5.2. Cleaning the Filters

Your vacuum cleaner uses a multicyclonic system and a cartridge filter. Regular cleaning of the filters is crucial for maintaining suction performance.

1. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged.
2. Remove the dust container as described above.
3. Locate the pre-motor filter (usually inside or on top of the dust container) and the exhaust filter (often at the back of the unit).
4. Gently tap the filters to remove loose dust. For a more thorough clean, rinse the filters under cold running water. Do NOT use detergents.
5. Allow the filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating devices.
6. Once completely dry, reassemble the filters and dust container.

Note: The filters should be cleaned regularly, depending on usage, and replaced every 6-12 months or if they show signs of wear or damage.
