Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your vacuum cleaner.

1. Replacing SaniSeal Bags: The vacuum uses SaniSeal bags that hold up to 4X more debris than standard bagless vacuums. When the bag is full, simply unlatch the bag cover, remove the full bag, and replace it with a new SaniSeal bag. The SaniSeal feature helps to lock in dirt and dust during disposal, minimizing airborne allergens.
2. HEPA Media Filter: The vacuum is equipped with a HEPA Media filter. Refer to the included manual for specific instructions on checking and replacing the filter to maintain optimal filtration efficiency.
3. Cleaning the Brush Roll: Periodically check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris. The brush roll can be accessed by removing screws on the base plate. Carefully cut away any tangled hair or threads to ensure the brush roll spins freely.
