- Remove the dust cup.
- Pull the foam and felt filters out of the dust cup.
- Tap loose dirt off filters. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Allow filters to air-dry completely before reinstalling.
Self-Cleaning Brushroll
The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to prevent hair wrap. Periodically check the brushroll for any debris or blockages and remove them if necessary.
