- Cleaning the Filter:
The washable fabric filter should be cleaned frequently to maintain strong suction. Remove the filter from the dust cup. Tap off loose dirt. For a deeper clean, rinse the filter with water and allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not operate the vacuum with a wet filter.
