Maintenance

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

• Cleaning the Washable HEPA Filter:
  The HEPA filter is washable and reusable. To clean, remove the filter from the dust cup. Rinse it under cool, running water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use the vacuum with a wet filter.
