew growth and damage to the vacuum.

Note: The HEPA filter is generally not washable and should be replaced when dirty.

6.2. Replacement Schedule

For optimal performance, it is recommended to:

• Clean the foam and felt filters every 1-2 months.
• Replace the HEPA filter every 6-12 months, or as needed based on usage and visible dirt accumulation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience reduced suction or notice a decrease in vacuum performance after installing new filters, consider the following:

• Filter Seating: Ensure all filters are correctly and securely seated in their compartments. Improper installation can lead to air leaks and reduced suction.
• Dryness: If you have recently washed the foam and felt filters, confirm they are completely dry before reinstallation. Damp filters can hinder airflow.
• Other Blockages: Check the vacuum's hose, brush roll, and dust cup for any blockages that might be affecting suction.
• Filter Condition: If filters are old or heavily soiled, even after cleaning, they may need to be replaced to restore full performance.
