Maintenance

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

Emptying the Dust Container

Empty the dust container regularly, ideally after each use, to maintain strong suction.

3. Open the bottom flap of the dust container over a waste bin.
4. Shake out all dust and debris.
5. Close the flap and reattach the dust container to the handheld unit.

The dust container is designed for easy, hygienic emptying with a simple release mechanism.

Cleaning the Filters

The Invictus X5 features a 3-fold filter system, including a HEPA filter. Clean these filters regularly to prevent loss of suction and ensure efficient filtration.
