Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.

1. Emptying the Dustbin: After each use or when the dustbin is full, press the dustbin release button to hygienically empty its contents into a trash receptacle.

If necessary, rinse the filters with cold water. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them. Do not use the vacuum with wet filters.
3. Cleaning the Brush Roll: Periodically check the motorized floor brush for tangled hair or debris. Turn off the vacuum, then use scissors or a brush to carefully remove any obstructions from the brush roll.
4. Wiping Down the Unit: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the vacuum cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
