Maintenance

Emptying and Cleaning the Tank

1. Ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Release the tank latches located on the sides of the unit.
3. Carefully lift the motor housing off the tank.
4. Empty the contents of the 1-gallon tank.
5. Rinse the tank with water and mild detergent if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembly to prevent mold and odors.

Cleaning the Filter

The WAGAN EL750 uses a cartridge filter, which is crucial for maintaining suction performance.

1. With the motor housing removed, locate the filter.
2. Gently remove the filter from its housing.
3. For dry debris, tap the filter against a hard surface to dislodge dust. For wet use, the filter may need to be rinsed under running water.
4. If rinsing, allow the filter to dry completely before reinserting it. A damp filter can reduce suction efficiency and promote mold growth.

Storage

Store the unit and all accessories in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the tank and filter are dry before storage.
