Cleaning the Filters

The Eureka Apollo uses a HEPA filter system. Filters should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging and maintain suction power.

2. Locate and remove the pre-motor filter (usually foam or felt) and the HEPA post-motor filter.
3. Tap the filters gently over a waste bin to remove loose dust.
4. If washable, rinse the filters under cold running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergents.
5. Allow filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating methods.
6. Reinsert the dry filters and reattach the dust container.

Note: Replace filters every 6-12 months, or as needed, depending on usage.
