5. Operating Instructions
The Keepow filter bags are designed for optimal performance in dry pickup applications. Adhere to the following guidelines for effective use:
- Dry Use Only: These filters are specifically engineered for handling dry messes such as dirt, dust, and sawdust.
- Avoid Fine Dust: It is not recommended to use these filters for very fine dust, such as drywall debris or ashes, as this can prematurely clog the filter and reduce vacuum efficiency.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the filter during extended use to ensure it is not excessively clogged, which can impact suction power.
6. Maintenance
To extend the lifespan and maintain the efficiency of your Keepow filter bags, follow these maintenance steps:
- Washing: The filter bags are washable. Gently rinse them under running water to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
- Drying: After washing, it is crucial to let the filter bag dry completely before reinstallation and reuse. Ensure no moisture remains to prevent damage to your vacuum or mold growth.
- Reusability: With proper cleaning and care, these filters can be reused multiple times, offering long-term value.
- Cleaning Tool Use: Utilize the included yellow cleaning tool to brush off stubborn debris from the filter surface before or after rinsing.

If you encounter issues while using your Keepow filter bags, consider the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
