Maintenance

    2. Hold the vacuum over a trash can.
    3. Push the red lever on the dustbin to release the bottom flap and empty the contents.
    4. Close the flap securely until it clicks.
  • Filter Cleaning: The filter should be washed periodically (approximately once a month) to ensure proper air filtration and suction.
    1. Twist the filter counter-clockwise from the top of the motor housing to remove it.
    2. Rinse the filter under cold running water until the water runs clear.
    3. Tap the filter gently to remove excess water.
    4. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a dryer or heat source.
  • Brush Bar Cleaning: Regularly check the cleaner head's brush bar for tangled hair or debris. Remove any obstructions to maintain effective cleaning.
