5. Maintenance and Care

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

5.1 Cleaning the Filter

While this filter is designed for replacement, light debris can sometimes be gently tapped off into a waste bin. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water, as this can damage the delicate filter media and significantly reduce its effectiveness.

5.2 Replacement Frequency

For best performance and to maintain optimal indoor air quality, it is recommended to replace the Fdit HEPA filter every 3 to 6 months. This frequency may vary depending on usage intensity, the presence of pets, and household environment (e.g., allergy sufferers).

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after filter replacement, consider the following common solutions:

6.1 Reduced Suction Power

  • Check Filter Installation: Ensure the filter is correctly and securely installed in its compartment. A loose or improperly seated filter can cause air leaks and reduced suction.
  • Replace Filter: A clogged or heavily soiled filter is a common cause of reduced suction. If the filter appears dirty or discolored, replace it with a new one.

6.2 Unusual Odors

  • Replace Filter: Old filters can accumulate dust, debris, and odors over time. Replacing the filter often resolves issues with unusual smells emanating from the vacuum cleaner.
