6.2 Cleaning Filters

The Eureka AK10 Pet features a 5-stage cyclonic filtration system with a HEPA filter. Clean the filters regularly to maintain suction power.

• Pre-Motor Filters (MIF Filter, Cyclone Filter, Metal Mesh): Remove these filters from the dust cup. Tap off loose dirt. Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reassembling.
• HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter should be cleaned periodically. Tap off loose dirt. If heavily soiled, it can be rinsed under cold water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.

It is recommended to clean the pre-motor filters monthly and the HEPA filter every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
