7. Maintenance

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

1. Emptying the Dust Cup:
   • When the dust cup is full, or suction power decreases, empty it.
   • Press the dust cup release button and detach the dust cup from the main unit.
   • Open the dust cup lid and empty the contents into a trash bin.
   • Reattach the dust cup securely.
2. Cleaning the Filters:
   • The vacuum features a microcellular cyclone tower and a HEPA filter. These should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction.
   • Remove the filters from the dust cup.
   • Tap the filters gently to remove loose dust. For thorough cleaning, rinse them under running water.
   • Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them into the dust cup. Do not use the vacuum with wet filters.

   • Periodically check the roller brush in the floor head for tangled hair or debris.
   • Remove the roller brush cover (refer to the diagram on the floor brush for release mechanism).
   • Carefully remove any tangled hair or fibers from the roller brush. The anti-winding comb structure minimizes this, but occasional cleaning may still be necessary.
