Cleaning the Washable Filter
The vacuum includes a washable filter for long-lasting performance. To clean, remove the filter from the dust cup. Rinse the filter under cold water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the dust cup. Do not use detergent or hot water, and ensure the filter is completely dry before reassembly to prevent damage to the vacuum.
