6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your Nilfisk One vacuum cleaner.
6.1. Dust Bag Replacement
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a dust bag full indicator. Replace the dust bag when the indicator shows it is full, or when suction power noticeably decreases.
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet.
- Open the dust bag compartment cover.
- Carefully remove the full dust bag, ensuring the opening is sealed to prevent dust leakage.
- Insert a new Nilfisk-compatible dust bag, ensuring it is correctly seated in the holder.
- Close the dust bag compartment cover securely until it latches.
6.2. Filter Cleaning and Replacement
The Nilfisk One uses an EPA 10 filter. This filter should be checked regularly and replaced approximately every 6-12 months, or more frequently with heavy use.
- Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
- Locate the filter compartment (often near the dust bag or at the exhaust).
- Remove the EPA 10 filter. If it is washable, rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use heat to dry.
- If the filter is not washable or is heavily soiled, replace it with a new Nilfisk EPA 10 filter.
- Reinsert the clean/new filter and close the compartment.
